Texas Longhorns vs. Miami Elite 8 Starting Lineups: Who Starts for Dylan Disu?
KANSAS CITY, MO. - Texas Longhorns forward Dylan Disu has officially been ruled for Sunday's Elite Eight matchup against the Miami Hurricanes in Kansas City due to the bone bruise in his foot that kept him sidelined for nearly all of Friday's 83-71 win over Xavier in the Sweet 16.
While Texas waited till near tip-off on Sunday to list him as unavailable, he was already going to have a steep hill to climb in order to play with just one day of rest.
So who takes his place in a Texas starting lineup that hasn't changed - outside of Timmy Allen's absence in the Big 12 Tournament - for nearly the entire season?
The starting lineups for Sunday's game have been revealed. Instead of starting Sir'Jabari Rice like he did in the Big 12 Tournament, Rodney Terry has elected to go for size by giving forward Christian Bishop his second start of the season.
Texas
- Timmy Allen
- Tyrese Hunter
- Marcus Carr
- Dillon Mitchell
- Christian Bishop
Miami
- Isaiah Wong
- Jordan Miller
- Norchad Omier
- Nijel Pack
- Wooga Poplar
Bishop is coming off of one of his best performances as a Longhorn in Friday's win over Xavier. He posted a season-high 18 points on 8 of 12 shooting to go along with nine rebounds.
The Longhorns and Hurricanes will tip-off at 4:05 p.m. CT.
