1 bad inning beat us. We made some uncharacteristic errors and mental mistakes that game in 1 inning that costed some unearned runs. Outside of 1 or 2 innings that game Tennessee handled Texas for majority of the game.

That's baseball, dude. OU beat us in the Big 12 championship 8-1, with all 8 runs coming in the third inning. And there is zero chance I would ever argue "well, if you take away that one inning, we're conference champions!"

Part of the game.

If you take away the last two innings of the Tennessee vs. Kentucky semifinal, then Tennessee was no better than a team that failed to make regionals...
