His team was very lucky to make the Tournament last season with a losing conference record.

True, but you have to remember that UT lost on a last second three quarter court shot. That was a decent team that had some capability and Northern Illinois was a good team that year, only losing by 4 to #3 seed Texas A&M.
Plus, Texas hasn't ever really had much success in the NCAA tournament, best most recent showing was 2008. So it's not like Shaka took the program down much from where it was. But yeah, it is a football school so you get what you get.
