Ya en el torneo su aparición más destacable fue la Final Four de 2003 donde Texas (con T.J Ford entre otros) fue derrotado por la Syracuse de Carmelo Anthony, que terminaría por alzarse con el campeonato tras ganar a Kansas en la final. Además se ha clasificado 5 veces para Sweet Sixteen y 3 veces para el Elite 8. La dirección deportiva de la universidad ya ha puesto en marcha la búsqueda de un nuevo técnico, destacando Gregg Marshall, head coach de Wichita St, como candidato número 1 al puesto.
Declaraciones del técnico en su marcha:
"I am so blessed to have spent the last 17 years at The University of Texas. This university, the city of Austin and the great Texas fans have been so good to me and my family. I sincerely want to thank (former UT Men's Athletics Director) DeLoss Dodds and (former UT Chairman of the Board of Regents) Don Evans for their work in bringing me here and providing me with this great opportunity.
I leave this job with no regrets. Instead, I look back at our time here and say 'thank you' to all the players, coaches and staff who have worked with our program throughout the last 17 years. I am so proud of our players and their success, not only on the court, but also in the classroom and in the community. I'm humbled when I really step back and think about how many of them have gone on to be such great all-around men in life."
