Marcus Carr's goal this season has never shifted, and that's cutting down the nets on April 3 after a win in the NCAA men's basketball final.
The Texas Longhorns star guard has been the leading scorer and facilitator for the seventh-ranked Longhorns in his fifth and final college season.
After a drop off in production in 2021-22 with Texas -- averaging 11.4 points per game after scoring 19.4 per game the year before -- and the early tournament exit, Carr opted against going pro."I don't really try and dwell on the past," he said. "I'm definitely glad I came back and had this one last ride with my brothers, for sure."
"His leadership has been tremendous. He and Brock Cunningham are probably the main leaders on this year's team and for a better part of the year, as Marcus goes, the Texas Longhorns go in terms of scoring the ball and playing with great pace." All of the work has translated into success, as Carr has "trusted his teammates" while putting together eight 20-plus point performances -- including 41 against Texas A&M Commerce on Dec. 27.
