Texas forward Dylan Disu will miss Sunday's Elite Eight matchup against Miami. The 6-foot-9 senior averaged 23.5 points and 10 rebounds over the first and second rounds.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Texas will be without rising star forward Dylan Disu Sunday when it faces Miami in the Elite Eight at the T-Mobile Center, a team source told the Express-News.
Disu spent the rest of that night on the sideline with a walking boot on his injured left foot. While Disu rested and rehabbed Saturday in hopes of playing Sunday afternoon, the team ultimately decided to rule him out about two hours before the 4:05 p.m. tip against the Hurricanes. But amid his 28-point, 10-board onslaught against the Nittany Lions, Disu suffered that left foot injury. It wasn’t until the next day that Disu realized it could be serious.
With Disu sidelined, Texas will likely turn to fifth-year forward Christian Bishop to start in his place against fifth-seeded Miami . A Missourian who grew up in the suburbs of Kansas City, the 6-7 Bishop had arguably his best game in a Texas uniform against Xavier with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting and nine rebounds in 24 minutes.
