T.J. Ford: The Longhorns' biggest difference-maker ever
Ford Keys Texas Victory. Led by T.J. Ford's 19 points, the Longhorns beat the Spartans, 85-76, and are headed to the Final Four for the first time in 56 years. By Thomas George. [New York Times: Sports]
Great win for the Longhorns. T.J. Ford has made more of an impact than any other UT athlete ever. Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams each won a Heisman Trophy, but Texas was already established as a football school long before that. Ford is the nation's best point guard, and he makes the rest of the players around him better. Magic Johnson, who knows a thing or two about playing that position, called Ford "unguardable".
