After receiving counsel from Basketball Hall of Famer Joe Dumars earlier this week on...
Brock Cunningham and his Texas teammates received some motivation this week via a virtual chat with Basketball Hall of Famer Joe Dumars.AUSTIN — Texas invited Naismith Hall of Famer and two-time NBA champion Joe Dumars to serve as the inaugural speaker for its new “Basketball Greatness Series.”“It was just a gold mine of information,” Cunningham said.
What stood out most to Cunningham was how forcefully the Detroit Pistons legend spoke about confronting failure and adversity on the winding path to greatness. “How do you handle failure?” Dumars asked a rapt audience. “I don’t care who you are or who you see as successful; they have failed along the way. And if you can’t handle failure, you’ll never get to greatness.”
The sixth-ranked Longhorns will keep that in mind as they approach Saturday’s home game against archrival Oklahoma .on Monday night in Lubbock. Cunningham and Co. can’t afford many, if any more setbacks like that as they vie for the program's first conference title since 2008. “In this sport and especially in life, your life is going to be determined by how you handle failure,” Cunningham said. “We’re coming off of a loss and we’re getting better and we’re moving into this next game. But we’ll be better coming out on Saturday.”in the conference opener on New Year’s Eve. But second-year coach Porter Moser's team also owns some impressive wins, including a 93-69 romp over No. 1 Alabama on Jan. 28 and a 14-point win over No. 12 Kansas State on Tuesday.
