Unfortunately, the only "damage" Texas can do to the bracket this week is to itself.  None of the teams seeded higher than Texas in the last reveal or in Creme's bracket had bad losses in their conference tourneys (unless you consider Notre Dame's blowout loss to Louisville bad).  So, I just don't see anyone among the 9-12 seeds moving down since the last reveal.

On Thursday, Texas will play either Texas Tech (NET 75) or Kansas State (NET 66).  Losing that quarterfinal game probably knocks Texas down to the #5 line; winning that game doesn't move the needle in the committee's eyes.  If Texas advances to the semi-final round, the opponent would be either Oklahoma State (NET 47) or West Virginia (NET 6).  Advancing to the Big 12 championship game on Sunday just might be necessary to remain on the 4-seed line.  The result of the championship game might not even matter as the bracket gets release a couple of hours later; bracket most likely set as of Saturday night.
