How Did Current Hawks Fare in March Madness?
By Dallin Duffy
Isaiah Taylor – Texas
Isaiah Taylor, who played a career-high 27 minutes for the Hawks in Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bulls, was part of three Texas Longhorn teams that made the postseason. In the 2014 Tournament, 7-seed Texas beat 10-seed Arizona in the first round. They then lost to Michigan in a game in which Taylor put up 22 points and five assists.
Like several other Hawks, Taylor fell victim to Butler in the following season. The 11th seeded Longhorns scored less than 50 points en route to a 56-48 defeat.
In his final season in Austin, Texas were a six seed, but drew a tough draw by having to play a mis-seeded Northern Iowa team. Taylor scored a game high 22, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Panthers.
