I mean seriously other than them having a big name why should they get in?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: it is hilarious to me that Texas is even in this position. What a fricking train wreck.

Except for actual performance on the basketball court.

That's irrelevant in cbb. If that actually mattered they'd just take the final RPI rankings and take teams 1-50.
And honestly, how do you know they're one of the top 50?

Texas is 3-13 v. the RPI top 50. THREE and THIRTEEN. I get that they scheduled tough, but you have to beat some of them. LSU has as many RPI top 50 wins, in 11 less attempts (3-2). Heck, Ole Miss has 3 RPI top 50 wins (3-7).
Texas is 4-7 on the road, they are 9-11 in conference. They are #43 in the RPI, which is decidedly mediocre. I think their resume sucks, but I'm positive they make the field.
Texas' entire case is founded upon losing to a bunch of really good teams. I hate that kind of case. It should be "what did you do?" not "our failures are better than your failures".
Texas' average win was #146 in the RPI. Purdue, Iowa, and Michigan all have higher average RPI wins. So do Auburn, NC State, and Kansas St. Texas' case is essentially the average RPI of the teams they've lost to is #19. Heck, TCU's is #24, can we put them in the field?
ETA: I should also note that Texas bears no responsibility for their tough schedule. Their OOC SOS according to KenPom is 202nd. Texas is getting in because the Big 12 is great, not anything they actually did.
