Gary Goodner at post.
IIRC in the 4 or 5 games from Austin to MSG and the final no opponent finished within about 15 points of Texas.
Back then the SWC usually only got their champ a bid for the NCAAS. That Texas squad had chemistry and balance, maybe could have gotten to Elite 8 if invited and depending upon luck of the draw.
Edit: So checked it out via the googlemachine, Texas' NIT run:
72-58 over Temple, 14 pt W
67-48 over Nebraska, 19 pt W
96-76 over Rutgers, 20 pt W
101-93 over NCState, 8 pt W in title game, but I don't think the game was ever close
