Texas' Brock Cunningham was lone Longhorn to stay on court and watch Miami celebrate reaching Final Four

As Miami players celebrated advancing to the Final Four after the buzzer sounded, every Texas Longhorn was off the court — except for Brock Cunningham.

Television cameras surrounded the Hurricanes as they hugged and congratulated each other for helping the program reach their first-ever Final Four. Cunningham watched from the other end of court, with his hands on his hips, then clutching his jersey as "The Eyes of Texas" played at the same time as Miami's band played.

In videos shared on Twitter, Cunningham can be seen seen raising his hand to give the "hook'em" gesture before he heads off the court.

In a post-game press conference, he expressed disappointment at how the season ended.

"It was very upsetting," Cunningham said of the second half. "You want to keep playing with your brothers for as long as possible, and unfortunately there's only one happy team at the end of it."
