Texas Longhorns Bounced in 2nd Round by Arizona Wildcats

The Texas Longhorns were defeated by the Arizona Wildcats in the 2nd round of the Men's NCAA Tournament.  It was an instant classic of a game, a heartbreaking defeat for the Texas Longhorns.  The Arizona Wildcats survived to a 70-69 victory.  Derrick Williams converted a 3 point play with 9 seconds left to win the game, after a Cory Joseph was unable to inbound the ball under the basket, resulting in a 5 second violation.  The loss leaves the Texas Longhorns with a 28-8 record on the season.  It was a great year Longhorns. 

Texas Squeezes Out 85-81 Victory Over #13 Seed Oakland

The #4 seed Texas Longhorns defeated the pesky #13 seed Oakland Golden Grizzlies 85-81.  Tristan Thompson, the sensational freshman, had a monster game with a stat line of 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocked shots.  He was HUGE in this game.  Texas was leading the majority of the game, but Oakland kept staying alive and trying to rally.  Hats off to Oakland, they fought hard.

Up next for Texas will be the winner of Memphis and Arizona.

Texas Longhorns Get #4 Seed

The Texas Longhorns finished the regular season with a 27-7 record. They finished runner-up in the Big 12 Tournament, losing to Kansas 85-73 in the championship game. They received the #4 seed in the West region and will open up against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, a team that went 25-9 and 17-1 in their conference. They are a team capable of upsets, beating Tennessee this season and losing to Michigan State by 1. In the West, Duke got a #1, San Diego State got the #2, and Connecticut got the #3.

Kansas State Adds To Injury, Upsets Texas

The Texas Longhorns are getting their losses out of the way.  Well, hopefully at least that's the plan.  After two tough losses to the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Colorado Buffaloes, the Kansas State Wildcats proved to be the latest cinderella to take down the Texas Longhorns.  Kansas State had lofty rankings to begin the year, with All-American candidate Jacob Pullen, but they quickly fell out of the gate.  However, the 75-70 victory over the Longhorns proves that they can play with just about anyone in the country (they defeated the Kansas Jayhawks this year already as well).  Tristan Thompson had 26 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.
