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.
