The Texas Longhorns’ bracket is set. Head coach Rodney Terry and company were given a No. 7 seed.
The No. 7 designation is a surprising one, but one that Terry’s squad certainly isn’t arguing against. The Longhorns are slated to play the winner of a No. 10 seed play-in game between Virginia and Colorado State.
The storylines abound for Texas players and coaches as we enter the first weekend. Virginia transfer Kadin Shedrick could face his former team should the Cavaliers win their first game.
Former Longhorns head coach Rick Barnes’ Tennessee Volunteers are the No. 2 seed in the same bracket as Texas. A potential reunion with Barnes is set to take place in the round of 32 should both teams advance out of their first matchup with a win.
Texas will await the results of the game between Virginia and Colorado State before taking the court. It will look to make a surprise run after reaching the Elite Eight last season.
