No. 6 Texas took down No. 11 Virginia Tech in the first round of the NCAA tournament behind a valiant second-half performance.
Each Texas starter finished the game in double digits leading Texas to its first March Madness victory in eight years.
The win sets the Longhorns up with a round of 32 matchup against No. 3 seeded Purdue. The Boilermakers are led by the dangerous duo of Jaden Ivey and Zach Edey. The two combined for 38 points in Purdue’s dismantling of Yale in the first round.
Courtney Ramey will likely be tasked to slow down Ivey while it will take a strong effort from the entire Texas frontcourt to keep Edey in check.
Here is how to tune in as the Longhorns and Boilermakers play for a spot in the Sweet 16 on Sunday.
