The NCAA Tournament is always full of surprising upsets and exciting finishes.
The Sweet 16 has been no exception thus far. No. 9 Florida Atlantic University upset No. 4 Tennessee 62-55 in a thriller on Thursday evening. On the same night, perhaps the game of the year took place between No. 2 Gonzaga and No. 3 UCLA. The game came down to the final seconds with the Bulldogs narrowly winning by three.
No. 2 Texas is hoping to add to the excitement against No. 3 Xavier on Friday night in Kansas City. The Longhorns have reached the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008 and they’ve done so under interim head coach Rodney Terry.
Fans, media and alumni are anxious for tip-off between the Longhorns and Musketeers. Here’s a look at the best pregame social media buzz ahead of the big matchup.
