Texas and Virginia Tech are in a back and forth affair midway through their first round matchup in the NCAA tournament.
Andrew Jones has played one of the best halves of basketball in his career. He has 17 of Texas’ 34 points, hitting five shots from behind the arch.
The highlight of the first half came on the very last play. After Virginia Tech took a 32-31 lead with only a couple of seconds left, Marcus Carr hit a near full-court shot to give Texas the halftime lead.

Texas will hope to use the momentum of the buzzer-beater in the second half. If the Horns hold on to win, it will be their first March Madness victory since 2014. Timmy Allen will need to step up after going 1-7 from the field in the first half.
