The Longhorns will get to enjoy a unique opportunity that we don’t see in the NCAA Tournament very often: They get to play their NCAA regional in the same building where they just won the Big XII Tournament two weeks ago.

Texas earned a quality win over Penn State, despite shooting poorly going just 1-for-13 from three-point range. If you can beat quality opponents by going 1-for-13 from three-point range, that’s the kind of team we want to back in March.
