The Texas basketball team’s once in a decade loss to Baylor was bad but apparently two Big 12 tournament wins were enough to get the Horns a 7 seed in the tough East bracket. The Longhorns will open the tournament against Minnesota on Thursday at 6:10pm.
The East may be the toughest region in the tourney. If Texas can get past Minnesota they’ll have to face Duke in the second round in what would be essentially a home game for the Blue Devils in Greensboro, North Carolina. If the Horns get by that tough test, it could actually set up a rematch with two top teams they beat earlier this season in 3-seed Villanova or UCLA.
We’ll have previews of Thursday’s game and the rest of the tourney so check back in on the 40 Acres all tourney long.
