The Longhorns will face Tennessee in the Round of 32.
Texas men's basketball teamThe Longhorns advanced to the second round after a 56-44 win over Colorado State Thursday night. Max Abmas and Dylan Disu led the team in scoring with 12 points each.
Early on, the story of Thursday's game was undoubtedly the Longhorns' defense, which held the Rams in check from the opening tip. The Longhorn defense was so suffocating that it held Colorado State to an astonishing 11 points in the opening half, holding them to only an 18.3% conversion rate on their shots in the first half and just under 30% for the entire game.Texas Men's Basketball gets No.
However, the Rams found their offense and battled back in the second half, cutting the Longhorns lead all the way down to as few as five points with around six minutes left. But the veteran prowess of the Longhorns took over late, with Abmas and Disu converting on a number of critical shots to vault the Longhorns into the Round of 32.
Next up, the Longhorns will face the winner of the game between the No. seed 2 Tennessee and No. 15 seed Saint Peter's, which will take place Thursday night at around 8:30. Tennessee is overwhelmingly favored to win that matchup, but Saint Peter's has shocked the college basketball world before, namely in 2022 when they reached the Elite 8, also as a No. 15 seed.
