The Texas Longhorns Men’s Basketball staff is actually flawed, however after beating NC State 68-66 in the First Four matchup in Dayton, Ohio, UT is actually resilient. Texas’ press offense allow them to down late because the Longhorns blew a nine-point lead with lower than three minutes left. But Tramon Mark’s jumper with 1.1 seconds left within the recreation erased all of it.
Texas is now formally within the NCAA Tournament. The win over NC State, in what was once referred to as the play-in recreation, provides Texas the No. 11 seed within the West Region. UT will play No. 6 seed BYU in Portland, Oregon on Thursday.

Mark’s recreation winner was his fifth of the season, accounting for more than 1 / 4 of the Longhorns wins. UT wanted it. After getting up by nine-points late within the second half, the Wolfpack began a full courtroom press which Texas did not deal with nicely in any respect.
As NC State climbed again into the sport, it was Mark who stood tall, hitting two clutch jumpers within the ultimate minute.
