The post-season starts.... now. In what may prove to be a win-or-go-home game for this Longhorns team sitting right on the bubble, the high drama of March Madness is officially upon us. The teams split their two regular season meetings with each team winning on its home floor, and tonight they'll settle the score on a neutral floor in Kansas City.
For the first time ever, the Big 12 Tournament is meaningful to Texas. And by extension, to us. May the basketball gods be with us. Hook 'em!
