The Texas Longhorns first NCAA Tournament under first-year head coach David Pierce gets underway this evening and there’s plenty to be excited about.
Following a 12-win improvement over last season’s mark to 37-22 (11-12), the 2-seeded ‘Horns are set to face 3-seeded UCLA on Friday to kick off the Long Beach regional.
Texas swept the Bruins earlier this season and have a chance to continue that dominance in just a few short hours. If you’re not already excited enough, throw this hype video on loop to help get you there.
