Texas Longhorns: March Madness Cinderella?

0:00On March 22nd, Texas Longhorns have turned heads in this year's NCAA tournament as the 11th seed still standing. They kick things off with a first-four victory over NC State, then handled BYU, and stunned third-seated Gonzaga on Saturday night. Now they're the only double-digit seed left in the field. Their regular season was shaky at 18 wins and 13 losses, with a 9-9 record in SEC play. They got bounced early from the conference tournament, but still grabbed an at-large bid as one of the last teams in. Social media is buzzing with talk of whether this is a true Cinderella run. Fans love the underdog vibe, but some point out BYU was hit hard by injuries, making those wins a bit less surprising. Next up, the Longhorns faced the winner of tomorrow's match-up between Purdue and Miami of Florida. ESPN analyst Jay Beelis nailed their path in his preseason picks. It's a tough battle ahead, but Texas has already proven they can hang with the big names in March Madness.
