0:00On March 18, in a thrilling first four match-up in Dayton, Ohio, 11-C Texas edged out NC State 68-66. The Long Horns, who had lost five of their last six games, snapped their skid with a buzzer-beating mid-range jumper from Tramon Mark, with just one. 0.1 seconds left after the score was tied at 66. Texas jumped out strong, hitting three of their first three shots from beyond the arc and leading by as many as 10 early on.
