NCAA tournament preview: Texas-Nevada Q&A with Mountain West Connection

On Friday evening, the 10-seeded Texas Longhorns will square off with the 7-seeded Nevada Wolf Pack as part of their second NCAA tournament appearance under Shaka Smart.

The first time around, Texas suffered an early exit courtesy of a Northern Iowa buzzer-beater, and in hopes of notching the first tournament win of the Smart era, the ‘Horns will have to do so against an experienced and versatile Wolf Pack squad.

To help provide further perspective on the Longhorns upcoming opponent, The_Coach, the Site Manager at Building The Dam and a basketball contributor for Mountain West Connection, joined Burnt Orange Nation to discuss all things Nevada.
