The second-round matchup for the No. 7 seed Texas Longhorns is set with the No. 2 seed Tennessee Volunteers dominating the St. Peter’s Peacocks in an 83-49 win on Thursday in Charlotte. Facing off against former head coach Rick Barnes, the Longhorns are six-point underdogs against the Volunteers, according to DraftKings.*
Texas head coach Rodney Terry and his team advanced earlier on Thursday after taking a 16-point halftime lead and holding off No. 10 seed Colorado State in the second half despite inefficient performances from senior guard Max Abmas and senior forward Dylan Disu, who scored 12 points apiece on combined 10-of-33 shooting, including 1-of-14 shooting from beyond the arc.
