Following a tragic loss for the three-seed and Big 12 Champion Texas basketball and head coach Shaka Smart, the hot seat discussions are really ramping up. Texas entered their Round of 64 meeting with the 14-seed Abilene Christian Wildcats and head coach Joe Goulding as a sizable nine-point favorite.
Few thought that when Smart and the Longhorns went into the locker room at halftime with a lead of five points, and with momentum on their side, that they would not take advantage in the second half.
