For the second time in as many seasons, the Texas Longhorns are taking a trip to the NCAA Tournament, this time as the No. 6 seed in the East region.
The Longhorns will match up with the 11th-seeded Virginia Tech Hokies.
Texas slipped a seed or even two from some late-season projections, when a four seed seemed to be a realistic potential placement for Texas in Chris Beard’s first season with the program. However, Texas struggled down the stretch, dropping each of their last three contests and four of their last six.
So, the Horns enter March with next to no momentum — that’s the bad news.
