AUSTIN – The battle for at least one more basketball game in the National Invitation Tournament begins at 4 p.m. (ESPN) Sunday at the Erwin Center as No. 2 Texas hosts No. 3 Xavier.
The winner will get to host the winner of No. 8 Norfolk State and No. 4 Colorado this week in a quarterfinal game.
Texas 8, Xavier 7, 15:28 first half – Quentin Goodin has two early fouls and the Musketeers have been pretty sloppy with three turnovers, all coming on lazy passes that Texas picked off easily.
