One final No. 11 seed is up for grabs in the last of the First Four games of the NCAA Tournament tonight.
The Texas Longhorns and the Xavier Musketeers are the two last teams standing on the eve of the Round of 64; by the end of the night, one will have punched their ticket to the next round and the other will have their season ended.
Despite a 6-12 record in-conference (19-15 overall), the Longhorns were part of the history-making 14 teams from the SEC to make it into this year’s tournament.
Xavier fell to Marquette early in the Big East Tournament but was still able to sneak into the initial 68-team field for this year’s March Madness.
Illinois will be waiting for the winner of tonight’s game in the Round of 64 on Friday. Here’s what you need to know ahead of Texas vs. Xavier.
