NCAA Tournament Update: Texas Holding Off Oakland In West Region
The Golden Grizzlies are playing well, but are having a tough time preventing the Horns from getting good looks. Texas is shooting almost 60 percent from the floor. If Oakland can get their three-pointers to fall -- they’ve taken 12 to Texas’ three -- they can start to make up ground, but this one was starting to slip away from them late in the first half.
For more on this game, Texas fans should visit Burnt Orange Nation and SB Nation Dallas, and Oakland fans should head to Mid Major Madness.
