Only 6.5? I thought this line would've been a little bit more, around the 9 or 10 mark. I'll take Texas

Texas smashes them.

They be my runner up!

 

[LitlBuck]

I like Texas in this game plus Barnes likes to run up and down. High-scoring affair by Texas.

After reviving Miami, Haith faces his mentor in Texas' Barnes in NCAA second round - NCAA Basketball - Yahoo! Sports

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)—After three years as an assistant at Texas, Frank Haith left in 2004 to become the head coach at Miami.

Yes, Miami—where basketball seemed to exist solely for balance, opposite the school’s storied football program.

“There was no question that Frank was ready to be a head coach,” Longhorns coach Rick Barnes said Saturday. “I think you look at where the Miami program has come from … Frank has done just an unbelievable job.”

Barnes and Haith will become opponents for a couple of hours Sunday, when second-seeded Texas faces seventh-seeded Miami in the second round of the South Regional. It’s a matchup neither coach really wanted—but the only way to avoid it was with a first-round loss.

I'm on a roll...

Looks like I'm the only one who gets paid on this one.

Damn Horns. Up 8 with a minute to go and can't close for us.

Congrats Buckyle

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- After 75 minutes of smooth shooting and poised ball-handling, Texas nearly let victory slip away. A.J. Abrams made two free throws with 9.5 seconds remaining, giving the second-seeded Longhorns just enough margin to hold off the seventh-seeded University of Miami 75-72 yesterday in the second-round of the NCAA Tournament South Regional. Texas led by as many as 17 and was ahead 66-50 with 4:15 remaining before a dramatic rally by Miami.
