What time is Texas vs. Xavier? Men's March Madness First Four game details, where to watch
And then there was one.
The Texas Longhorns and Xavier Musketeers are the last teams left standing in the First Four, with three tickets to the Round of 64 of the NCAA tournament already punched. With just one spot remaining, Wednesday night has heartbreak and jubilation on the menu for these two schools.
Which dish they're served, however, remains a mystery.
The SEC logo looks good on the Longhorns, who are part of the 14 teams to receive an NCAA Tournament bid from the conference. Texas' selection is a bit of a controversial one, considering their 6-12 record in conference and 19-15 overall tally. They won't apologize for their inclusion but rather look to prove the committee's decision to be the right one with a win over Xavier.
As for the Musketeers, they are riding high heading into Dayton. They rattled off seven straight wins before falling to Marquette in the Big East tournament. With other conferences staving off those pesky bid-stealers, Xavier snuck into the Field of 68.
The Illinois Fighting Illini await the winner in the Round of 64. Here's what to know as Texas takes on Xavier for the final spot in the Big Dance's first round.
