Win or lose, there is only one game remaining this season for the 2018-2019 Texas Longhorns. So I guess they might as well try to win it. And if they do, they get an NIT championship.
The opponent is the Lipscomb Bisons. A season ago, I spent some time expressing my frustration over Lipscomb’s mascot name, so I am not rehashing that here, although I admit that typing “Bisons” over and over is going to be a bit of a challenge.
The Bisons had a nice season. They finished tied for first with a 14-2 record in the Atlantic Sun Conference before losing to Liberty in the conference tournament.
