Texas opens as favorite over Colorado State after the Rams beat Virginia, 67-42

After two days of uncertainty, the first-round opponent for the No. 7 seed Texas Longhorns is set — head coach Rodney Terry’s team will face the No. 10 seed Colorado State Rams thanks to a 67-42 victory over the Virginia Cavaliers in Tuesday’s First Four matchup in Dayton.
