The Lady Longhorns’ big stars, Brooke McCarty and Joyner Holmes, did their best work when it counted to make the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament.
The result was Texas winning 84-80 over North Carolina State in an epic tournament game.
Down the stretch, Texas led by one point with less than 30 seconds on the clock. After Texas turned the ball over a shot clock violation, the Wolf Pack had a chance to take the lead. But, Big 12 Freshman of the Year Joyner Holmes drew a charge on Dominique Wilson driving to the hoop.
