The Texas Longhorns Escape with an Ugly Win
Oh boy. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't easy or safe, but the Longhorns came up with a win against Tennessee State when Matt Coleman hit a floater with nine seconds remaining to give the Longhorns a 47-46 victory. It might have been the only literal floater the Longhorns hit, but the whole game was at least a metaphorical one, as the Longhorns did not exactly play their best basketball. Dylan Osetkowski led all scorers with 16 points, while Christian Mekowulu paced the Tiger with 15 points in the loss.
