When Abilene Christian head coach Joe Golding drew up a game plan to knock off Texas, he likely didn't envision his team shooting 29.9% from the field.
But the Wildcats turned up the pressure on the defensive end and dominated on the offensive glass to stun No. 3 Texas, 53-52, capping the first round of the men's tournament on a wild note.
Abilene Christian forward Joe Pleasant drained two free throws with 1.2 seconds left to give the Wildcats their first NCAA men's basketball tournament win in program history. Pleasant's clutch free throws came seconds after Texas took the lead on a 3-pointer from Andrew Jones.
