Tennessee Analysis: Won comfortably to advance

Jonas Aidoo produced 15 points and 6 boards, while Dalton Knecht finished with 23 points as well as 8 boards.

Texas Analysis: Outstanding last time around on the defensive end
Texas wasn’t going to allow Colorado State, or any other Mountain West team, establish a reputation for itself or its conference. Throughout the whole game, Texas limited Colorado State only to 44 points, including just 11 throughout the first half. In a game where the total was set at 144 points, the two teams combined for only 100 points. Texas, who shot just one of their fourteen three-point attempts and went frigid from deep, needed that kind of defensive effort. Dylan Disu as well as Max Abmas topped the Longhorns with 12 points apiece in the victory. Dylan Disu was named to the Big 12 First Team and won the conference’s Most Improved Player award.
