With its season on the line, No. 2 seed Texas didn't buckle. Thanks to interim coach Rodney Terry and a group of unflinching veterans, the Longhorns are Sweet Sixteen-bound for the first time since 2008.
DES MOINES, IOWA - MARCH 18: Head coach Rodney Terry of the Texas Longhorns reacts late in the second half against the Penn State Nittany Lions in the second round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Wells Fargo Arena on March 18, 2023 in Des Moines, Iowa.AUSTIN — Nothing profound was said during that 30-second timeout.
And over the final 4:42 of game time following that huddle, that smile turned into a snarl as second-seeded Texas beat back 10th-seeded Penn State on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Arena to secure the program’s biggest win in 15 long years, 71-66. Yet another successful rally advanced the Longhorns to their first Sweet Sixteen since 2008. They’ll face third-seeded Xavier on Friday in Kansas City, Mo.
And, of course, they had Terry at their backs. Allen said the youthful 54-year-old has a way of keeping everyone loose, even in the pressure cooker that is the NCAA tournament.
