****SEC Basketball Tournament - Game Thread*****

[HornSports Staff]

#13 Texas kicks off SEC Tournament play against the #12 Vanderbilt Commodores at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday. While the doors to a berth in the upcoming NCAA Tournament are seemingly closed for Rodney Terry's team, a deep run in the conference tournament could get them in.

Should they defeat the Commodores, a team they have already lost to in Nashville this season, they would face Texas A&M on Thursday in the Second Round. A win over the Aggies (who they split games with during the regular season), would set up a matchup with Rick Barnes and Tennessee.

March Madness sure is a lot better with the Longhorns playing in it, but right now it is a long shot for them to go dancing.

SEC Network will carry all first and second round games.

63-45 with 8:12 left, Texas leading.

Refs are calling a friggin foul every single time Vandy drives to the basket. Some of it, ok. But some of the fouls are minimum contact.

Johnson has his shot back, thankfully.

Vandy is 2 for 15 from tthree point range

Of course when I turn on the game Texas is starting to struggle. Down to 7 point lead.

I would say they have to beat aggy and the Tenn to maybe squeak In to the bracket.
