TULSA, Okla. -- The tip-off time for Texas' NCAA Second Round contest on Friday, March 18 has been set for 11:15 a.m. Central, CBS television announced tonight. The Longhorns (27-7, 13-3 Big 12), the No. 4 seed in the West Region, will play No. 13 seed Oakland (25-9, 17-1 Summit League). UT's game on Friday will be played at the BOK Center and will be televised nationally by CBS.
Should Texas advance to the Third Round, tip time for that contest on Sunday, March 20 has not been determined. Texas would face the winner of Friday's Arizona-Memphis game.
This marks the 13th consecutive and 29th overall appearance by the Longhorns in the NCAA Tournament. UT is one of just six schools to have advanced to each of the last 13 NCAA Tournaments (1999-2011). Joining the Longhorns in this elite group are Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Michigan State and Wisconsin.
