Texas stunner: No. 14 Abilene Christian ousts 'Horns 53-52
In the most pressure-packed moment of his college career for Abilene Christian, Pleasant's two free throws were perfect from a spot where he'd struggled in the past. Another double-digit seed is moving on in the NCAA Tournament, and this one at the expense of the flagship school in Abilene Christian's home state. Abilene Christian was blown out by Kentucky two years ago when it made its first trip to the NCAA Tournament. Jones hit two free throws with 56 seconds left and his 3-pointer with 14 seconds remaining put the Longhorns in front 52-51. Really disappointed, everybody is.โTexas was rolling coming into the NCAA Tournament after winning the Big 12 Tournament for the first time in school history.
