Fresh off of a disappointing first-round loss at the hands of Baylor in the Big 12 Championship, the Longhorns are eager for redemption heading into the NCAA Tournament.
With a few minutes remaining in the second half and holding a 1-0 lead, the Longhorns were on the cusp of sealing a victory over Baylor in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
In the season finale for this year’s storybook run by a young Texas team, it would be preferable to ease into the postseason with an opponent on the lower end of the Big 12 standings.
Overtime stayed kind to the Longhorns (13–1–2, 5–1–2 Big 12), as Friday night’s 1-0 victory over Baylor marked their fifth win in seven post-regulation games this season.
