A young lineup consisting of mostly freshmen, sophomores and a few seniors could give an already successful team an extra boost.

Texas was in perfect position. Up 21-20 in the third set against BYU, the fifth-seeded Longhorns were set up to get right back in the game after dropping the first two sets. But that’s where it all fell apart.

For the 13th straight year, Texas has made the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. In order to extend this impressive streak, the team will need to get past the Michigan Wolverines on Friday.

With the fifth-overall seed in the tournament, the Longhorns were just a spot shy of hosting their region of the tournament leading up to the Final Four. Instead, they’ll host the first two rounds with Texas having just faced one of the other three teams coming to Austin.
