The No. 2 seed Texas Longhorns beat the No. 15 Colgate Raiders 81-61 riding the best three-point shooting game of the season. When the clock hit triple zeros, it was the largest margin of victory for Texas in the NCAA Tournament since a 2008 Sweet 16 win over Stanford 82-62. And the Longhorns did so without playing their best, or most complete game. In March Madness, it's truly is about surviving and advancing. And Texas will play in the Round of 32 for a second straight year.
