For the first time since Kevin Durant was wearing No. 35 in burnt orange, the Texas Longhorns are headed back to the Sweet 16.
No. 2 Texas was able to escape with a second round victory over scrappy Penn State, thanks in large part to the play of senior forward Dylan Disu.
KD himself took notice. Tweeting, “See y’all in the 16. Gameball goes to Dylan Disu, looked like a young LaMarcus Aldridge out there. Let’s get it [Texas Men’s Basketball].”
