The win marks Texas' third consecutive victory in the NCAA opening round matchups.

Texas capitalized on Colorado State's 18 turnovers, outscoring them 15-0 in points off turnovers. The Longhorns' defense was notable, holding their opponent to under 50 points for the second time this season. Texas is set to play either Tennessee or Saint Peter's next, with a Sweet Sixteen berth on the line.

Disu and Abmas 20 on 9-for-30 shooting, 1-for-11 from deep. The one belongs to Abmas at the first-half horn. https://t.co/Z2iWCRKdoN
Money time. Texas 46, Colorado State 38, with Dylan Disu going to the line out of the under-4 to complete the 3-point play. Grinding to the finish line here in Charlotte.
Texas has 12 turnovers in this game. Colorado State has yet to score off a turnover.
Disu and Abmas, their only reliable offensive players this season, are a combined 6 for 24 https://t.co/ZQHZxWzcAD
Colorado State, which has had a week of travel that even NBA teams would grimace at, has missed short a lot in this second half. Playing better to fight back, but gonna need to make a few more jumpers to make a sustained push.
