Arizona State is back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000 when they beat 11 seed Temple before they were eliminated by Syracuse in the next round. The Longhorns have been to the NCAA Tournament in Barnes’s first 14 years and they made it to the Final Four in 2003. Last season was a disaster for Texas, they went 16-18 and lost in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational. ''I am extremely happy in the fact that because a year ago I wasn't very happy because of the way we were at all. I knew we had to make changes.''
The Sun Devils have lost three games in a row and the Longhorns have lost five of eight. So both teams have been losing more than winning and this will be an interesting game.
Barnes spoke about the Sun Devil’s talented and speedy point guard Jahii Carson and said “I don't think one guy can stop him. Just like, he's too good a player. It's going to take a group effort.'' While Texas is finding ways to stop Carson, Arizona is cautious of forward Jonathan Holmes.
