KRYSTEN PEEK: Abilene Christian won its first ever NCAA Tournament game, upsetting the Big 12 champs Texas Longhorns. This was a battle of Texas in the first round. The number 14 seed Wildcats shocked number three Texas 53-52, becoming the only 14 seed to advance in the tournament this year. It was a wild finish with the Wildcats only up by two points with 30 seconds left.

Texas came down the court and junior guard Andrew Jones nailed a three pointer to go up by one point. The Wildcats struggled to get a shot off in the closing seconds, but it was forward Joe Pleasant who was fouled after grabbing the offensive rebound and sent to the line for two free throws with 1.2 seconds left. He hit them both, after only shooting 59% from the line this year.

This adds to the wild first round we've had with five huge upsets heading into the next round. I'm Krysten Peek and for continual coverage on the NCAA Tournament, keep it right here on Yahoo Sports.
