Texas Survives First Four on Tramon Mark’s Winner as Miller Berates Assistant Over Near-Technical

Officials recognized an immediate NC State timeout, preventing a technical on Texas’ premature bench entry.

Overview

  • Tramon Mark hit a jumper with about a second left to give Texas a 68-66 win over NC State in the NCAA First Four at UD Arena.
  • Assistant coach Ryan Anderson ran onto the court to celebrate before the game ended, prompting an on-court shouting from head coach Sean Miller.
  • No technical foul was issued because NC State had called timeout and the officials recognized it, which rendered the ball dead under the rules.
  • Miller said Texas won because of its defense, limiting NC State to 6-for-16 from three and 17 points below its season scoring average.
  • Texas advances to face No. 6 BYU on Thursday in Portland, with the Cougars led by likely NBA lottery pick AJ Dybantsa; tip is set for 7:25 p.m. ET.
