With 3:35 left in an NCAA Tournament game at Moody Center on Saturday night, Texas forward Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda made a jumper.
That basket gave Texas a 101-56 lead over William & Mary, and it served as a historical footnote. For just the second time in school history, UT had scored 100 points in an NCAA Tournament game. Texas, by the way, has now played 87 games over its 37 NCAA Tournament appearances.
