Texas Basketball is officially the bracket busters of the West Region. Just two days after surviving a nail-biter in the First Four, Texas walked into the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, and sent the No. 6 seed BYU Basketball packing with a 79-71 victory on Thursday night.

For 40 minutes, it looked like AJ Dybantsa might single-handedly carry BYU into the second round. The projected No. 1 overall pick was every bit as advertised, finishing with a massive double-double of 35 points and 10 rebounds. Dybantsa played every single second of the contest, raining down jumpers and attacking the rim with a ferocity that kept the Cougars within striking distance until the final horn.
