Horns Beat Gophers 76-62 With Abrams Onslaught

The Texas Longhorns set up a second-round match against Duke with a 76-62 win over Minnesota in their NCAA opener, reports AP. AJ Abrams—whose 3-pointers were credited with getting the Longhorns to within a game of the Final Four last year—was as deadly as ever at long range, sinking eight 3-pointers, including a run of six straight treys that blew open a close game in the second half.
