Texas men's basketball might have played its best game yet.

The 11th-seeded Longhorns dominated the sixth-seeded BYU Cougars in a first-round NCAA Tournament game Thursday in Oklahoma City. Matas Vokietaitis 23 points and 16 rebounds point as Texas led by double digits for much of the second half. A.J. Dybantsa was sensational. The likely one-and-done freshman had 35 points on 11-for-25 shooting and making all 12 of his free throws. But only one other Cougar scored 10 or more.

When asked at halftime how Texas could slow down the 6-foot-9 do-it-all forward, Miller simply said "I don't think we can." Dybantsa had 14 points by the break, but Texas still held an nine-point lead. Four Longhorns broke double figures in scoring, including Tramon Mark and his 19 points.

Next up is either No. 14 Kennesaw State or No. 3 Gonzaga. Here are some reactions from the upset:

Just madness.
