EL PASO, Texas -- Texas Longhorns guard Kerwin Roach kicked off his senior season the best way he knew how.
Suspended for the Longhorns' season opener against Eastern Illinois on Tuesday, Roach scored a team-high 18 points and hit a three-pointer with one second to play in regulation to force overtime in a 73-71 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks on Friday night in the Armed Forces Classic.
Arkansas led 63-60 following a Daniel Gafford free throw with nine seconds remaining and Roach hit deep three-pointer in front of the Texas bench. Razorbacks Coach Mike Anderson said there were no defensive breakdowns that allowed the Longhorns guard to get the shot off.
