Nothing came easy for Lon Kruger’s Sooners on Tuesday night in Austin against fifth-ranked Texas.
Their last basket came on an Austin Reaves drive in which the whistle blew and everyone in charcoal -- yes, the Sooners wore charcoal jerseys -- held their breath before the referee signaled a block, resulting in a 3-point play.
Their penultimate basket came after a pass into the post was deflected, and two Longhorns and three Sooners fought for the loose ball like a football scrum after a fumble, and FIVE seconds passed before Elijah Harkless grabbed it and from his butt flipped it to De’Vion Harmon for a layup.
