Texas knocked down a high percentage of its shots, but even when the defense was clicking, it gave the No. 10 Longhorns too many second-chance opportunities. While the Cowboys scored their highest point total in five weeks, the defense gave up a season-high mark in an 89-75 loss in Austin on Tuesday night.
“Eighty-nine points, you know, that's just something we don't do,” guard Woody Newton said on the postgame radio show. “We always say we’re a defensive team, and we can't go on the road and allow a team score 89 points in their crib.”
Just two weeks removed from a 56-point outing against the Cowboys, Texas (17-3, 6-2) turned its offense around.
