Andrew Jones is no stranger to big moments.

The sophomore came up huge in the clutch against Oklahoma in January, draining a triple from way downtown to seal a comeback victory against the Sooners.

Jones came up big again during the team's exhibition matchup against Australia's Cairns Taipans early Friday morning. The Irving native converted a crucial layup with under four seconds left to clinch a 71–69 Texas victory. The Longhorns are now 2–1 in their four-game exhibition trip down under.

Texas enjoyed a big night from junior transfer Dylan Osetkowski. The former Tulane forward chipped in 16 points, showing off the same polish he has throughout the team's trip.
