The team’s most experienced player quickly admitted his mistake.
In the aftermath of yet another close loss for the Texas Longhorns against the Kansas Jayhawks on Big Monday in Lawrence, 80-78, the 31st game decided by three points or less under head coach Shaka Smart, senior guard Kerwin Roach II was honest about his failure to execute Smart’s final play at Phog Allen Fieldhouse.
With sophomore guard Jase Febres having hit three straight attempts from beyond the arc to catapult Texas back into position to win the game, Smart called for Febres to set a slip screen for sophomore point guard Matt Coleman.
