AUSTIN, Texas — Junior guard Jordan Pope posted a game-high 21 points, but Texas (17-14, 6-12 SEC) dropped a hard-fought 76-72 decision against Oklahoma (19-12, 6-12 SEC) in Moody Center on Saturday night. The Longhorns had won eight straight and nine of the last 10 meetings against the Sooners entering the contest.
The defeat spoiled UT's Senior Night, as the program honored a group of seven senior players in Cole Bott, Arthur Kaluma, Jayson Kent, Julian Larry, Tramon Mark, Ze'Rik Onyema and Kadin Shedrick in a brief pre-game ceremony.
