AUSTIN, Texas — Graduate guard Marcus Carr posted a season-best 19 points to pace No. 2/2 Texas (6-0) to a 72-67 victory against No. 7/7 Creighton (6-2) on Thursday evening in front of another sellout crowd at Moody Center as part of the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle. The Longhorns posted their first home win in an AP Top 10 matchup since No. 2 Texas claimed a 79-68 victory over No. 9 Michigan State on Dec. 22, 2009.
This marked UT's second win against an AP Top 10 opponent in its first six contests this season.
