AUSTIN, Texas — A season-high 25 points from senior guard Marcus Carr, including 19 points in the second half, wasn’t enough for the No. 23 Texas Longhorns, who dropped to 3-3 in Big 12 play with a 66-65 loss at the Erwin Center on Tuesday in front of what Texas head coach Chris Beard called the season’s best home crowd.
Carr carried the Longhorns in the second half, at one point making six consecutive shots and his first five free throws, but was unable to come up with the game-winning basket, a contested jumper along the baseline just before time expired.
