Following the felony arrest of head coach Chris Beard, the No. 7 Texas Longhorns took the court at the Moody Center on Monday evening in a matchup against the Rice Owls with associate head coach Rodney Terry serving as the acting head coach.
The Longhorns got off to something of a sluggish start considering the 22.5-point spread, according to DraftKings, as the Owls scored on their first three possessions and led 9-4 after a made three by guard Quincy Olivari. Texas guard Marcus Carr made a three to send the Horns into the under-16 timeout down 9-7 with both teams turning the ball over twice.
