In years past, contests between the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners have been quite entertaining on the hardwood. Tonight’s game on the other hand, not so much. One team came ready to play and executed a winning gameplan, while the other lacked rhythm and intensity.
Texas started the game as the aggressor on offense and jumped out to a comfortable 29-20 lead (UT’s largest of the game) with 7:17 remaining. From that point on, the Longhorns shot 1-for-10 from the field and limped into the locker room down 34-33 at halftime. A lot of unnecessary fouls and poor ball movement offensively prevented them from keeping that comfortable lead.
