Quick thoughts from No. 7 Texas’ 69-61 win over West Virginia

Related Topics: Texas, West Virginia

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns went into Morgantown and found a way to win ugly, outlasting the West Virginia Mountaineers, 69-61.

Here are a few quick thoughts from the win.

Marcus Carr went crazy... again. He had just two points throughout the first 19:58 of the game. But his jumper to end the first half apparently ignited him offensively, and after Texas struggled so mightily to score in the first half, he was a walking bucket for the Horns after the break. He rained in a couple threes, sank some big-time free throws down the stretch, and per usual, had his way from mid-range, including a running floater as the shot clock expired to essentially seal the win.
