The Texas Longhorns started slow, finished even slower, but completely dominated between those woes to build and mostly maintain a double-digit lead en route to a 60-47 Big 12 Tournament win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Here are a few quick thoughts from Texas’ quarterfinal win.
Texas won, but starting slow and finishing sloppy isn’t a recipe for success . It was some especially ugly offense from the Longhorns in the early going, with Texas suffering a stretch of more than seven minutes without a field goal. In the opening minutes, Texas just couldn’t find much of a flow or sync offensively, which was a bit to be expected with forward Timmy Allen sidelined with a leg injury (day-to-day).
