A late surge was just a little too late.
On the road on Saturday against the Oklahoma Sooners, the Texas Longhorns were without their leading scorer, Kerwin Roach II, and that was apparent, especially throughout the first half as Shaka Smart’s squad dug itself into too deep of a hole, falling to Oklahoma on the final possession, 69-67.
It took a tale of two halves for Texas to even put itself in position to capture a last-second win over Oklahoma, though that potential buzzer-beating three from Matt Coleman was blocked by Jamal Bieniemy; just his fourth block of the season.
