On the night of Jan. 26, the result desired was not what was delivered for the acting head coach (and former SMU Mustangs assistant) KT Turner and No. 5 ranked Texas basketball at home at the Frank Erwin Center. Texas got to face the No. 24 ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry game on the hardwood earlier this week, but they didn’t get to extend their winning streak to two games.
The Longhorns head coach Shaka Smart missed the Oklahoma game due to a positive novel coronavirus test, which he announced on his Twitter timeline the day before tip off.
