AUSTIN, Texas — Head coach Rodney Terry and the No. 20 Texas Longhorns got off to a poor start to conference play in the program’s final season in the Big 12, falling to the Texas Tech Red Raiders 78-67 on Saturday at the Moody Center, only the second home loss for the Longhorns since the arena opened last season.
Playing under the cloud of the civil lawsuit filed against star guard Pop Isaacs, Texas Tech played like a team relieved to be on the basketball court with Isaacs scoring a game-high 21 points as the Red Raiders shot 52.
