Oklahoma State 90, Texas 78

Saturday afternoon in Stillwater, the Texas Longhorns were defeated by the Oklahoma State Cowboys 90-78. Cowboys guard Keiton Page completely owned the Longhorns, scoring 40 points on the game, including hitting on all 20 of his 20 free throw attempts. The Texas defense had an infrequent off performance overall, allowing Oklahoma State to shoot 51% from the field to go along with being out-rebounded, out-blocked, and out-stolen. Longhorn point guard Myck Kabongo led Texas with 22 points on 8-12 shooting, inlcuding 3-4 from the 3-point line. J'Covan Brown and Sheldon McClellan added 20 points and 15 points respectively. Meanwhile Longhorn bigs Clint Chapman, Alexis Wangmene, and Jonathan Holmes each found themselves in foul trouble, with Chapman and Holmes ultimately fouling out before all was said and done. Texas really could have used a road win here in order to better its chances of being selected for the NCAA Tournament. But considering a prior 4-game win streak, it would have been greedy to expect the Longhorns to have won such a tough match-up in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Next up for Texas is a Monday night game at home against #14th-ranked Baylor.
