Texas 69, Oklahoma 58

Tuesday evening in Norman, the Texas Longhorns defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 69-58. It's the 4th win in a row for the Longhorns who improved their Big12 Conference record to 7-6 and their overall record to 17-9. J'Covan Brown scored 19 points, including 15 in the 2nd half, to lead Texas back from a 5-point halftime deficit. Freshmen Myck Kabongo and Sheldon McClellan scored 13 points a piece and for the 2nd game in a row, the Longhorns vastly outscored their opponent from the free throw line. As Oklahoma only went 5-8 from the charity stripe, Texas hit on 24 of 29 free throws. The Longhorns offense has been exhibiting a renewed aggressiveness to go along with the team's well established prowess at rebounding and defense. Coach Rick Barnes deserves much credit for righting the ship as of late, making the necessary adjustments to finish games strong enough to secure victories. Texas next plays at Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon the 18th.
