The Texas Longhorns basketball team dropped a close 74-72 game against #10 West Virginia Saturday afternoon in Austin.
It was the type of frustrating loss that has defined the Longhorns’ season thus far. They’re one play, one possession, one call, one rebound away from a winning record in the Big 12.
Part of the frustration is Texas seems like a good team during Shaka Smart’s rebuilding year. Most notably, the guards survived West Virginia’s trademark press defense, not giving away possessions against pressure.
What really did in Texas was giving away possessions on basic plays.
