Texas Beat TCU After Andrew Jones Diagnosed With Leukemia
Texas beat TCU 99-98 in double overtime just hours after announcing guard Andrew Jones was diagnosed with leukemia.

"Our guys really wanted to win for Andrew. He's the one that's been on our minds and in our hearts and I'm really proud of the way they fought. I hope Drew's listening right now. I hope he knows we love him," Texas head coach Shaka Smart said.
