AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas coach Rodney Terry apologized Saturday after his team beat No. 9 Baylor for how he reacted earlier in the week when he saw some Central Florida players do a "horns down" hand sign in the moments after the Knights beat the Longhorns on their home court.

Terry had called the actions by UCF players "classless" and confronted several of them in the postgame line for handshakes. The "horns down" hand sign has long been used by Texas rivals, and Terry's comments were widely criticized across social media.
