Bricking From the Corner: Texas 75, Oklahoma 72
Earlier this week I went through Texas’ record against Big 12 opponents since Shaka Smart arrived on campus. Some of the records are about what you’d expect for a program that hasn’t breached the top 2-3 spots; 0-7 vs Kansas, 4-4 vs West Virginia, to name a couple. One that stood out to me: 4-2 vs. Oklahoma; well, make that 5-2. Smart has largely had Lon Kruger’s number since arriving on the 40 Acres and tonight is another notch in the belt for Texas as the Longhorns win 75-72 in Austin. Texas snaps a three-game skid and returns to .500 in conference play at 3-3, right in the thick of things 1⁄3 of the way through the conference schedule.
