Despite shooting 2-16 for about a 7-minute stretch encompassing the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, the Texas Longhorns were only down by eight to the 6th-ranked West Virginia squad in Morgantown, 45-37. Texas had managed to overcome unforced errors and a complete inability to hit decent looks from three to keep within striking distance of one of the favorites to win the Big 12.
Then West Virginia hit another gear, and it was over. The Mountaineers hit 8-11 threes and left Texas in the dust. It didn’t matter if the three was on the line of four feet back, whether Texas was up tight on them or four feet away, the WVU guards were all throwing rocks into the ocean.
