Shooting woes plague Texas in last-second loss to Radford

Burn the tape.

On an evening that was almost entirely forgettable, the Texas Longhorns suffered through one of the more disappointed showings of the Shaka Smart era, struggling to find points throughout in a 62-59 loss to the Radford Highlanders.

The Longhorns did have opportunities to swing things in their favor, however, especially late.

After owning an early 24-12 lead, Texas could hardly buy a bucket going forward as Radford chipped away at the Longhorns lead, and eventually captured it, 26-25, with just under six minutes remaining in the first half. The Longhorns did regain the lead moments later and entered intermission with a 34-33 edge, but the shooting woes that plagued Texas in the first half — 3-of-11 from three and 5-of-10 from the free throw line — continued coming out of the break.
