The Texas Longhorns are out of the Big 12 Tournament after one game following a 78-74 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats on Wednesday at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City after getting out-scored by 14 points in an ugly second half that featured 15 fouls called on the Longhorns and 20 free-throw attempts by the Wildcats.
The excessive whistles, including a questionable flagrant foul call on Texas sophomore guard Chendall Weaver with 21 seconds left that produced a four-point possession by Kansas State, weren’t the only thing ugly about the second half — the Longhorns shot 29 percent in the second half and missed numerous open threes.
