Texas holds off Oklahoma rally for 77-73 win
The winless streak to open SEC play is over for the Texas Longhorns but continues for the Oklahoma Sooners as head coach Rodney Terry’s team led by as many as 23 points in Wednesday’s 77-73 victory at the Lloyd Noble Center before holding off a late rally attempt by the Sooners.
The eighth straight victory in the Red River Rivalry for the Horns is also the sixth straight in Norman and was led by a team-high 26 points by Texas junior guard Jordan Pope, who scored 19 points in the second half, including 13 straight points to hold off the furious rally by Oklahoma.
