Texas graduate transfer Sir’Jabari Rice was pivotal down the stretch during the...
Heading into Saturday’s Big 12 opener against Oklahoma, Texas hadn’t dropped a game with acting head coach Rodney Terry suddenly shepherding a team that fancies itself a national championship contender.
Rice, fifth-year guard Marcus Carr and fifth-year forward Timmy Allen turned it on in winning time, willing the Longhorns to a 70-69 triumph over archrival Oklahoma on New Year’s Eve. Texas scored its points it little spurs rather than a steady stream. Its transition opportunities were often cut off. Its treks to the rim were often rebuffed on the perimeter or thwarted by a tangle of bodies in the paint. A couple of its first-half possessions ended not with a shot but with a shot-clock violation.
“They had a one-man wrecking crew going there for a while,” Terry said of Sherfield. “You know, we always try to say we don’t want the best player to beat us. We needed to really make a conscious effort to have a really good team guard on him as well as an individual guard. And I thought our guys buckled down and did that.”
