Longhorns
upset Hogs
in SWC play
AUSTIN (AP) — Sophomore
guard Travis Mays scored 25 points
and pulled down 13 rebounds to
lead Texas to a 79-72 upset win over
Arkansas in Southwest Conference
action Saturday.
The SWC-leading Razorbacks
came into the game on a four-game
win streak, but dropped to 16-4 and
7-2.
Texas improved to 11-10 and 5-4,
winning four out of its last five
games.
Playing before its largest home
crowd of the season at 6,095, Texas
led by 11 four different times in the
first half and took a 45-38 lead into
the locker room at halftime.
The Razorbacks pulled within one
twice in the second half, the last time
with 12:03 left, but couldn’t even the
score.
The Longhorns held off Arkansas
the rest of the way and led by as
many as 12 with 53 seconds left to
play.
Texas hit 32 of 42 at the free
throw line, while the Razorbacks
made only 8-of-17 and were 0-of-5
in the second half.
