AUSTIN, Texas -- Jeffrey Carroll scored a career-high 24 points for his fifth 20-point game of the season in Oklahoma State's 82-79 loss to Texas on Wednesday night at the Frank Erwin Center.

Jawun Evans scored 19 points for the Cowboys, and Phil Forte, III, added nine.

Texas' Tevin Mack lead the Longhorns with 27 points. Eric Davis Jr. scored 16 points for Texas -- 14 in the second half. Kerwin Roach Jr. added 11.

Mack, a sophomore, scored eight points during a 15-0 push that gave Texas a 61-50 lead with 11:32 remaining in the game.

But Evans brought Oklahoma State back with a 3-pointer and three free throws, leaving the Cowboys trailing by only four.

Oklahoma State led 39-37 at halftime despite outshooting Texas 46.9 to 35.7 percent. Texas compensated for its poor accuracy from the field by taking advantage of Oklahoma State's foul difficulty. The Cowboys were called for 14 fouls in the half, and Texas capitalized.

First-year coach Brad Underwood's Cowboys fell to 2-2 on the road. The loss to the Longhorns snapped OSU's modest two-game road winning streak. The Cowboys had won at Tulsa and Wichita State in their last two road games, and are now 4-3 this year away from GIA.

Up Next:

The Cowboys will head up I-35 to Waco to face No. 2/3 Baylor on Saturday at 6 p.m. Central. The game at the Ferrell Center will appear on ESPNews and the Cowboy Radio Network.
