Postgame Notes

Thomas Dziagwa had a career day as the Longhorns and Cowboys met for the 95^th time in history today. It was the second time the two teams have met this season. The Longhorns lead the overall series 51-44, despite Oklahoma State taking the Jan. 8 meeting in Stillwater. Texas has won the last four meetings in Austin after its win today.
The Longhorns went on a 10-0 run over a 2:22 stretch in the first half before Cameron McGriff knocked down a 3-pointer with 10:48 left for his first points of the game. The Texas lead got as large as 11 points when it closed the first half on an 11-3 run.
OSU went on a 9-0 run early in the second half to cut the Texas lead down to as few as four points. That run was fueled by two Thomas Dziagwa 3-pointers. However, Texas would respond with a 7-0 run of its own to get the lead back up to double-digits. From that Longhorn run onward, the lead never got lower than seven points for Texas.
