After a pair of narrow defeats against two of the nation’s best squads, the Texas basketball team went on the road against longtime rival Oklahoma and held on for a 77-73 win Wednesday.
The win gave Texas (12-5, 1-3 SEC) its first SEC win over fellow conference newcomer Oklahoma (13-4, 0-4). Up next for Texas? A trip to No. 4 Florida Saturday.

Texas secures its first SEC and first Quad 1 win (trust me, those are important come NCAA Tournament selection time) by fedning off a wild Sooner rally. Jordan Pope, who entered the game avering 20 points a contest over gis last six games, scores 27 points on 9-of-17 shooting to negate a career-high 29 points from OU’s Jalon Moore. Tre Johnson added 16 points, including two late buckets. .
The Sooners pulled to within three points, but back-to-back buckets from Tre Johnson (16 points) has given Texas some cushion.
Make it 27 for Texas guard Jordan Pope, who’s scored the last 14 for Texas. By the way, good news for UT to get Arthur Kaluma back on the court after he left the game with an injured shoulder, but he is trying to navigate this game with four fouls.

Where would Texas be without Jordan Pope? The Texas guard scored nine points in a row for Texas and has a team-high 21 points as the Longhorns are desperately trying to hold off the Sooners.
At one point, Texas held a 53-30 lead. The Longhorns have scored three points in the last eight minutes. Jalon Moore had led the Sooner rally with 17 points.
Texas has six baskets and six turnovers this half. Can the Longhorns settle down and get some quality shots?
Things are falling apart for Texas over the past few minutes. UT has made just one of its last seven shots, and OU is on a 12-1 run over the last 4 miniutes. Maybe even worse? Arthur Kaluma, the team’s leading rebounder and second-leading scorer, left the game after injuring his right shoulder on a hard screen.

The Sooners are on a 10-2 run, and their sudden physicality and some pressure is causing fits for the Longhorns. Texas will have to stay stay strong with the ball and make their free throws to keep this lead, it feels like. And who will step up for some needed buckets?
A couple of turnovers and a couple of defensive lapses, and OU is clawing its way back into the game. Rodney Terry takes a timeout to try and settle the Longhorns.
All five Texas starters already have at least eight points and Texas is starting to control the glass. If the Longhorns can take care of the ball, they should escape Norman with a much-needed Quad 1 win and their first SEC win. But tons of time on the clock; do the Soonbers have a run in them?
Jordan Pope didn’t cool off during the break. The Oregon State transfer is up to 12 points, and Tre Johnson just coaxes in a reverse layup that draws oohs from the Texas bench and groans from the Norman crowd. Do yourself a favor and watch that replay.
This small ball by both teams really suits Texas. The Longhorns, free from being bothered by the bruisers they’ve faced so far in the SEC, have shot 48.5% from the floor and 6-of-15 from long distance. Tramon Mark and Tre Johnson each have 10 points, and Jordan Pope and Arthur Kaluma have eight apiece. Worth noting: Oklahoma shoots almost 81% from the foul line but is just 4 of 8 from the stripe.

Tre Johnson (10 points), Jordan Pope (8) and Tramon Mark (8) have each made a pair of 3-pointers for Texas, which has six assists on 13 field goals. Great ball movement so far for UT. Of note: Devon Pryor, a 6-7 wing, makes a first-half appearance. With Chendall Weaver out, Texas coach Rodney Terry needs someone else to provide some good minutes off the bench.
There are a lot of good shooters on both teams in this game, and none is hotter than Jordan Pope. The Texas guard drains another 3 to boost his total to eight points. Now, who’s going to win the battle on the boards between two teams that struggle with rebounds? OU leads that battle 12-10.
Jordan Pope is heating up. The Texas guard hits a little runner in the lane and follows that with a 3-pointer. That quick five points forces an OU timeout.
Arthur Kaluma had four points on 1-of-5 shooting in Saturday’s loss to Tennesse, but he’s already up to four against the Sooners. Texas has already hoisted seven 3-pointers in a wide-open game. This matchup seems to favor Texas; is it a must-win in the rugged SEC?
After wrestling with physical teams in Auburn and Tennessee the past two games, the Longhorns must be loving a more free-flowing game againt OU. Tre Johnson is off to a quick seven points for Texas

Texas and Oklahoma will wait for Tennessee and Georgia to finish their game on the SEC Network before tipping off. Sixth-ranked Tennessee (15-1, 2-1 SEC) has a 19-point lead with less than 4 minutes to go over No. 23 Georgia (14-2, 2-1) in the conference matchup.
Guard Chendall Weaver, one of the energizers for the Texas basketball team, could miss a significant amount of time, head coach Rodney Terry said Monday. Terry didn’t give a time estimate on the absence of Weaver, who injured his right hip in an 87-82 loss to Auburn on Jan. 7. He did say that “it’s going to take a little time to get him back.”
A junior from Mansfield, the 6-foot-3 Weaver averages 6.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 21.1 minutes per contest.

Samsung is taking steps to provide Apple with image sensors built with advanced technology for iPhones. Reportedly, the sensors for the iPhone will be manufactured in Samsung’s current Austin, Texas facility, and the company is anticipated to soon have production equipment installed for the upcoming project.
The image sensor of the iPhone is expected to have a three-stack design for better low-light performance and a higher density of pixels with multiple layers stacked vertically. This results in less power consumption, a dynamic range that’s higher, and faster speeds for readouts.
It’s believed that the new sensor will be made for the upcoming iPhone 18 in 2027. Apple and Samsung have reportedly arrived at a deal where Samsung will be supplying the component for the sensor. This marks the first occasion Apple will be going with another company apart from Sony as their main supplier for image sensors for its iPhones.
Texas football has lost its fair share of players to the NFL draft and transfer portal over the past few weeks, dwindling the roster. Despite the loss of a few big names such as linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., safety Michael Taaffe and others, the Longhorns have held onto star quarterback Arch Manning.
While it was unlikely that Manning would enter the portal, there was some hype surrounding the possibility of the first-year starter entering the NFL Draft. Why did the young star decide to forego the pros? According to Manning, his journey at Texas isn’t quite finished.
Manning Wants to Continue His Development With Texas

“I felt like I developed a lot this year, especially towards the back half, and I want to keep it going,” Manning said, according to Inside Texas’s Evan Vieth. “There’s no reason to leave. I feel like I got a lot more football left to play, and excited to still be a part of this team.”

Manning didn’t quite have the season that most fans and analysts envisioned for him, struggling at the start of the year. Despite these struggles, Manning went on to improve throughout the regular season, demonstrating why he is one of the nation’s top quarterback talents.

At the start of the season, Manning’s accuracy and timing were a bit off. The offense as a whole seemed out of sync, and Texas was not looking like the powerhouse that was promised heading into the season.
Eventually, though, Manning found his stride, and more than just improving his stats, the Longhorn quarterback looked more comfortable. Eventually, the stat sheet reflected his improvements, posting 1,625 passing yards over the last six games of the season, alongside 16 total touchdowns.
Now, returning to Texas for what will likely be his last year in college before departing for the NFL, next season should be an exciting one for the Longhorns. Not only is Manning more experienced as the team’s top quarterback, but the wide receiving core will have developed as well.
Texas wide receivers had their struggles with drops this season, but showed improvements at some points throughout the year.

Though it may be difficult to abstain from declaring for the draft, ultimately Manning made perhaps the best decision for his career and development. With another year to grow, by the time he enters the NFL, Manning will be much more experienced and likely better prepared.

Manning will have one more chance to take the field this season in the upcoming Citrus Bowl, where Texas will take on the Michigan Wolverines on December 31.
