Texas Longhorns basketball team humiliated in 84-69 loss to South Carolina
The South Carolina Gamecocks snapped a 13-game losing streak Saturday with a dominating win over a punchless Texas Longhorns squad, 84-69. South Carolina was led by Collin Murray-Boyles, who recorded a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out.
With the Texas Longhorns fighting for a spot in the NCAA Tournament, this loss might be damaging to UT’s resume. It was the first SEC win of the season for the Gamecocks (11-16, 1-13), who lost their first 13 Southeastern Conference games.
South Carolina built a double-digit lead early and extended it to as many as 22 points in the second half. The aggressive Gamecocks defense derailed Texas (16-11, 5-9) all night. UT didn’t have to deal with a hostile environment either. The game was sparsely-attended against a team that was 0-13 in conference.
The heat will only get hotter for embattled Texas Longhorns coach Rodney Terry, whose team failed to execute any kind of game plan or follow a scouting report on a team that was having one of the worst seasons in South Carolina program history.
Texas travels to Arkansas on Wednesday before finishing the regular season out with Georgia at home, on the road at Mississippi State and OU back at Moody.
