With the interim head coach tag now applied to Rodney Terry for the rest of the season,...
Texas forward Timmy Allen gives a thumbs up to Texas interim head coach Rodney Terry during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Oklahoma State, Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, in Stillwater, Okla. Texas defeated Oklahoma State 56-46. On Tuesday night, Kansas State beat Texas while scoring more points than any Big 12 team ever had against the Longhorns.
So the blinders went up and the Longhorns went to work Wednesday and Thursday before boarding Friday’s flight to Stillwater, Oklahoma. Stopping this tumultuous week from snowballing into even more misfortune wouldn’t be a simple task, but Terry knew if the sixth-ranked Longhorns could keep their minds uncluttered they’d be able to go grind out a win in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
“I give my guys a lot of credit,” Terry said during a post-game interview on the Longhorn Radio Network. “We won this game back in Austin. We got back the day that we could get back on the floor and started working. We went straight to our defense. I mean, we spent two hours working on nothing but defense, defense, defense. We did it the entire practice. We didn't do one offensive drill. We just had to get back to our identity.
By halftime, Texas led 32-24 with both teams shooting below 35 percent from the field. The Longhorns would have appreciated a few more open looks, but they’d at least built a modest lead heading into the final 20 minutes.
