Texas Longhorns
Last time out, Texas visited the #12 Iowa State Cyclones and left with a 78-67 defeat. This was a tight first half that saw the Longhorns take a big early lead, but the Cyclones claw back and grab a one-point lead at the half. It was back and forth the first 10 minutes of the second half, but the Cyclones started pulling away and ended with a double-digit win. Texas led by as many as 11 points, trailed by as much as 12, and could not cover the +2.5-point spread.
Timmy Allen had nine points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block on the night. Marcus Carr added 11 points, three rebounds, four assists, and one steal in the loss.

West Virginia Mountaineers
West Virginia hosted #14 TCU and comfortably beat the Horned Frogs 74-65. The Mountaineers jumped all over TCU in this one as they built a quick double-digit lead and led by 15 at halftime. It was much of the same for most of the second half, but the Horned Frogs did go on a late run to make it uncomfortable for a few minutes. West Virginia led by as many as 18 points, never trailed by more than two, and covered the -2.5-point spread.
