On By Littum

Moments after his team’s disappointing 78-70 loss to visit Arkansas Wednesday, Texas Basketball Coach Rodney Terry took the blame.

“I didn’t do a good job of having my guys ready to deal with the kind of pressure we had to turn against from bats,” he said. “Give them (The Razorbacks) A lot of credit for the way they played tonight. They really dictated how the game was played. Give them credit for what they were able to do with their defense tonight. “

The Arkansas defense kept Texas (15-8, 4-6) to 34.4% shooting, Longhorns’ worst shooting performance in the season. It also forced 11 revenue, including eight in the decisive first half. Razorbacks (14-8, 3-6) led 35-24 at the break and did their best to seal the victory with a 10-0 spurt to open the second half.

But Texas gathered and withdrew within five points in the last minute of the game. But as Dour Expressions and Curt-Svarters on journalists’ questions about postgame showed, a Texas team took a full-blown fight for an NCAA tournament site not comforting in just a strong effort.

“We just have to be more locked in, especially playing against good teams,” said Texas-Nybstiger Three Johnson, who scored a team high 25 points, but made only six of 22 shots from the floor. “Each team is good at our conference, so we have to be locked in every game.”

Arthur Kaluma spoke 12 points and 13 rebounds for Texas, and Frem Kadin Shedrick played through painful back spasms to score 10 points and grab eight rebounds in just 19 minutes.

“The drug started kicking in pretty well,” Shedrick said, explaining how he got back on the field after leaving the game in the first half. “I thought it was a windbar game and I didn’t just want to sit out. I felt that at least I could try to help win the game. “

After three wins in its previous four SEC matches, Texas will try to rediscover some of its Swagger on Saturday on Vanderbilt.

“This is hard, do you know?” Said Terry. “You have to try to do everything you can in your power to defend Home Court because you go on the road, man, we play hard venues against really good teams. We have to re -group with a short turn against a really good Vanderbilt team. “
