AUSTIN, Texas â Three Longhorns recorded career-high marks as Texas Men's Basketball outlasted No. 16/16 TCU, 99-98, in a double overtime victory on Wednesday night at the Erwin Center.
Junior Eric Davis Jr. led Texas with a career-high 22 points, freshman Jericho Sims posted a career-high 14 points, and freshman Matt Coleman finished with a career-high 12 assists.
Davis Jr.'s 22 points came on 8-of-15 shooting, including a 4-of-9 mark from the three-point line, also adding three rebounds.
Sims scored his 14 points on a 6-of-8 mark from the field and knocked down the go-ahead free throw with five seconds remaining.
Coleman posted his first double-double of the season, adding 17 points, five rebounds, and three steals to his 12 assists.
Junior Dylan Osetkowski and freshman Mohamed Bamba rounded out the double-digit scoring for the Longhorns with 20 and 10, respectively.
Osetkowski finished 9-of-11 from the free-throw line and was 5-of-10 from the field, also adding six rebounds, two assists, and one steal.
Bamba led the Longhorns in rebounds with nine and in blocks with five, finishing 4-of-6 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free throw line.
The Longhorns were 34-of-60 (56.7%) from the field and outscored TCU, 42-30 in the paint. The Texas defense didn't allow a single fast-break point from the Horned Frogs.
UT raced out to an early 18-5 lead after a steal and layup from sophomore Jacob Young at the 15:29 mark. TCU responded with nine-straight over a three-minute stretch to trim the Texas advantage to four (18-14).
A 3-pointer from Davis Jr. put UT on top 26-19 with 8:22 remaining in the first half. The Longhorns led by just two (30-28) at the 4:54 mark, but a 9-0 run fueled by six-straight from Sims extended the lead back to double-digits (39-28) for Texas with 3:09 to play.
Bamba concluded the scoring in the first half with a pair of free throws to give Texas a 43-33 lead at the break.
Sims led the Longhorns in the first half with 11 points while Coleman added six points and eight assists. Texas shot 63 percent in first half on 17-of-27 shooting from the field.
A Bamba putback forced another TCU timeout at the 16:21 mark as Texas pulled ahead 51-38 early in the second half. The Longhorns led by six (54-48) after a 7-0 spurt from TCU, but a Young 3-pointer and traditional three-point play from Osetkowski on consecutive possessions stretched the Texas lead back to double-digits (60-50) with 12 minutes to go.
A five-minute field goal drought for UT allowed the Horned Frogs to claim their first lead of the game at 66-65 with 6:21 remaining in regulation. Coleman hit a pair from the charity stripe and Osetkowski connected from short range as Texas regained the lead (71-68) with under five minutes to play.
UT pulled ahead, 77-73 after Davis Jr. beat the shot clock buzzer from deep at the 1:07 mark. TCU quickly responded with two free throws on the opposite end and evened the scoring on their next possession at 77 with 10 seconds to go. The Longhorns missed a shot at the horn to head into overtime for the second time in three games.
The Longhorns trailed by four (85-81) after TCU connected from beyond the arc with 2:10 remaining in the extra period. Osetkowski was fouled down low and hit a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to 85-83 and on the following possession Davis. Jr knocked down a jumper as Texas trailed, 86-85. A block from Bamba on the defensive end with 30 seconds to play led to a Longhorn timeout and Osetkowski hit a 3-pointer with just seven seconds remaining in overtime. The Horned Frogs knocked down a mid-range jumper at the buzzer to send the contest to double overtime.
Two free throws from Osetkowski brought UT even at 94 with 2:06 to play in the second overtime. A Coleman lay-in tied the contest once again, but TCU connected at the charity stripe on the opposite end. Davis Jr. brought down the TCU missed shot and saved it to Sims who was fouled and sent to the free throw line. Sims hit 1-of-2 free throws to give the Longhorns a 99-98 lead with five seconds. TCU missed a layup at the buzzer as Texas picked up a 99-98 double overtime victory.
Kenrich Williams paced TCU with 26 points.
Texas will be back on the court to face Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. Tip-off at Gallagher-Iba Arena is set for 4 p.m. Central and the game will be nationally televised on ESPNews.
