No. 20 Texas caught fire in the second half to complete the season sweep of in-state rival TCU on Wednesday.
It was a night where Texas was held to just 1-14 from three-point range and trailed by as many as 10 points in the second half. The Longhorns used clutch play from Andrew Jones and Marcus Carr to extend Texas’ win streak over the Frogs to seven games.
Texas used a 14-2 run sparked by this excellent defensive play from Christian Bishop to start the massive comeback.

Bishop’s play was vital for Texas as Tre Mitchell is still taking a leave of absence from the team. The big man finished with 10 points, five blocks and five rebounds.
Marcus Carr put the game away for good on this dagger of a step-back jumper.
