Texas guard Marcus Carr drives around TCU guard Mike Miles Jr. during the second half of Wednesday night’s game in Austin.Nothing fancy. That’s not really the super senior forward’s game.

“We needed to come down a little bit,” Texas interim coach Rodney Terry said. “A lot of times when we settle down and put the ball inside it kind of calms us down. We get our cutters moving, get the ball moving a little bit more in terms of playing through the post a little bit. Playing through Timmy, dropping the ball inside was really big for us.”
The Longhorns struggled to break down TCU on the perimeter. When they did manage to dip a toe into the lane, there were typically a few long-limbed deterrents waiting to affect the shot. “This young generation is a visual learning crew,” Terry said. “We have a great video guy. And he had the turnovers and the transition baskets that were really hurting us. So the guys got a chance to see visually that we were driving into traffic, we weren’t strong with the ball, we were making passes we said we couldn’t make against this team. And we showed possession where the ball was sticking for us. So I thought that was really good for us.
