AUSTIN, Texas — When the University of Texas men's basketball team needed a lift Tuesday against 10th-ranked West Virginia, it was freshman guard Eric Davis, Jr. — an unlikely source given his recent contributions — who answered the call.

Davis canned all four of his three-point shots in a six-minute stretch of the first half on the way to scoring 15 points — all before halftime —and the Longhorns survived a final parry from the Mountaineers to post a crucial 85-78 win.
