Holmes helps ‘Horns get back on track with win over TCU
The Longhorns got back in the winning groove with a 73-67 victory over TCU Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center.
Texas (15-3, 5-1) showed the all-around excellence that propelled them up in the rankings after a disappointing loss at Kansas State last week, led by 17 points from junior Joyner Holmes.

Sug Sutton paced the Longhorns with nine points, seven rebound and seven assists, keeping Texas moving forward despite an off shooting night (2-for-12 from the field). That was crucial for Texas as the ‘Horns had leaned heavily on Sutton’s scoring to get wins this season, and the squad showed they can find offense in other areas even when their point guard has an off night.
Back home again on Wednesday, Texas welcomes Kansas to the Erwin Center for a 7 p.m. tip.
