AUSTIN, Texas — Losing close games can infect a team and create doubt in the end game, a time when every shot, every rebound, every pass and every decision is exponentially more important.

It’s a malady that has hampered the Texas men’s basketball team plenty this season, the latest exhibit being a 64-61 loss Wednesday to surging TCU before an announced crowd of 9,661 at the Frank Erwin Center.

It was the fourth time in UT's past five defeats that the margin between winning and losing was five points or less.
