AUSTIN, Texas — There have been plenty of times this season when the Texas men's basketball team has failed, sometimes miserably, down the stretch, in the process turning potential wins into devastating losses.

But the Longhorns (14-7 overall, 4-4 in Big 12 play) flipped that script Saturday, saved their best for last to pull out a dramatic and uplifting win.
