AUSTIN -- The Texas Longhorns pulled off their biggest win of the 2024-25 season against the No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, storming back from 22 down in the second half to stun their heated rivals 70-69 thanks to a runner from Tramon Mark with 3.7 seconds left.

Even more impressive about the win was that the Longhorns did so without arguably their second-best player, as forward Arthur Kaluma was ruled out prior to tipoff due to a left knee injury.

After the win, Texas head coach Rodney Terry shared the latest on Kaluma's injury as the Longhorns prepare to head to Oxford to face Chris Beard and the Ole Miss Rebels on Wednesday.

"That's going to be a day-to-day type situation," Terry said. "He was not available today. We never want to put a youngster out that is not at full strength. Our training staff, Warren (Young), one the best in the country. He'll do a great job. And when Arthur's ready to go, and he's fully healthy to be out on the floor, we'll have him out there at that time."

Kaluma was listed as a game-time decision against Texas A&M. He didn't participate in warmups before the team ruled him out prior to tipoff.
