Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners: Live In-Game Updates

The Texas Longhorns take on the Oklahoma Sooners from Moody Center in Austin on Saturday.

The No. 6 Texas Longhorns host the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday at the Moody Center for their second Big 12 meeting of the regular season.

Texas (20-6, 9-4) took the first meeting over OU in a 70-69 thriller in Norman on Dec. 31 to open up Big 12 play. The Longhorns battled from behind in the closing minutes to secure the win on the road.

But the Longhorns are coming off of arguably their worst loss of the season, as the last-place Texas Tech Red Raiders took down Texas 74-67 in Lubbock on Monday. The Red Raiders entered that game tied for last in the conference and remain in that spot as of Saturday, but got the best of the Longhorns.

Still, this should add some extra juice to a Texas squad that will have it far from easy against the Sooners (13-13, 3-10), who are currently tied with Tech in the Big 12 standings. OU stumbled through a four-game winning streak recently, but sandwiched that slump in between a massive 93-69 win over No. 1 Alabama on Jan. 28 and a 79-65 win over No. 12 Kansas State on Tuesday.

There's been some inconsistencies from coach Porter Moser's team this season, but they've proven they're capable of beating anyone.

Live in-game updates will appear below at tip-off.

Under-16

Both teams got out to a bit of a slowish start, as the Sooners led 5-4 at the 16-minute mark. Tyrese Hunter and Dylan Disu got the scoring started for Texas while Milos Uzan hit an early triple for OU.

Under-12

Sam Godwin then had four quick points for the Sooners to extend their lead to 9-4. Timmy Allen answered with four straight points of his own, but the Longhorns still trailed 12-8.

Under-8

It suddenly became the Brock Cunningham show midway through the half, as he had five straight points in under 40 seconds behind a jumper and 3-pointer from the top of the key. But back-to-back turnovers by Texas halted any momentum for the moment, as OU reclaimed the lead at 22-21 despite five straight points from Sir'Jabari Rice.

Under-4

Allen found space for a turnaround baseline jumper despite being smothered by Jalen Hill before finding Disu in the lane for two more points. But Joe Bamisile responded with five straight points to give OU the lead back at 28-27.

HALFTIME: Texas 34, Oklahoma 34

Under-16

Allen got the scoring started in the second half with a jumper to give Texas a 38-36 lead. He scored again before Christian Bishop got free for two points inside as the Longhorns led 44-40 at the 16-minute mark.

Under-12

But then Sherfield got hot. He hit back-to-back triples in 31 seconds to give OU a 46-44 lead, all while the Longhorns were held without a field goal for a three-minute stretch. The 3-point barrage continued for the Sooners, as Hill and Bamisile both hit triples of their own to give OU a 53-48 edge.

Under-8
