To open a stretch in which it will face four straight ranked opponents, Texas fended off Vanderbilt in an 87-66 win at Moody Center on Thursday night.

AUSTIN - In a physical top-25 matchup, the No. 4 Texas Longhorns outmatched the No. 24 Vanderbilt Commodores, winning dominantly, 87-66. Uncharacteristically, Texas was 9-13 from behind the arc with senior guard Shay Holle shooting 4-5 from three and finishing with 16 points.

For the first time in 35 years, the Arkansas Razorbacks defeated the Texas Longhorns on their home court, earning a crucial 78-70 victory.

A dominant second half gives Texas its biggest win of the season in SEC play. Possibly off the NCAA bubble, UT returns home for its next game.

Johnell Davis scored a season-high 24 points and Arkansas made 11 of 13 free throws in the last 62 seconds to hold off Texas 78-70 on Wednesday night.
