The Cowboys lost to Texas 61-47 in the quarterfinal game in the Big 12 tournament last week, putting their NCAA tournament bid in jeopardy.

The Cowboys only shot  27% from the field, whereas Texas came up with 37%.

Caleb Asberry led the scorers with 16 points and Kalib Boone added another 11 points.

Head coach Mike Boynton commented “Obviously we didn’t play very well, and that goes without saying. Obviously we played poorly on a day where we really, you know, needed to play much better.

“But give credit to Texas. They obviously were the aggressors from the beginning. I think they took great advantage of having the extra day of rest, and you know, they pressured us quite a bit and forced us into the turnovers that we had kind of gotten away from the last few games and compounded it by not making shots when we were actually open.

“So tough day, but I’m incredibly proud of these kids. They fought their butt off through a lot of adversity this year, whether be injury or illness or guys having to be away from the team for different reasons. They continued to stick with each other and our staff, and I’m excited that we have more basketball ahead of us.”
