The Longhorns closed to within five points late in the second half but couldn’t pull off the winning rally against Arkansas (14-8, 3-6), which garnered a second consecutive road win after beating Kentucky Saturday. Freshman Tre Johnson led Texas with 25 points but shot just 6-of-22 from the floor, and Kadin Shedrick shook off back spasms that sent him to the locker room for treatment and ended with 10 points and eight rebounds. Arthur Kaluma added 12 points and 13 rebounds for Texas.

Want an early highlight? How about a Dr. J-ish (look it up, kids) dunk from Arthur Kaluma over the 7-2 Zvonimir Ivisic. But that’s about the only highlight for a Texas team that has opened the game shooting 3-for-9 from the floor.
11:57 2H: Arkansas 53, Texas 33
A massive 3-pointer from Nelly Davis (22 points) may just give the Hogs enough cushion to escape with the win. But Texas is trying to keep hope alive.

Texas cpach Rodney Terry takes a quick timeout after a 8-0 burst by Arkansas to open the second half. These Hog fans are calling ’em again in Moody.

17:33 2H: Arkansas 43, Texas 24
Texas can’t afford an injury to 6-11 forward Kadin Shedrick, considering the lack of size in the Longhorn rotation. He limps off with what looks like an injury to his lower back or left hip. A stifling Hog defense has held UT to 29% shooting.
Halftime: Arkansas 35, Texas 24
Devon Pryor has a right calf strain and is questionable to return for Texas, but Kadin Shedrick has returned to the game despite back spasms. Texas trailed Texas A&M by 22 points and came back to win a couple of weeks ago. Can lightning strike twice at Moody? Being in the bonus already will help the Horns’ cause – but so would any kind of points in the second half.

Kadin Shedrick says not so fast, my friends. He throws down a dunk over Zvonimir Ivisic and has some choice words for the big fella, maybe even in Croatian (Shedrick is a smart youing man). He then motions to the crowd to get on its feet. The fans responds and Hogs coach John Calipari takes a timeout.
