 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Bob Knight considers Texas' Rick Barnes among his good friends in coaching circles. It hasn't helped him figure out a way to beat his buddy on the court. A.J. Abrams scored 18 points and the No. 19 Longhorns stayed in the thick of the Big 12 race with an 80-51 win Tuesday night over Texas Tech.
Barnes ran his record to 12-2 against Knight, the winningest men's coach in college basketball. It was also Texas' second straight rout of the Red Raiders in Austin, who limped out of the Frank Erwin Center with a 34-point loss last season.
"We've had a very difficult time," said Knight, who was left sitting and stewing on the bench for much of this one. "We've on occasion been nonexistent. Tonight was one of those nights."
