 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Damion James had 23 points and 11 rebounds, D. J. Augustin powered a crucial second-half run and No. 6 Texas beat pesky Oklahoma State 66-59 Friday in the second round of the Big 12 tournament.
Augustin, the quick and crafty point guard who led the conference in assists and was second in scoring, finished with 24 points for the Longhorns (27-5). He had eight points and an assist in a 14-0 run at the start of the second half.
Texas took a 56-43 lead on Connor Atchley's bucket and seemed ready to cruise home. But Terrel Harris made a 3-pointer and the Cowboys, ice cold from beyond the arc all day, then quickly drilled three more from long range during a 12-2 spree that cut the Longhorns' lead to 58-55.
