Texas 66, TCU 43: After missing the last two games with a head injury, Javan Felix returned to score 16 points as the Longhorns rolled past the visiting Horned Frogs.

Felix came off the bench to hit 5-of-8 shots, including 4-of-7 from outside the arc, while adding four assists without a turnover. Cameron Ridley had 15 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks for Texas (16-8, 5-6 Big 12), while Kendal Yancy recorded 12 points.

Felix and Yancy outscored TCU by themselves in the first half, combining for 17 points on 5-of-8 3-point shooting as Texas held a 31-16 advantage at the break. Felix knocked down three 3-pointers as the Longhorns turned a 12-10 edge into a commanding 31-13 cushion before the Horned Frogs scored the final three points of the half.

After its 16-point first half, TCU scored 16 points in the first 9:14 of the second half to get within 39-32 before Felix's jumper and a free throw by Ridley pushed the lead back to double figures. Felix's 3-pointer with just under seven minutes left capped an 11-2 run as the Longhorns pulled away to win easily.
