Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 07:23:00 GMT

Editor’s Note: The video above shows KXAN News Today’s top headlines for March 10, 2023.AUSTIN (KXAN) — It's never easy to beat a team three times, but No. 12 Texas was able to accomplish that over Oklahoma State with their 61-47 win in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal. The Longhorns were without senior forward Timmy Allen who missed the game with a lower leg injury. The game was not a pretty affair, as both teams combined for 33 turnovers and no team shot better than 40% from the field. It was the Texas defense that shined, particularly in the second half, where they kept Oklahoma State from making a field goal for two separate stretches of over three minutes. The longest field goal drought for Oklahoma State was around seven minutes to start the second half. Texas had five players score in double figures, with Sir'Jabari Rice taking the title of leading scorer with 15 points.Dylan Disu had a standout performance for Texas, scoring 11 points and pulling down 11 rebounds for his f...

Loons ‘lucky’ to have new center back Micky Tapias

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 07:23:00 GMT

New Minnesota United center back Micky Tapias produced a strong MLS debut in the Loons’ 1-0 win over FC Dallas on Feb. 25, but the first impression wasn’t spotless. What stood out was how the 26-year-old Mexican responded to a rare, and potentially catastrophic mistake.Just after halftime, Tapias lost the ball at midfield and Alan Velasco started a Dallas break. Tapias sprinted back, knowing his error might lead to a scoring chance in a then goal-less match.Seconds later at the top of the box, Tapias won the ball back from Paul Arriola — one of Tapias’ game-high eight clearances in his 90-minute shift. When Dallas kept coming in stoppage time, Tapias was there to deny them.With Tapias in the opener, the Loons produced their first road clean sheet in nearly a calendar year, 16 matches since March 13, 2022. MNUFC conceded only one shot on target against Dallas, and that was on a corner kick easily parried over the crossbar by Dayne St. Clair.The Loons will now look to keep up th...
