The Texas Longhorns' basketball team adds another big win to their resume. In the homecoming of former head coach Rick Barnes, the Longhorns squeaked out a 52-to-51 victory Saturday. Texas led by as many as 16 points in the second half, before a furious Tennessee run tied things with just over a minute left to play. A Timmy Allen free-throw with six seconds left proved to be the difference. Things don't get any easier for the Longhorns, as they travel to face Texas Tech on Tuesday.
