Lincoln, Neb. ? Kevin Durant had another big night for Texas Wednesday, but it was his teammates who finished the job in a 62-61 victory over Nebraska.

The freshman star had 26 points and 15 rebounds, but didn’t score the last 11 minutes and couldn’t even get his hands on the ball on the Longhorns’ last few possessions.

Justin Mason hit a tiebreaking three-pointer with 2:04 left for the Longhorns, who won for the first time in three games and handed the Cornhuskers their first loss in 10 home games this season.

“We pulled it out,” Durant said. “Nebraska was a tough team, especially at home. Anything I can do to help my team, I do it.”

Nebraska had a chance to win after Ryan Anderson hit a short jumper to get the Cornhuskers within a point, and Texas’ D.J. Augustin missed as the shot clock ran down with eight seconds left. But Jamel White missed a baseline runner, and the Longhorns’ J.D. Lewis rebounded.

The Longhorns (14-5, 4-1 Big 12), who dropped out of the Top 25 after losses to Oklahoma State and Villanova, picked up only their second win in five true road games. Nebraska (12-6, 1-3) held Texas to its second-lowest point total of the season.

Missouri 79, Colorado 65

Boulder, Colo. – Matt Lawrence and Stefhon Hannah each scored 14 points as the Tigers snapped a four-game Big 12 losing streak.

Colorado (5-11, 1-5) was led in scoring for the third straight game by Xavier Silas, who finished with 16 points.

Jeremy Williams had 15 points, and Richard Roby contributed 11 points, moving him into 14th place on Colorado’s all-time scoring list.
