Marcus Carr and seventh-ranked Texas are playing through the lingering uncertainty surrounding the program following the suspension of coach Chris Beard.
DALLAS — Despite the ongoing suspension of head coach Chris Beard, Texas on Sunday beat Standford 72-62
“We love coach Beard ... every day in that locker room over there, myself included, we’re all family,” Longhorns acting head coach Rodney Terry said. “But you control what you can control right now at this time, and that’s putting these guys in the best position to be successful and, you know, keeping them having a great competitive experience.”
Texas officials suspended Beard indefinitely without pay, elevated Terry to acting head coach and have declined to comment on Beard’s case since. The only mention of Beard in the team’s game notes was on the third page, a copy of the university’s one-paragraph statement from Monday announcing the suspension.
“Right now we’re defending our culture in terms of how hard we play, what the standards are every every day,” Terry said. The Longhorns led by as much as a 58-42 after Hunter’s 3 with 11 1/2 minutes left before missing 11 shots in a row. Stanford went on a 13-1 run and was within 59-55, but never got closer after Carr made the drought-ending jumper with 6:08 left.
