Demarcus Holland paid a stiff price for turning the ball over early in the second half of Texas' 65-63 loss to Oklahoma State. The Longhorns guard raced back on defense, tried in vain to draw a charge and ended up being on the wrong end of a vicious transition poster dunk from a soaring Le'Bryan Nash. While free-falling Texas suffered its fourth straight loss and its sixth in eight games, Holland actually had a pretty good night individually aside from being victimized on the dunk. The defensive stopper sank four 3-pointers and did a respectable job chasing sharpshooter Phil Forte around screen after screen. *
