AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -Sagging Texas needs a spark.
The No. 14 Longhorns could get one if freshman J’Covan Brown can seize his second chance at leading the offense.
With Texas losing five of its last seven games after earning the first No. 1 ranking in school history, coach Rick Barnes is turning to the erratic but sometimes fantastic guard to help get the team out of the slump.
Brown is expected to be back in the starting lineup Saturday when Texas (19-5, 5-4 Big 12) hosts Nebraska (13-11, 1-8). It will be Brown’s fifth start of the season, but first since Nov. 29.
Brown scored 28 points off the bench in Monday’s 80-68 loss to top-ranked Kansas.
