LAS VEGAS — No. 17 Texas beat Stanford 60-53 on Sunday in the Pac 12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge at T-Mobile Arena. Harrison Ingram had 15 points and seven rebounds to lead the Cardinal (6-4).
Ingram's 15 points were a game high, to go along with seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. Maxime Raynaud matched Ingram's seven rebounds, while also blocking two shots, while Spencer Jones and Michael O'Connell had three assists each. Jaiden Delaire scored nine points with four rebounds.
The Longhorns (8-2) used a 13-0 second-half run to seize control and pull away for their seventh victory in eight games.
