Radford topples No. 17 UT in Austin

AUSTIN — Carlik Jones made a spinning layup and a free throw with 24.5 seconds left, sending Radford to a 62-59 upset of No. 17 Texas on Friday night.

Devin Hutchison made one of two free throws with 11 seconds left before Texas’ Jase Febres missed a 3-pointer to tie, and Radford rebounded to end the game.

It was the second big road win for Radford (6-1), which beat Notre Dame earlier this season.

Jericho Sims scored 16 for UT (5-2), which came in with its highest ranking in four seasons under coach Shaka Smart but shot just 35 percent.

“The second half they were the aggressors,” Smart said. “We’ve been in some big games against opponents that maybe our guys circle, but every game counts. I bet Radford circled this one.”
