From The Associated Press on the mid-game activities in College Station:
D.J. Augustin's 3-pointer with about nine minutes left got Texas within 59-48 before this fast-paced game was slowed down by a wild series of events on the next possession.
The already emotionally charged rivalry got even more amped up on a play that began with Augustin being knocked to the floor when he ran into a screen by Bryan Davis and ended when Alexis Wangmene threw an elbow into the back of DeAndre Jordan while the pair fought for a rebound. Wangmene then crashed to the court into a group of cameramen.
Wangmene was given a flagrant technical foul for the hit and ejected from the game. When the replay was shown on the Jumbotron, the record crowd of 13,555 began to boo and hiss menacingly. After his ejection, Wangmene sat at the end of the bench, causing the referees to approach the bench and make him leave the court with a police escort.
