Austin, Texas (AP) -- The No. 12 Texas Longhorns honored slain Houston Christian star Darius Lee before the teams played Thursday night, a tribute planned by the players.

Lee was killed last June in a shooting in his hometown of New York City. Eight others were wounded during the Father's Day gathering.
