After playing Saturday’s game, a 61-57 win at Kansas State that ended a four-game losing streak, without two members of his rotation Texas head coach Rick Barnes will once again be without a starter when the Longhorns take on TCU Wednesday night.

6-foot-8 senior forward Jonathan Holmes, who’s currently second on the team in scoring and first in rebounding, will miss his second consecutive game. Holmes suffered a concussion in Texas’ home loss to Oklahoma State last Wednesday, and he hasn’t practiced since according to Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman.

Texas did receive good news in regards to the status of guard Javan Felix however, as he’s been cleared to play after also missing Saturday’s win due to a concussion. Felix was injured late in a loss at Baylor, resulting in his missing the Oklahoma State and Kansas State games.

Without those two in the lineup Saturday, Barnes went with an eight-man rotation with freshman Jordan Barnett playing 11 minutes. Barnett, who is averaging 9.3 minutes per game on the season, played a total of five minutes in the Longhorns’ losses to Baylor and Oklahoma State and did not play against either Kansas (January 24) or Iowa State (January 26).
