Texas 73, North Texas 57

At the Erwin Center Tuesday night, the Texas Longhorns handled the North Texas Mean Green by a score of 73-57. Freshmen sensation Myck Kabongo played his best game of the season by far, both shooting exceptionally from the field and free throw line as well as defending the Mean Green's best player Chris Jones. As Kabongo's 16 points and 7 assists led the way, Texas freshmen combined to score 54 of the Longhorns' total of 73 points. With junior guard J'Covan Brown suffering his second consecutive lukewarm performance, finishing this time with a mere 6 points scored, freshmen Jonathan Holmes, Julien Lewis, and Sheldon McClellan filled in amply on the offensive end of the court. Unfortunately, the Longhorns were outrebounded 42-29 by North Texas, including an obsene 18 offensive rebounded yielded to the Mean Green. While the Longhorns are certainly happy to come away with the victory, coach Rick Barnes is likely pulling his hair out over an unimposing team such as North Texas coming into Austin and so thoroughly owning the glass.
