As expected Sunday evening, Texas junior J'Covan Brown led the way for the Longhorns, scoring 28 points and distributing 8 assists in a 82-46 season-opening victory over Boston University. Brown's freshmen counterparts, all 6 of them, fared favorably in supporting roles, including an impressive 18-point performance from guard Julien Lewis. Looking as good as advertised, freshman point guard Myck Kabongo collected 7 assists against 2 turnovers in 22 minutes of play. And how appropriate was it that freshman Jaylen Bond's first basket of his Longhorn career came by way of an electrifying fast-break dunk? Senior forwards Alexis Wangmene and Clint Chapman also chipped in admirably collecting 11 rebounds and 8 blocks between them. Boston U., an NCAA Tournament team last season, was for the most part stymied by the Texas defense, who held the Terriers to a 29.8% shooting percentage for the game.
