Texas Longhorns
Last time out, Texas hosted the Oklahoma State Cowboys and comfortably won 89-75. It was a tight first few minutes, but the Longhorns went on to control the first of the first half and built an eight-point lead at the half. The Cowboys had no answer in the second half as Texas extended their lead and cruised to the win. Texas led by as many as 15 points, never trailed by more than two, and covered the -8.0-point spread.
Marcus Carr had 21 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals on the night. Timmy Allen added 17 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in the victory.
Through 20 games, Texas is scoring 80.5 points per game, shooting 48.3% from the field, and assisting on 16.7 made shots. The Longhorns are allowing 66.8 points, grabbing 35.8 rebounds, blocking 4.1 shots, and stealing the ball 8.1 times.
Tennessee Volunteers
Tennessee welcomed the Georgia Bulldogs and embarrassed them, winning 70-41. Surprisingly, this game was close for the first 10 minutes, but the Vols went on a big run and ended the first half leading by 13 points. It was much of the same in the second half as the Bulldogs were completely noncompetitive on the night. Tennessee led by as many as 31 points, never trailed by more than four, and covered the -16.5-point spread.
After 20 games, Tennessee is scoring 74.1 points per game, shooting 44.2% from the field, and assisting on 17.5 made shots. The Volunteers are allowing 53.7 points, grabbing 39.8 rebounds, blocking 4.3 shots, and stealing the ball 9.7 times.
