Miller has a lot of respect for Scott Drew and the Baylor program. "The object isn't to learn now," he said. "It's to win and learn."

On free-throw shooting (27-for-42 tonight): "We have a free-throw program that we believe in. We do it so guys have a process that they can call on now that we're in real games... We left a lot of points on the table at halftime... What percentage we shoot from the free-throw line will be a big indicator of our offensive success."

I thought it might destroy the good cross-conference games, given all the time needed for the playoffs. 🤘

Sean Miller wasn't happy with the last eight minutes of the game. "We let down," he said.

Pay no attention to this Cam. You just get well. We’ll suffer thru your absence with Bishop.

One of my favorite longhorns!!! If he can go, bet your bottom dollar he will!!! I love his mentality 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

True. They scored 93 points and the starting backcourt of Johnson and Goosby only had a combined five of them. Just shows, even without Lewis, how good this offense is. Free throw shooting must improve overall for this team to be at its best long term. I think Johnson and Goosby are two of the best free throw shooters on the team, so that will help.

😂 I like the confidence! Somebody tell the opposing coaches to bring extra aspirin. They're going to need it. Pick your poison indeed!

"It's electric," Punch said of Joe Sterling's hot start. "He threw me a great lob."

Punch takes pride in playing defense. Teams will have to game plan for Texas' physicality, he said, which is a credit to Matas for how much he battles.

David Punch on playing off Matas: "I don't think any team can guard both of us... Pick your poison."

I think the Baylor game will be a much bigger test of where this team is at. But the fact they've consistently score 90+ points in 3 games is a good sign, imo. Regardless of competition.

Another solid win for the Longhorns. Vokietaitis continues to impress, but one guy who's really starting to grow on me is Joe Sterling. Honestly, I didn't know much about him coming into this season, but the more I watch him, the more I like what I'm seeing. The shooting is impressive. 3-for-4 from beyond the arc tonight, and he looks comfortable letting it fly. This freshman class is showing some real promise. If Sterling keeps shooting like this and continues to develop, Texas may have a pretty special player on its hands. I'm becoming a believer!

Grambling State has Duke and Kentucky on the schedule, but Crarey told reporters at SWAC media day that Texas will probably be the most talented team the Tigers play this season. "When you've got a potential No. 1 or No. 2 pick in 2028 coming off your bench, you're a really good basketball team," he said.

Crarey on Marcus Spears Jr., who he saw at a TABC event this summer: "What he's done with his body in the four months he's been here is crazy."

I don't think they'll be forced to go back to 8 or 7 conference games, but the playoff system creates incentives that could push some conferences in that direction.

Crarey: "This is like a real Sean Miller defensive team."

If he wouldn’t have scored, the clock would have ticked down to around 40 seconds. Even with a missed 27 yard FG, you are asking Missouri to go 90 yards in 40 seconds to tie the game. I’d like our chances.

Crarey saw David Punch two years ago when he was a freshman at TCU (Crarey was the head coach at Florida A&M). He said Punch fits in perfectly with what Texas is trying to do this season. "He's the glue guy," Crarey said.

Grambling State coach Patrick Crarey II: "My opening statement is that Texas is very good. Vokietaitis is un-guardable. Sean Miller has been great coach, probably, since I was in middle school."

AUSTIN, Texas — With a game-high 26 points by Matas Vokietaitis leading five players in double figures, No. 7 Texas rolled to a 93-62 win over Grambling State on Monday. The Longhorns never trailed in their last tune-up before facing their first Power Four opponent of the season. Texas (3-0) will face Baylor at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center on Sunday, renewing a rivalry that was put on the shelf after the Longhorns left the Big 12 for the SEC after the 2023-24 season. While Vokietaitis led Texas in scoring, Sean Miller’s talented freshmen made their presence felt. Joe Sterling (13 points, 3-for-4 from 3-point range and two steals) and Marcus Spears Jr. (12 points, four rebounds and two assists) reached double figures in scoring, with Austin Goosby and Bo Ogden making the most of the minutes they’re getting as Mikey Lewis recovers from a foot injury, which required surgery (Oct. 1). Vokietaitis recorded at least 10 points and five rebounds for the 18th consecutive regular-season game. He has the longest such streak by a Texas player since Kevin Durant reached those marks in the last 21 games of his lone season on the Forty Acres. View full news story
