Second game in a row Matas has been put on a poster

Bro is so soft….

Anyone ever fouled out in the 1st half before?

True but Traore looked like his feet were cemented to the floor. 

[Jordan91]

Traore and Matas were on the floor together for about a minute. 

[Jordan91]

Got to love that effort to get back. 

[Jeff Howe]

Texas had a nice 7-0 run going.

A nice drive by Swain gets Texas back in front, 34-33.

[Jordan91]

Never fails. Pope missed the front end of a one and one. Kentucky hits a three. 

[Jeff Howe]

Seven offensive rebounds for Kentucky. Way too many second-chance opportunities.

[Jeff Howe]

I don't like either of the last two fouls committed by Texas. Swain swiped at Moreno and Mark threw his body into a Chandler.

[Jeff Howe]

It's a tie game, 38-38, with 39.7 seconds left in the half.

HALFTIME: Texas 40, Kentucky 40

[Jeff Howe]

Tramon Mark had six points in the first half, all of them inside the final six minutes.

[CJ Vogel]

Strong first half for Texas on the road. 

[Jordan91]

Well, I hope they decide to give effort in the second half. 

[Jeff Howe]

That was about as evenly played a first half as you'll see. Texas was 1-for-9 on 3-pointers in the first half, but the Longhorns compensated elsewhere with 26 points in the paint (a 26-18 edge).

Seems a little hesitant. I will settle for defense all game long. He has games where he disappears. Coach Miller has been able to get him playing defense the entire game.
