PaulieD Posted 40 minutes ago Posted 40 minutes ago 8 hours ago, Jeff Howe said: AUSTIN, Texas — Matas Vokietaitis’ game-high 22 points led five players in double figures as No. 7 Texas 109-59 cruised to a season-opening win over Chicago State at Moody Center on Monday. There were signs of the Longhorns fulfilling Sean Miller’s desire to play a better brand of defense in his second season on the Forty Acres. Texas (1-0) forced 15 turnovers, recorded eight steals and blocked six shots, four of which came from Marcus Spears Jr. The highly-touted freshman scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds off the bench in his collegiate debut. Spears headlined a productive opening night for the Longhorn freshmen. Austin Goosby (seven points, seven rebounds and eight assists) got the start alongside Vokietaitis, Isaiah Johnson (18 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals), Elyjah Freeman (five points and four rebounds) and David Punch (nine points, three rebounds and three assists). Joe Sterling scored 14 points (4-for-6 3-pointers) off the bench and Bo Ogden (eight points, two rebounds and two steals) played well in 14 minutes. View full news story Jeff, Good read. re David Punch - how was his contribution? Sounds like Spears was the highlight reel. Also any recommendations for rewatching game or getting some clips? Thanks, P Quote

MarkInAustin Posted 21 minutes ago Posted 21 minutes ago I think Johnson will have to play a lot of minutes against good teams, at least until Lewis is all the way back. Quote
