No Swain, no Matas, but Texas leads 10-3 after Mark's three-point play.

Texas 7, A&M 3 15:55 to go, 1H

On the floor: Pope, Weaver, Mark, Heide and Codie

Good lord. Swain picks up his second at the 16:35 mark.

Can't ask for two better looks than the ones Heide and Mark got after breaking the press.

Make it four team fouls before the first media timeout.

Three team fouls charged to Texas in the first two minutes.

With Matas already battling foul trouble, Texas needs a massive game from Swain.

Mark picked Hill's pocket, but he slipped and lost the ball. Even worse, Matas picked up his second foul and has already been lifted for Nic Codie.

Sean Miller still isn't happy with the call.

I think this is a Sean Miller challenge for a possible flagrant foul. I guess on Agee?

I hope that's not an omen. Matas is called for a foul on the opening tip. His first foul comes one second into the game.

We're underway at 3:10 p.m.

You haven't heard the Aggies chant until you've heard about 15,000 of them do it in an arena where the roof traps the sound.

ICYMI, Lassina Traore (knee) is out again today. He last played in the team's home win over South Carolina on Feb. 3.
