The Texas Longhorns continued to cruise on Friday night, overcoming a competitive first half en route to a dominant 88-58 win over UT Rio Grande Valley, to improve to 6-1.
Here are a few initial thoughts from Texas latest win.
Texas has to quit letting teams hang around. Courtesy of a late 9-0, UTRGV headed into the half only trailing by five — 46-41. Of course, Texas blew it open immediately after the break, erupting for a 31-5 run to quickly turn that five-point lead into a 31-point cushion, but still, the Horns have let some severely overmatched teams hang around before taking control in the second half.
