On Wednesday evening, the No. 11 Texas Longhorns host the No. 2 Gonzaga Bulldogs in the season’s premier non-conference matchup and the biggest game in the short history of the Moody Center.
Head coach Chris Beard’s team is looking for revenge after last season’s 86-74 loss in which the final score didn’t reflect how badly the Bulldogs beat the Longhorns in Spokane — Gonzaga led by 20 points at halftime before cruising to an easy victory behind a career-high 37 points from star forward Drew Timme, who dominated Texas inside by hitting 15-of-19 shots from the field.
