AUSTIN, Texas — Drew Timme and the No. 2 Gonzaga Bulldogs are in Austin to face off against the No. 11 Texas Longhorns at the Moody Center on Wednesday evening in a matchup of two undefeated teams.
Last season, the Bulldogs used a career-high 37 points from Timme to handle the Longhorns easily in Spokane, but this Texas team is more cohesive in the second season under head coach Chris Beard and more athletic with the additions of guard Tyrese Hunter and forward Dillon Mitchell. Both factors have contributed to the Horns playing more often and more effectively in the open court, opening the season with a 43-1 advantage in fast-break points.
