Less than a minute into Tuesday’s Maui Invitational game between the No. 17 Texas Longhorns and the Indiana Hoosiers, Texas junior guard Courtney Ramey hit a three-pointer to give the Longhorns a 3-0 lead.
Head coach Shaka Smart’s team never looked back, leading from buzzer to buzzer in a blowout 66-44 victory that earned the Horns a shot at the Maui Invitational championship on Wednesday against the winner of No. 14 North Carolina and Stanford at 3 p.m. Central on ESPN.
For a second straight game, Texas struggled to defend without fouling, putting multiple players in foul trouble by halftime.
