No. 7 Texas thumps Grambling State, 93-62
AUSTIN — In another businesslike performance by the No. 7 Texas Longhorns to start the season, head coach Sean Miller’s team took control early and didn’t allow much rhythm to the Grambling State Tigers until late in the contest at the Moody Center on Monday in a 93-62 victory.
A big second half propelled junior center Matas Vokietaitis to a game-high 26 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the floor and 10-of-12 shooting from the free-throw line, including 15 points after halftime as the big Lithuanian hit all four of his shot attempts and all seven of his free throws, adding four rebounds.
