Shorthanded Longhorns dismantle K-State, 82-67
American-Statesman-USA TODAY NETWORK Without three key contributors, including forwards Greg Brown III and Kai Jones, a shorthanded No. 4 Texas Longhorns squad had few issues with the also-shorthanded Kansas State Wildcats, turning an explosive first-half run into an insurmountable lead and ultimately, an 82-67 win.
The Texas offense opened the game in a decisive and efficient fashion, as Jericho Sims picked up where he left off with five early points to guide the Longhorns to an 8-2 edge. K-State quickly returned the favor with an 8-2 run of its own behind a pair of threes from Rudi Williams and Mike McGuirl.
