AUSTIN, Texas — A sluggish start from the field gave way to a major second-half surge for the Texas Longhorns, who used a 16-0 run over six minutes beginning with 12:09 remaining to pull out a 65-55 victory over the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks in a flawed performance.
However, that six-minute stretch was enough for the Longhorns to move to 3-0 on the season after largely playing even with the Warhawks throughout the rest of the game.
During the game-deciding run, Texas was able to force turnovers and swarm Louisiana-Monroe defensively and get to the basket on offense, including in transition.
