The Texas Longhorns did not mess around tonight. With Texas A&M awaiting the winner of Texas and Texas Southern, the Longhorns did not want to squander the chance to meet their longtime rivals at home in the winners bracket.
The Longhorns put up a 10 spot on Texas Southern to earn a shutout victory. Statement made.
Texas starter Chase Shugart did exactly what I hoped he would do in this game. Shugart had great command of his stuff and worked with great tempo. He looked completely comfortable out there tonight on the big stage. Something we haven’t seen too often from the Texas junior.
