UT-Austin defeats Mavericks in long-awaited rematch

AUSTIN, Texas — Over two years after its historic win against UT-Austin, the men’s basketball team (4-9) returned to the Frank Erwin Center on Friday, but this time, the Longhorns emerged victorious.

Back in 2016, UTA defeated UT-Austin 72-61. The next day, headlines across The Shorthorn's weekly print edition read "Hooked on a win." In the rematch, turnovers and foul trouble proved costly for the Mavericks as the Longhorns cruised to a 76-56 victory Friday.

Hey everyone! @reeseoxner and I are booking it to Austin today to see @UTA_MBB face off against @TexasMBB.
