No. 3 Houston defeats Texas, 82-61

Texas stays on the NCAA Tournament bubble in a blowout loss to Houston.

The Houston Cougars (22-3) shellacked the Texas Longhorns (16-9) on Saturday. The loss continues the Longhorns’ recent trend of following a win with a loss in Big 12 play.

Texas falls to 2-4 in its last six games. It’s not the stretch the team hoped for after a slow start to conference play. While the effort was there for the Longhorns early, the game wasn’t close.

Houston reached 60 points before Texas scored 40. The Cougars weren’t all that efficient from the three-point line either. The team built a decisive early lead despite a 2-for-10 start from three-point range. They finished 8-for-23 from behind the arc.

Texas’ didn’t have many good offensive performances on the day. Texas guard Max Abmas shot a disappointing 2-for-14 from the field with seven points. The closest to a good offensive performance came from Texas forward Dylan Disu who scored 16 points on 5-for-13 shooting. Forward Chendall Weaver added 11 points.

With six games remaining, the Longhorns have two losses to spare to comfortably reach the NCAA Tournament with 20 wins. The final six games are home battles with Kansas State, Oklahoma State and No. 25 Oklahoma, and road trips to face No. 6 Kansas, Texas Tech and No. 12 Baylor.

Texas Basketball: Preparation begins for a rematch with No. 3 Houston

The Longhorns face another tough test against the Houston Cougars.

It’s crunch time in college basketball. Teams on the bubble across the country are looking to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Texas is one of those teams.

The Texas Longhorns (16-8) face the Houston Cougars (21-3) on Saturday. With no game in between now and then, the Longhorns should have plenty of time to prepare. They’re going to need it.

The two teams faced earlier this season in the Moody Center in Austin. Texas battled back from an 11-point second half deficit to send the game to overtime, but the better team separated. Houston won the game on an 11-7 overtime period, 76-72.

Fast forward to Saturday where Texas will again face one of the top NCAA title contenders on the road. The venue ramps up the degree of difficulty for the Longhorns and head coach Rodney Terry.

Houston doesn’t often lose at home. The Cougars are 13-0 when playing at the Fertitta Center in Houston. Terry and company will be due significant credit if they can find a way to win.

The battle for Texas will come down to rebounding perhaps more than anything else. Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson reiterated the importance of rebounding following the Cougars’ win over the Longhorns stating that rebounding has been key to his teams’ success. It wasn’t coachspeak.

Houston won the rebounding battle in the last matchup, 47-36. In a game that went to overtime, a disparity that wide can change the outcome.

Texas is still an unfinished product. Even in Saturday’s 94-58 win over West Virginia, the Mountaineers brought in more rebounds than the Longhorns. It took Dylan Disu shooting 7-for-10 from the three point line to earn that margin of victory.

Despite room for growth, the Longhorns played well in spurts in recent losses to Houston and Iowa State. They will look to put it all together in a big game at 12 p.m. CT on CBS.

Texas comes up short in overtime vs. Houston, 76-72

The recurring theme of the Texas basketball season following a close Houston loss is “too little, too late.”

Texas gave a valiant effort against the Houston Cougars on Monday night. Like too many times in the young season, the Longhorns came up just short.

Houston built a sizable lead early on in the game. The Cougars led by as many as 12 points in the first half and held a 41-30 lead early in the second half before the Longhorns battled their way back into the game.

After falling behind by 11 points with over 18 minutes left in the second half, Texas stormed back building as much as a 54-48 lead. Houston answered back with a 9-0 run taking a lead of its own.

The Longhorns fought to the end taking the game to overtime. The Cougars outlasted them.

The recurring theme of the game for Texas was consistently falling just short of success. On too many defensive possessions, the Longhorns allowed offensive rebounds and second opportunities. On too many offensive possessions, the team settled for bad shots that missed.

In the grand scheme of the season, the Houston game isn’t going to be what prevents Texas from reaching its goals. Nevertheless, early losses to West Virginia and UCF made this game of added importance. The Longhorns simply couldn’t get it done.

Point guard and top scorer Max Abmas led Texas with 20 points on the game. Starting forward Dillon Mitchell added 16 points followed by fellow forward Dylan Disu’s 14-point game.

The Longhorns will next travel to Fort Worth to face No. 25 TCU. They fall to 14-7 on the season.

Texas basketball takes on No. 4 Houston on Monday night

The Texas Longhorns look to bounce back from their BYU loss against Houston on Monday night.

We have Monday night basketball in Austin. The Texas Longhorns (14-6) take on the No. 4 Houston Cougars (18-2) on ESPN.

The Cougars are beatable though it won’t be an easy task. The team’s two losses came on the road in Big 12 play against Iowa State (16-4) and TCU (15-5). Since the two losses, Houston is on a four-game winning streak with home victories over Texas Tech, UCF and Kansas State and a seven-point road win over BYU.

Texas will see one familiar face from another Big 12 squad in the game. Baylor transfer L.J. Cryer leads the Houston scoring attack with 15.2 points per game on a 40.7% field goal percentage and 38.7% three point shooting rate. Fellow guards Jamal Shead and Emmanuel Sharp average double-digit points opposite Cryer.

The Longhorns are looking to bounce back from a loss on Saturday against the BYU Cougars in Provo, 84-72. Certainly, there’s a lot of basketball left, but Texas’ margin for error is thinner after the loss.

Undoubtedly, Texas will need to play better defense than it did in its last game against BYU. With a road trip to face Houston on the horizon, the Longhorns might need to capitalize on the opportunity to add a resumé-boosting victory at home.

Generally speaking, a 10-loss or less season is a good barometer for a successful year for Texas in college basketball. For the Longhorns, that means a 7-4 finish in Big 12 play after starting 3-4 in conference. In short, that kind of ending to the season is unlikely with a loss on Monday given that eight of the team’s remaining 11 games are against ranked opponents.

Reserve guard Chendall Weaver could play a role in a Texas upset. Weaver broke out against Oklahoma with an attacking double-digit scoring night off the bench. He followed an 11-point performance against Oklahoma with a 15-point game against BYU. With baskets seemingly hard to come by for the Texas offense at times, Weaver’s consistent points at the basket could provide the team a higher floor.

Texas will look to get to 15 wins on the season when the team takes on the Houston Cougars at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN.
