HIGHLIGHTS: No. 11 Texas entertains in win over No. 2 Gonzaga

Looking at big moments from Texas’ memorable night.

Texas basketball reintroduced itself to Longhorn Nation on Wednesday. The win emphatically announced the arrival of Chris Beard’s squad among college basketball’s top teams.

The University of Texas is traditionally known for its football and baseball, but Beard might presently be elevating basketball as the top dog at the school.

Multiple players shined in the Longhorns’ huge win over the No. 2 team in the nation. Four players reached double figures in scoring.

Transfer newcomers made their mark for Texas. Tyrese Hunter scored 26 points while Sir’Jabari Rice scored 11 points off the bench.

Returning Longhorns did their part on the night led by Marcus Carr’s 16-point night. Dylan Disu added 12 points.

Let’s look at some of the best moments from the program’s signature win of Chris Beard’s tenure.

No. 11 Texas buries No. 2 Gonzaga, 93-74

Texas basketball secures its most impressive win in recent memory.

Texas basketball looked like a Top 10 team on Wednesday night. Frankly, the Longhorns could have beaten any team in the country with their performance against Gonzaga.

Heading into the game, Gonzaga ranked No. 2 in the country. The basketball powerhouse had plenty going for itself, but they had no answer for Tyrese Hunter or Marcus Carr.

The Longhorns’ dynamic duo set the basket on fire from three point range. Carr went 4-for-7 on three point attempts, while Tyrese Hunter finished 5-for-8 from behind the arc. Hunter, Carr and Dylan Disu led the Texas offensive attack.

The stunned Gonzaga Bulldogs could never seem to climb their way back into the game.

Let’s break down what could mark the beginning of a special season for Texas.
