With their first matchup being postponed, this is the first game between Texas and TCU this year. The Horned Frogs (11-7) are coming off a win against Iowa State and the Longhorns defeated Kansas State after a rough 1-4 game stretch.
Texas has held the lead for the first half and have seemingly established a constant control of the flow of the game with impressive performances from Andrew Jones and Greg Brown.
TCU’s only consistent scoring threat has been junior guard R.J. Nembhard who’s 4-for-11 from the field, including 2-of-3 from 3-point line, but the Longhorns have done a good job of containing other TCU players from scoring.
If the Longhorns defense can better contain Nembhard, especially from beyond the 3-point line, they should be able to walk out with a win at the rate they’re on.
Leading Scorers in the first half:
Andrew Jones: 13 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist
R.J. Nembhard: 10 points, 5 rebounds
Greg Brown: 8 points, 3 rebounds
