Will Baker and Andrew Jones Lead Longhorns To Victory

Will Baker and Andrew Jones combined for 41 points as they led the Texas Longhorns to victory over TCU for the season sweep.

It was all Will Baker early on in this game against the TCU Horned Frogs, Baker had scored just 16 points all season before Wednesday night. Baker came to play with Jase Febres and Jericho Sims still out for the Longhorns. He finished the game with a season-high 20 points.

The Longhorns fell behind at halftime 38-36 but a strong second half helped lead the Longhorns to a season sweep of TCU. Texas outscored the Frogs by 16 in the second half for the win, down the stretch Andrew Jones took over as the go to option. Jones finished with a game-high 21 points.

The big story in this game was the bench play from Baker and Kai Jones. The duo combined for 30 points, with Jones providing 10 points, six rebounds and two blocks to give the Longhorns a presence in the paint.

As has been the case for Texas all year, live by the three and die by the three. The Longhorns shot 60 percent from behind the arc and they limited the Frogs to just three of 18 from deep. Baker hit four of six and Jones added three of five to lead the team.

Texas has just five games left on the season with Kansas State coming up on Saturday as they look to sweep the Wildcats.
