Texas Basketball Rebounds with Lone Star Showdown Win

0:00On March 2nd, Texas men's basketball team got the revenge on Texas A&M, pulling out a 76-70 win in college station. It was the second match of this season, after the long horns dropped the first one back in January. This lone star showdown victory puts Texas back on track, heading into the final stretch. The offense clicked with bow and scoring from four players and double figures. Guard Tramon Mark led with 23 points on 7-13 shooting, his first 20-plus games since late January. Jordan Pope added 17. Cinter Mata's Vokia Titus had 14 points and 7 rebounds on 6 of 7 shots, and Dalynsway notched 11. Points with 10 boards for his 7th double-double. Fans noticed the same old fouling woes hurting the team. Texas sent the Aggies to the line 23 times, with A&M making 19 free throws. The long horns average 18.8 fouls per game. Fourth most in the SEC, and coach Sean Miller has called it a season-long virus they need.

1:02To shake, on a brighter note, defense stepped up big with nine blocks from seven different players. Sophomore forward Nick Cody paced them with three swats, plus four rebounds in 18 minutes, even without scoring. As Texas eyes a spot in March madness, cleaning up those fouls could make all the difference in a deep postseason run.
