AUSTIN -- The Longhorns fell to Providence, 71-65, on Friday night at the Frank Erwin Center after a sluggish second half on the offensive end. It was Texas' third home loss of the season.
Here are three takeaways from Friday's game:
1. Very up-and-down first half for Texas
Texas had a painfully slow start offensively and didn't score in the game until sophomore point guard Matt Coleman III converted a layup until the 16:04 mark.
But the Longhorns slowly started to wake up thanks to timely plays by freshman guard Courtney Ramey and freshman forward Jaxson Hayes.
