Faced with an opportunity to capture a key road win and continue to build a respectable NCAA Tournament résumé on the road against the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Texas Longhorns did exactly that, and did so in convincing fashion, cruising to a 75-53 win behind a bevy of runs and career showing from Courtney Ramey.
In what rapidly — though unsurprisingly — spiraled into a foul-plagued first half, Jaxson Hayes became the whistle-happy refs first victim. Hayes was whistled for his second foul just 2:34 into the action — at this juncture, Hayes’ foul total matched the point total, as the Longhorns captured the first points and a 2-0 lead.
