The No. 17 Texas Longhorns took an early lead and never looked back in an easy 63-31 win against the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions on Tuesday evening at the Erwin Center, expectedly trouncing one of the worst teams in Division 1 basketball.
Texas held Arkansas-Pine Bluff to 30.8-percent shooting and forced 20 turnovers — a full third of the possessions for the Golden Lions. Junior forward Tre Mitchell was the only double-digit scorer for the Horns, leading the way with 14 points.
Texas head coach Chris Beard changed up his starting lineup after the disappointing road loss last Thursday, re-inserting senior guard Andrew Jones and giving sophomore guard Devin Askew his first start for the Longhorns.
