AUSTIN, Texas — Graduate guard Sir'Jabari Rice posted a game-high 19 points to pace No. 4/4 Texas (5-0) to a 91-54 victory against UTRGV (4-3) on Saturday afternoon at historic Gregory Gymnasium in the final game of the Leon Black Classic. The Leon Black Classic honored the late Texas men's basketball player and assistant coach who also served as head coach of the Longhorns for nine seasons from 1967-76. Black passed away at the age of 89 last year.
The contest was played before a sellout crowd of 3,500 inside Gregory Gym. This marked the second straight year that the Longhorns played a regular-season contest in the historic on-campus gym.
