In the midst of a five-game homestand, the No. 8 Texas Longhorns host the San Jose State Spartans on Saturday at the Erwin Center in the second game of the Abe Lemons Classic.
Texas held Northern Colorado to 49 points by forcing 20 turnovers on Wednesday, but head coach Chris Beard was frustrated after the game because the Longhorns were outscored by 11 points in the second half by the Bears. So Texas is looking for a more complete performance against the 1-2 Spartans.
Better guard play would help — senior guard Andrew Jones only scored four points in 26 minutes against Northern Colorado on 1-of-8 shooting.
