The Longhorns finished up their Australian exhibition tour with a loss to the Illawarra Hawks early Monday morning.

The 88–60 defeat clinched a 2–2 record for the four-game stint against teams from the country's National Basketball League and Australia State League.

Andrew Jones followed up his game-winner against Cairns Taipans with another solid outing, chipping in a team-high 18 points. The sophomore guard finished 4-of-8 from beyond the arc, just one game after drilling 3-of-4 triples.

Texas' freshmen also impressed in the contest, with forward Jericho Sims dropping 10 points and center Mohamed Bamba collecting nine points and seven boards.
