Following Sunday’s 76-65 loss to the UConn Huskies, the Texas Longhorns are back at the Moody Center on Thursday night hosting the New Mexico State Aggies looking for a bounce-back performance.
Tip is at 7:00 p.m. Central on SEC Network+.
Against the Huskies, the Longhorns struggled on both ends of the floor in the first half as Dan Hurley’s team started the game on a 22-6 run.
Defensively, the Texas staff wanted to switch on screens, but UConn’s high-level execution taking advantage of the resulting mismatches had a decisive impact on the early lead and eventual outcome as the second-half comeback by the Longhorns fell short.
