The Texas Longhorns took advantage of an opportunity to pick up a Quad 1 win over an overmatched opponent by going into Baton Rouge on Saturday and bludgeoning the LSU Tigers, 89-58, behind a second-half surge.
After going into halftime with a six-point lead, Texas used a 16-2 run early in the second half to open up a margin that reached as many as 33 points late in the game as the Longhorns shot almost 70 percent over the final 20 minutes, scoring 30 points in the paint and 14 points off 15 forced turnovers, including six steals.
