AUSTIN, Texas — Arguably the best half of basketball all season for the Texas Longhorns created massive separation against the Grand Canyon Antelopes to provide all the margin necessary for a 98-60 victory on Saturday evening at the Erwin Center.
The shooting cooled off slightly to end the first half, but the Horns still ended the opening 20 minutes hitting 68.8 percent from the field and 58.8 percent from three-point range. Defensively, Texas forced seven turnovers and blocked four shots.
Four players finished the first half without missing a shot — sophomore guard Matt Coleman, senior guard Kerwin Roach II, freshman forward Jaxson Hayes, and junior guard Elijah Mitrou-Long — led by Roach’s 12 points.
