The Longhorns finished just 25-of-63 from the field, including 4-of-20 from long distance.<\/p>\n Despite Texas struggling to score, the Roos failed to find their own scoring touch enough over that stretch to capitalize, only pulling to within eight points.<\/p>\n Texas built on the cushion and effectively put the game to bed with a 12-0 run, capped on Jordan Pope’s jumper with 4:25 remaining that pushed the Longhorns lead to 20 points.<\/p>\n His contribution to the run marked Pope’s only points on an afternoon reflective of the overall Texas shooting woes, as he went 1-of-11 from the floor. Matas Vokietaitis, who scored 12 points, shot 3-of-7 from the field but a woeful 6-of-12 at the free-throw line.<\/p>\n Texas went just 17-of-28 at the charity stripe, missing three more times than Kansas City generated total attempts. The Roos were 6-of-8 at the foul line.<\/p>\n Dailyn Swain, the Longhorns leading scorer with 13 points, made his one free-throw attempt and went 6-of-9 from the field.<\/p>\n Kansas City’s CJ Evans led all scorers with 17 points and broke the Roos’ 3-point drought, his triple coming almost 39 minutes into the contest. Evans was the only Roo to dish more than one assist, finishing with three.<\/p>\n Chendall Weaver, who scored all five of his points off the bench on free throws, distributed four assists for Texas. Vokietaitis led all rebounders with eight.<\/p>\n –Field Level Media<\/p>\n Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab<\/a><\/p>\n
