ESPNU at 1.

First big 12 game and the return of Isaiah Taylor. Not sure how many minutes Taylor will play in his first game back

• Texas has won 11 of the last 12 and 18 of the last 20 games against Tech.

• Texas is 30-4 against Texas Tech during the Rick Barnes era.

[SIZE=10pt]• [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]Senior forward Jonathan Holmes enters Saturday's[/SIZE] game just ONE point shy of reaching the 1,000-point mark in his career. He will become the 34th player in UT history to reach the milestone.

[SIZE=10pt]• [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]Freshman forward Myles Turner leads the team in blocks (35) and is second in scoring (12.0 ppg) and tied for second in rebounding (6.7 rpg). He posted a team-high 16 points in his first career start against Rice on Monday[/SIZE].

• The Longhorns own a 12-4 mark in Big 12 openers during the Rick Barnes era (since the 1998-99 season).

Sending a message to his other bigs. You have to rebound and play defense.

5-5 early. Always difficult to win conference games on the road. Our size is giving Tech problems though. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

11-9 Texas at the 12 minute mark. Texas is killing Tech inside, but entirely too many turnovers. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

15-13 Texas at the 7:20 mark. Our size is creating all types of problems but we already have 10 turnovers. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

24-16 Texas at the 4 minute mark. Felix is actually playing well.

Ya'll keep the updates coming.  Other than checking internet scores we can't follow the game in the press box at the Alamodome.

i hope Turner stays around another year. He is going to be a beast. Taylor is not going to be himself for a while. Hope he gets over the injury ( mentally ) soon. We need his drives and made buckets on said drives. You can tell its in the back of his mind right now, as it would be for anyone in his shoes. We should be solid when he is 100% as we are learning to be tough and play with people in our face. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

That first 12 minutes was hard to watch. Both teams are flowing a bit better now. 2 minutes until halftime, 24-20 Texas,

 

[utisdabomb12]

31-22 Texas at the half. Great defensive half, the offense is still a work in progress. Great half from Felix. We are killing them with our size. Not a bad half for Taylor in his first game back. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

49-35 Texas at the 14 minute mark. Texas is destroying Tech inside. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Wow not sure what Texas is doing here at the end of this game? We were up 20 and now it's a 7 point game with 1:13 left. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Texas wins. 12-2 and 1-0 in the Big 12. Oklahoma on deck next in Austin. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Tubby Smith is going to win at Tech. He's a good one.

Got too close for comfort at the end. Another win.
