AUSTIN – Texas coach Shaka Smart knows how to exploit a mismatch, even when the focal point of that advantage is a player — in this case senior center Prince Ibeh — who is usually challenged to produce offensively.

The Longhorns got a surprising career-high 17 points and 10 rebounds from Ibeh and a career-high 22 points from high-flying freshman guard Kerwin Roach, Jr., as Texas built a big lead in the first half and cruised to a 71-54 win Tuesday against TCU in a Big 12 matchup at the Frank Erwin Center.
