Young Longhorns Off to Slow, yet Promising Start

The Longhorns erased a 17-point deficit and defeated South Alabama 84-77 on Tuesday night, moving to 2-0 on the season.

Junior Jonathan Holmes led Texas with 23 points, including 15 in the second half, and finished one rebound shy of his second career double-double.

Though the Longhorns brought home another double-u, their unblemished record is not enough to pass the eye test. Despite being undefeated in this very young season, Texas’ 12th-straight 2-0 start under head coach Rick Barnes, the Longhorns are off to a shaky start.
