The Longhorns passed their first challenge against Gonzaga but face another at home
Creighton center Ryan Kalkbrenner, dunking against Arkansas, will be the next big challenge for Texas.AUSTIN — The No. 2 team in the country has made winning look so easy this season.
Any way you slice it, coach Chris Beard’s team has been imposing, ruthless and surprisingly electric playing a more up-tempo style than last year’s occasionally ponderous group. And while the Longhorns’ 19-point home win over then-No. 2 Gonzaga provided some early-season validation, it lacked any semblance of drama.No. 7 Creighton is coming off a statement trip to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational. The Blue Jays downed No. 21 Texas Tech and No. 9 Arkansas before falling to No.
“I think all championship-quality teams have an identity and Creighton definitely has one. Coach McDermott’s teams are explosive offensively. His team's balance is always very noticeable. They put a lot of pressure on you defensively.” The 6-10 Timme finished with 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting against Texas, but he committed five turnovers and was neutralized before the game turned into a rout in the second half.
