AUSTIN, Texas (AP) --- Tramon Mark led six Texas players in double figures,
scoring 18 points and Matas Vokietaitis recorded a double-double and the
Longhorns beat Le Moyne 95-53 on Tuesday night.
Texas never trailed, and it was the Longhorns' (8-4) largest margin of victory
this season. It was the Longhorn's first contest since their Friday loss to
fifth-ranked UConn, 71-63.
Vokietaitis scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Dailyn Swain scored 15
points, and Jordan Pope and reserve Simeon Wilcher each scored 11 and Camden
Heide 10.
Texas shot 50% (34 of 68) including 32% (10 of 31) from 3-point range.
Trent Mosquera scored 14 points, reserve Jakai Sanders 12 and Deng Garang 10
for the Northeastern Conference Dolphins (5-6).
The Longhorns reached their first double-digit lead (25-15) with a pair of foul
shots by Mark with 10:28 left in the first half. A 13-0 run that took just
two-and-a-half minutes put Texas up 38-18 with 6:43 left before halftime. The
Dolphins responded with a 12-3 run to close the half and reduced their deficit
to 41-30.
Texas went on to erupt for a 54-point second half on the back of a
54.3%-shooting effort (19 of 35).
It was the first meeting between the schools.
