Quickly handing the ball over the court, the prom, the Guardian, Tramon Mark, found an open guard of freshman Trew Johnson standing in the corner in front of the three -point line.
With three seconds remaining on the clock, Johnson made his shot. If he enters, Longhorns would have focused on overtime to continue trying to win the enemy with a third harm. But the sound of the ball bouncing from the rim was quickly followed by cheers, erupting from the rebellious home crowd.
Ole Miss should not have to face another close devastation of the game. With the final result of 72-69, Ole’s chief coach Miss Chris Beard received his first victory against his former team and interrupted the loss of three games of the team.
“We know the relationship between the two programs and we know that they came out of a few losses, so they will be a kind of desperate team, trying to come back and start,” Johnson said before the match.
The rebel’s despair became bloody on both sides of the court, with three Longhorn and one rebel has four personal fouls. One rebel had to leave the court to patch his elbow until another lost contact lens. For Texas, the head and lips of a graduate of Kadin Cyrryn were bleeding until the end of the night after fighting for the ball from the glass.
Not just a Christmas is fighting for the ball under the net. Texas plays well from the glass as a whole, ending the night with 42 rebounds, nine more than Ole Miss. While a Crase finished the night with six rebounds, senior striker Arthur Kaluma led the team with seven and four assists.
Kaluma’s physicality in court, focusing on the net, allowed him to create opportunities that would not otherwise be possible with Ole Miss’s aggressive defense.
And against this protection, Texas fights to protect the basketball. Through 11 rpm, Texas gave Ole Miss 13 points.
“We just know what we will take and what to do,” Johnson said before the match. “We know our identity better than our several games, knowing that we need to play defense the way we have played lately if we want a shot at victory.”
While their protection was playing at the level they needed, Longhorns failed to withdraw with a close victory as A&M No. 13.
Texas will play LSU on Saturday, February 1st, at 5:00 pm to try to win home.
