After a disheartening loss to rival Texas A&M in its SEC opener Saturday, Texas basketball (11-3, 0-1 SEC) gets a chance to quickly make amends against No. 2 Auburn (8 p.m. Tuesday, ESPN2).
The Longhorns flashed their potential in the first half against the No. 9 Aggies before A&M muscled its way to an 80-60 win. The two teams were tied 37-37 after a scintillating first half, but Texas A&M scored 48 points in the paint and added 24 from the free-throw line while pounding Texas inside.
Auburn (13-1, 1-0) will try and do the same with a lineup that showcases 6-foot-10, 240-pound Johni Broome (18.6 points, 11.1 rebounds a game) and includes 6-11, 255-pound Dylan Cardwell. After Saturday’s loss in College Station, Texas coach Rodney Terry spoke about “what’s in the chest” mattering more than size when it comes to battling in the paint. Texas will try and prove its coach right against Auburn.
