About the Longhorns: Jacob Young had one of the most understated performances on Saturday against Louisiana Tech. With Andrew Jones and Eric Davis Jr. both sidelined by wrist injuries, Young got the starting nod and had 10 points on 4 of 9 shooting. He also did not have a turnover in a season-high 27 minutes. ? Free throws continue to dog the Horns. They made only 8 of 16 from the stripe in the first half against the Bulldogs and finished the game hitting almost 62 percent total. ? Sophomore center James Banks saw limited action on Saturday after not playing in four of the previous six games. He had two points and five rebounds and one block.
