In another fast paces game Coach Morris had his Tigers up to par to beat the Texas LongHorns. "I think our boys are very tired, we have been running, running, running. In practice we barley run because we know its going to be a track meet during the games we focus on defense and shooting. I think its paying off, we are really playing great after a sloppy start. Our bigs are finnally clicking as a tandem down low. Booker and Baciu are picking up easy transition buckets and drawing the collapse so our guards can shoot open looks from the wings. Stitt finally has the dribble drive under control and we look to roll the rest of December in pretty easy until we go to the Dean Dome January 6."
