Five different Longhorns reach double figures in scoring during Tuesday’s win at the Southwest Maui Invitational.
MAUI, Hawaii — Graduate guard Tramon Mark posted a team-best 19 points to lead Texas (5-2) to a decisive 119-78 victory against Chaminade (2-3) on Tuesday night at the Lahaina Civic Center in a consolation bracket contest at the Southwest Maui Invitational. With the win, the Longhorns advance to the tournament's 5th-Place game and will face No. 23/22 NC State on Wednesday, Nov. 26 at 8:30 p.m. CT (4:30 p.m. HT) on ESPN2.
Texas tied a program single-game record for highest rebound margin at plus-39 (59-20) and tied the ninth-highest single-game scoring total (119 points) in the 41-point victory. UT's 65.8-percent (48-73) field goal shooting marked the fourth-highest single-game field goal percentage in program history (since 1961-62), and the 48 field goals made marked the fourth-highest single-game total in program history (since 1932-33).
Mark paced a total of five Longhorns in double-figure scoring, as he converted 7-of-13 field goals, including tying a career high by hitting 4-of-7 threes, and added six assists and six rebounds in 23 minutes. Junior Dailyn Swain posted 18 points (8-11 FG), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in 26 minutes, and sophomore Matas Vokietaitis registered 16 points (7-7 FG), nine boards and tied his career high with three blocks in 20 minutes.
Senior Jordan Pope tallied 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 threes) and tied his career high with eight assists against just one turnover in 26 minutes, and junior Simeon Wilcher posted 12 points (4-8 FG) and two steals in 22 minutes. Graduate Lassina Traore grabbed a season-high 14 rebounds and added nine points in just 14 minutes of action.
Texas jumped out to an 8-3 lead following a Jordan Pope jumper at the 18:11 mark, but Chaminade answered with an 8-0 spurt to take an 11-8 advantage after a Nate Sasser III dunk with 14:39 remaining. A pair of Sasser III free throws gave the Silverswords a 13-12 edge at the 13:20 mark, before the Longhorns used a 6-0 run over the next 90 seconds to grab an 18-13 cushion following a Tramon Mark layup with 11:40 left.
A Nathan Medina three-pointer trimmed the margin to 22-18 at the 10:20 mark, before Texas went on an 11-2 run over the next three-and-a-half minutes to increase its cushion to 33-20 after a Vokietaitis three-point play with 6:45 remaining. The Longhorns steadily built its advantage to as much as 22 points (50-28) following a Pope layup at the 1:18 mark, before a late surge by the Silverswords cut the deficit to 52-36 at the break.
A Vokietaitis dunk gave Texas a 56-38 advantage with 19:14 left, but Chaminade responded with a quick 5-0 spurt to trim the margin to 56-43 following a Medina jumper at the 18:40 mark. The Longhorns answered with an 11-0 run over the next two minutes to increase their cushion to 67-43 after a Swain layup in transition with 16:59 remaining.
The Silverswords pulled to within 70-52 following a Medina three-pointer at the 13:43 mark, but that was as close as they would get for the remainder of the contest. After a Kris King jumper cut the deficit to 81-60 with 11:33 left, Texas went on a 19-3 run over the next five minutes to build a 100-63 advantage following a Traore free throw at the 6:49 mark and cruised home to the win.
