Disappointing Execution as Longhorns Fall in Maui
In the first true test of the season, Texas failed. The Longhorns fell to 3-1 with an 81-80 loss to No. 8 Notre Dame in the second round of the Maui Invitational.

Specifically, conversation was diverted away from Augustin and onto AJ Abrams who surprised...

Rick Barnes got huge games from AJ...
Morning Coffee
