Tre Johnson scored 17 points to lead four Texas scorers in double figures, and the Longhorns beat Saint Joseph's 67-58 to win the Legends Classic championship on Friday in New York City.
Texas (5-1) went back-and-forth with Saint Joseph's (4-2) for much of the first half before taking a 32-26 lead into halftime. The Longhorns opened the second half with a 12-2 run that enabled them to stay ahead and secure the win in the end.
Johnson's performance was instrumental in securing the win for Texas, but he had some help along the way. Other key contributors for the Longhorns included three other players who scored in double figures - Arterio Morris, Jaylon Tyson, and Dillon Mitchell.
Texas' balanced scoring attack was a key factor in their win over Saint Joseph's. The four scorers in double figures were able to stay one step ahead of their opponents and control the tempo of the game. This allowed the Longhorns to maintain their lead throughout the game and secure the championship in the Legends Classic.
In addition to their impressive offense, the Longhorns also showcased their defensive capabilities, holding Saint Joseph's to just 58 points. This was a testament to their overall strength as a team and demonstrated that they have the capabilities to excel on both ends of the court.
Now that Texas has secured the championship in the Legends Classic, they will look to build on the momentum they have gained. With a record of 5-1, the Longhorns are off to a strong start this season and will be looking to continue their winning ways as they head into their upcoming games.
It remains to be seen how they will perform in the coming weeks, but based on their recent performance, it is clear that Texas is a team to watch. With a talented roster and the ability to dominate on both offense and defense, the Longhorns have the potential to make a deep run this season.
