Texas is in the bonus at the 9:13 mark of the first half.

Second game in a row Matas has been put on a poster

Bro is so soft….

Anyone ever fouled out in the 1st half before?

True but Traore looked like his feet were cemented to the floor. 

Traore and Matas were on the floor together for about a minute. 

Got to love that effort to get back. 

Texas had a nice 7-0 run going.

A nice drive by Swain gets Texas back in front, 34-33.

Never fails. Pope missed the front end of a one and one. Kentucky hits a three. 

Seven offensive rebounds for Kentucky. Way too many second-chance opportunities.

I don't like either of the last two fouls committed by Texas. Swain swiped at Moreno and Mark threw his body into a Chandler.

It's a tie game, 38-38, with 39.7 seconds left in the half.

HALFTIME: Texas 40, Kentucky 40

Tramon Mark had six points in the first half, all of them inside the final six minutes.

Strong first half for Texas on the road. 

Well, I hope they decide to give effort in the second half. 

That was about as evenly played a first half as you'll see. Texas was 1-for-9 on 3-pointers in the first half, but the Longhorns compensated elsewhere with 26 points in the paint (a 26-18 edge).

Seems a little hesitant. I will settle for defense all game long. He has games where he disappears. Coach Miller has been able to get him playing defense the entire game.
