Texas entered the locker room trailing 37-30 at home to No. 22 Georgia. It answered the call in a big way in the second half.
A 57-point second half flipped the script in favor of the Longhorns, who dropped the visiting Bulldogs 87-67 on Saturday afternoon. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Texas, which improved to 12-8 (3-4 SEC).
Georgia (16-4, 4-3) saw its two-game win streak end.
The Longhorns put together an 8-0 run to turn a seven-point deficit into a 38-37 lead just past the two-minute mark of the second half. After the Bulldogs went up 47-43 on a Smurf Millender three-pointer, the Longhorns took a 51-48 lead with 14 minutes left after back-to-back threes by Tramon Mark.
Texas wouldn’t relinquish the lead the rest of the way, using a 19-6 run over the next 5:43 to open up a 67-54 lead with 8:17 to go. That advantage ballooned to as much as 23 down the stretch. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs made just three field goals in the game’s final 8:04.
Mark finished with 23 points, 16 of those coming in the second half. Dailyn Swain had a game-high 26 while Jordan Pope and Matas Vokietaitis combined for 28. The Longhorns shot 68.8% from the floor in the second half. Jeremiah Wilkinson’s 17 led the way for the Dawgs.
Both teams are back in action on Wednesday. Texas travels to Auburn, while Georgia returns home to host Tennessee.
