The Longhorns kept up the pressure defensively, consistently forcing turnovers and fast-break points.
The Longhorns scored 24 points off 22 Pine Bluff turnovers. Mitchell’s breakaway dunk off a steal by Carr made it 69-41 with 8 minutes to play.
"We knew it was going to be a tough challenge to score on these guys," Pine Bluff coach Solomon Bozeman said. "Their defense is on a different level."Arkansas-Pine Bluff: The Golden Lions have almost finished a brutal early season portion of their schedule that included three Big 12 opponents and three more from the Big Ten and the SEC. That gauntlet should have them ready to face their Southwestern Conference schedule that starts in January.
Texas: Mitchell had a highlight-reel game, with 6-of-7 shooting that included five dunks from the 6-foot-8 forward who was one of highest-rated recruits in the country coming out of high school. Troubling, though, is another subpar game from Disu. The starting forward has just seven points and two rebounds in the last two games.The game was billed as the Jimmy Blacklock Classic in tribute to honor the first Black basketball player recruited at Texas.
