"Everybody eats" has been brought up in multiple press conferences from the players to the media. Tonight for the Longhorns, the box score painted a photo similar to the famous Last Supper.

Winning 105-58, the 47-point victory is the second-largest margin of victory in the Moody Center's history, and 11 Longhorns players put the biscuit in the basket. 12 players saw at least five minutes on the court as well.

"I knew something like this was coming," said freshman phenom Tre Johnson in the post-game show hosted by SEC Network+.

The starters for the Longhorns were Johnson, seniors Arthur Kaluma and Kadin Shedrick, and juniors Jordan Pope and Chendell Weaver. Johnson, for the third game in a row, led the team in scoring with 19.

Coming off the bench, senior forward Ze'Rik Onyema had 18 points, leading the bench in that department. The 18 points are a Texas high for the second-year Longhorn and one shy of his career high, which he achieved while he was at UTEP back in Feb. 2023.

Tramon Mark, who continues to battle an ankle injury, did not suit up for the game.

As a team, the Longhorns shot 36-63 from the field and 9-18 from deep. The 50% clip rate is a season-best for the Longhorns through three games. Texas also shot 5-8 from three in the second half alone.

The Longhorns remain a perfect 19-0 in nonconference games at the Moody Center and improve to 32-5 all-time at the Moody.

The Longhorns will take on Mississippi Valley State on Saturday, Nov 16 at the Moody Center for their fourth game of the season and their third straight
