8 Texas Longhorns return to the Erwin Center on Wednesday evening to tip off in the first-ever Abe Lemons Classic against the Northern Colorado Bears. Senior forward Timmy Allen leads Texas in scoring (13.0 points per game) and rebounds (6.0 rebounds per game) on 10-of-15 shooting after racking up a team-high 18 point against Gonzaga. Northern Colorado won’t threaten Texas in the post like Drew Timme did, but the Longhorns have given up too many straight-line drives to the basket and don’t have the type of rim protector to clean up those mistakes. At 3-1, Northern Colorado enters the game ranked No. Guard Daylen Kountz is one of five players who averages double-digit points for Northern Colorado, leading the way at 17.3 points per game.
