Vokietaitis Pours In 26 As Longhorns Rout Grambling 93-62

Longhorns Dominate Early

The No. 7 Texas Longhorns (3-0) dismantled the visiting Grambling Tigers (1-1) 93-62 on Monday at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Matas Vokietaitis was the engine behind the offense, finishing with a game-high 26 points and nine rebounds. The home team established a commanding lead quickly, outscoring the Tigers 55-27 in the first half. By the time the second half began, the margin had already grown to 28 points, setting the stage for a comfortable victory.

A One-Sided First Half

Texas controlled the tempo from the opening tip. The Longhorns found success inside and out, with Vokietaitis contributing significantly through free throws and layups. Isaiah Johnson also played a key role in the backcourt, dishing out four assists. The defensive effort was equally notable, as the Longhorns held Grambling to just 27 points in the first 20 minutes. The Tigers managed a few buckets through Mekhi Fitts and others, but they could not sustain any meaningful runs against the home defense.

Comfortable Finish

The second half served as a formality. Texas continued to score at will, extending their lead into the 30-point range. Vokietaitis remained active, adding to his total with dunks and free throws, while teammates like David Punch and Marcus Spears Jr. contributed to the balanced attack. Grambling’s offense stalled, and despite efforts by Antonio Shannon, who grabbed seven rebounds, the Tigers could not close the gap. The final score of 93-62 reflected the disparity in performance between the two squads.

Post-Game Records

With the win, the Longhorns improved to 3-0 on the season, solidifying their position as a top-tier team in the conference. Grambling dropped to 1-1 after the defeat. The game drew a crowd of 10,872 at Moody Center, with fans witnessing a dominant display of home-court advantage.
