00:00 In the bright lights of New York City, the Texas Longhorns had to quickly put Sunday's emotional
00:04 last-second win over Louisville behind them and prepare to face the defending national champions
00:10 in the Yukon Huskies. Falling to a 16-point deficit, Texas clawed their way back and
00:15 outscored Yukon in the second half but was ultimately unable to slow down the number
00:20 five-ranked Huskies, losing 81-71. Right before tip-off, it was announced that Texas forward
00:26 Caden Shedrick, who was coming off of a game-high 27 points, would be out for precautionary reasons
00:33 as he continues to recover from surgery on both shoulders. Losing Shedrick left Texas with a
00:39 major hole in the front court against a talented Yukon team. Forward Dylan Mitchell stepped up
00:46 big time as he had a career-high 21 points to go along with eight rebounds to lead Texas.
00:53 Tyrese Hunter also helped power the Longhorns' second-half comeback before finishing with 13
01:00 points, five rebounds, and seven assists. Max A. Smith had 10 points while Itheil Horton had 11
01:07 points off the bench. Following the Empire Classic loss at MSG, Texas is now 4-1 on the season and
01:14 will face Wyoming back at the Moody's Cedar on Sunday at 2 p.m. From Longhorns Country,
