THE OFFENSE RUNS THROUGH CARTIER. DISU WITH A TOUGH MATCH-UP. CARTIER INTO THE DOUBLE-TEAM. LOST THE HANDLE. SCOTT HAS GOT IT DENIED. HERE COMES MAX ABMAS NOW. SOME TIME OFF COMING FROM THE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT. MAYBE EIGHT DAYS I THINK IT WAS TO NOW IN BETWEEN GAMES. THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SOME OF THE TIMING OR LACK THEREOF. STEVENS DOESN'T MAKE IT. THAT TIME ABLE TO GET RIGHT JUMP-STARTED HERE. THEY'VE MISSED THEIR LAST SEVEN. WEAVER TURNS THE CORNER, TAKING ON CLIFFORD, AND HE LAYS IT IN. >> Jim: I TELL YOU WHAT. COLORADO STATE PLAYED GOOD DISU FIRED UP THREE RIGHT AWAY AND IS 0 FOR 3 FROM BEYOND THE ARC. THIS BENCH GROUP FOR THE LONGHORNS HAVE COME IN AND SETTLED THE GAME DOWN A LITTLE BIT. CUNNINGHAM GETS THE STEAL. CARTIER DEFENDING. CUNNINGHAM ABLE TO LAY IT. IN TEXAS IN FRONT FOR THE FIRST TIME. STATE. LATE CLOCK HERE, DOWN TO ONE. EMERGENCY FIRE. NO GOOD. HERE COMES TYRESE HUNTER OUT OF THE PACK. HUNTER, HEAD DOWN, STRIPPED BY STEVENS, SAVED BY HUNTER. STEVENS, SAVED BY HUNTER. CUNNINGHAM IN THE CORNER, DRIVES IT. WHISTLES IT ACROSS COURT. HUNTER, FOUL. IT GOES. AND-ONE. TYRESE HUNTER, STRONG FINISH AT POSSESSION WITH THE PUSH. THE SKIP PASS, THE LONG CLOSEOUT. THAT TIME JOE PALMER, DESPITE THE HEADBAND THERE, NOT ENOUGH HEIGHT TO GET UP TOP, AND THAT BECAUSE HE POSSESSED THE BASKETBALL. A LOT DIFFERENT WITH THIS TALENTED LONGHORNS TEAM. >> Brian: THAT WAS WEAVER WHO GOT A HAND ON IT. FORCED THE TURNOVER. MITCHELL GETS HIS OWN, PUTS IT BACK WITH HIS LEFT HAND. NIKO MEDVED WANTS TO TALK IT HUNTER BACK ON THE FLOOR RUNNING WITH DISU, MITCHELL, HORTON AND WEAVER. NIQUE CLIFFORD GUARDING HUNTER. UP TOP FOR MITCHELL. THE HIGH-FLIER, DILLON MITCHELL, NOW THIS UNIT IS PLAYING A LITTLE MORE ENERGY. WHEN YOU DO THAT, THE ALLEY-OOP ABOVE THE RIM IS OPEN, NOW YOU'RE ON A BIG-TIME RUN. COLORADO STATE, EXCELLENT ASSIST-TO-TURNOVER RATIO, FIFTH BEST IN THE NATION COMING INTO THIS GAME TONIGHT. ONE ASSIST, SIX TURNOVERS AT THIS POINT. PALMER LACES A THREE! NEEDED THAT. COLORADO STATE COMING OUT OF THE TIME-OUT. HORTON HAS FIVE NOW, ONE OF THEM OFFENSIVE. HORTON GUARDED BY STEVENS. GIVES IT UP. WEAVER LAYS IT IN. WEAVER IS GIVING HIM A BOOST AS STRUGGLED IN THE FIRST HALF TO FIND MY RHYTHM. IT WASN'T THE FIRST GAME, BUT I DID STRUGGLE THE FIRST GAME A LITTLE BIT MY JUNIOR YEAR. YOU CAN GET A RHYTHM WHEN YOU GET TWO FEET IN THE PAINT. YOU'RE 6'11", YOU GET A NICE BUT, YOU KNOW, EARLY ROUNDS, SOMETIMES YOU GET THAT WAY. AND WITH COLLEGE, IT LOOSENS UP. EVEN THAT SHOT RIGHT THERE -- >> Brian: CLIFFORD ON THE DECK. HE MISSED IT. GETS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. NOW HUNTER WITH A STEAL. HUNTER AGAINST CLIFFORD. HAMMER IT DOWN! TYRESE HUNTER! THE PICK AND THE THROW-DOWN. SEDRICK WITH THE CHARGE. >> Jim: CSU WITH EIGHT TURNOVERS. YOU CAN'T THROW LAZY PASSES. IF YOU DO, THAT'S EASY MONEY. CLIFFORD SAID, DON'T DO IT. AS GOOD AS THEY LOOKED ON TUESDAY, IT'S BEEN JUST THE OPPOSITE HERE TONIGHT. ABMAS FINALLY GETS ONE TO GO, HIS FIRST BASKET OF THE GAME. >> Jim: IRONICALLY, TOO, HE GOT A CHANCE AT THE LAST SHOT FOR THE LONGHORNS. ABMAS NOT AFRAID. MID COURT. MAX DRILLS A LONG THREE-POINTER! HE HAS EARNED THAT NICKNAME. >> Jim: PATIENCE PAYS OFF. ALSO HAVING A GREAT TEAM WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORCE YOUR SHOT. ABLE TO KNOCK IN A SHORT SHOT EARLIER THE LAST POSSESSION. POINTS, 11 REBOUNDS AGAINST VIRGINIA. HE MISSES THAT ONE. CARTIER KEEPS IT ALIVE FOR ANOTHER CHANCE HERE. THAT ONE IS DOWN. THAT MAKES IT A FOUR-POINT TRIP DOWN THE FLOOR AS ISAIAH STEVENS WHERE YOU DON'T MATCH UP QUICK ENOUGH OFF AN OFFENSIVE REBOUND AND END UP GIVING UP A THIS THREE-POINT SHOT. >> Brian: FIRST MADE BASKET FOR STEVENS. NOW DISU, A GUY THAT TEXAS DESPERATELY NEEDS TO GET GOING. SOME SCORING IS GONE NOW. CLIFFORD HAD A DOUBLE-DOUBLE ON TUESDAY. NOW DISU GOING BACK AT IT. CARTIER STANDS TOUGH. THE BALL LOOSE. ENDS UP IN THE HANDS OF STRONG. STEVENS GIVES IT UP. CLEARED AWAY BY STRONG. HERE COMES COLORADO STATE. IT CAN BE A VERY EFFICIENT OFFENSE, GOOD-FLOWING OFFENSE AS WELL. THEY ARE CERTAINLY CAPABLE OF COMING BACK HERE. STEVENS STARTING TO GET IT ALLEN TEXAS. ABMAS WAS AT JESUIT. ABMAS MADE THE TRANSFER HIS FINAL YEAR. UP TOP AGAIN! IT'S KADIN SHEDRICK! >> Jim: A LITTLE DROP COVERAGE. CARTIER KIND OF STUCK IN BETWEEN. KADIN SHEDRICK ABLE TO FIND THE WITH THOSE BACK DOOR, THEY CAUGHT THE RHYTHM. THAT'S A LOT OF THE REASON WHY COLORADO STATE HASN'T BEEN ABLE OFFENSIVELY TO GET THE RHYTHM, WHILE OFFENSIVELY FOR TEXAS, THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO ATTACK THE GAPS AND CONTINUE TO SCORE, ABMAS GOT GOING LATE. LAKE GETS INTO THE PAINT, KICKS IT. STEVENS BEING HOUNDED BY WEAVER. STEVENS, THAT WAS A STRONG MOVE. TOUGH SHOT. BAD ANGLE. ISAIAH STEVENS WITH TWO MORE ON HALF HERE ON 3 OF 12 SHOOTING. COLORADO STATE STARTED THE YEAR 13-1. THEY WERE RANKED 13th IN THE NATION. IN CONFERENCE PLAY THEY FINISHED 12-9. SIXTH IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST. WEAVER HITS A LITTLE MID-RANGE JUMPER. STORIES AROUND THE LEAGUE. DOWNLOAD THE BLEACHER REPORT APP TO WATCH NOW. RISING UP IS CLIFFORD. GOOD HIT FOR COLORADO STATE. JIM CLIFFORD A CLEAN LOOK ON THE CLIFFORD WANTS IT BACK NOW PICKED UP BY CHENDALL WEAVER. STEVENS, LONG POSSESSION HERE. LAKE FIRES THE THREE. NEEDED IT. NEEDED IT BADLY. COLORADO STATE BALL. NICE SAVE DOWN THERE BY JALEN LAKE. STEVENS FINDS CLIFFORD, AND ANOTHER THREE! SINGLE DIGITS NOW, COLORADO >> Jim: THAT WOULD HAVE TIGHTENED THE SCREWS A LITTLE MORE FOR NOT ONLY THE TEXAS PLAYERS, BUT THE FANS HERE. >> Brian: ABMAS GETS A STEP. ABMAS, CASH MONEY. MAX ABMAS NOW WITH NINE POINTS. DIDN'T SCORE UNTIL THE LAST WE DON'T NEED TO BE A TEAM THAT NEEDS A PERFECT ENVIRONMENT. THEY'VE CERTAINLY BEEN TESTED. >> Jim: PANDA BEARS ARE ALWAYS THE CUDDLY ONES. >> Brian: FLYING HIGH. MISSED IT. FAMILIAR THEME IN THIS GAME. MISSED SHOTS, EMPTY SETS, MISSED OPPORTUNITY. CSU HAS MISSED THEIR LAST EIGHT. THEY NEED ONE. AND THEY GET ONE! JOSIAH STRONG DRILLS A BIG THE COMPETITION IS HIGH. IT'S GOT TO FEEL LIKE A GAME THAT WILL COME RIGHT DOWN TO IT. LATE CLOCK. DISU HITS ONE. NEEDED TO BE PRESSURED A LITTLE BIT WITH THE SHOT CLOCK WINDING DOWN. ALL THESE POSSESSIONS DOWN THE STRETCH BECOME MORE CRITICAL. YOU CAN'T HAVE EMPTY POSSESSIONS, CAN'T HAVE TURNOVERS, FORCED SHOTS. EVERYONE NEEDS SOMETHING, JUST LIKE THAT RESPONSE RIGHT THERE. SO AS BAD AS IT'S BEEN FROM A MATCHES THEIR SEASON HIGH THIS YEAR. 16 AT BOISE STATE. ABMAS, NO GOOD. OFFENSIVE REBOUND. CHENDALL WEAVER. THE FLOATER IS GOOD!

DYLAN DISU, BIG SHOT. WE GO UNDER 4:00 AND A TIME-OUT. >> Jim: THE TWO POINT GUARDS MAKING IT HAPPEN. THIS TIME DISU ABLE TO GET A FOUL AND A CHANCE TO SHOOT A FREE-THROW. POOR SHOOTING FROM BEYOND THE ARC THIS SEASON. NORMALLY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN UP AND OVER THE TOP FOR HIM. >> Brian: HUGE POSSESSION. CSU NEEDS A STOP. WEAVER IS FOULED! AND-ONE. CHENDALL WEAVER HAS A CHANCE AT A THREE-POINT PLAY. ELEVATING. MASSIVE HOPS HERE FROM CHENDALL WEAVER. >> Jim: WATCH THIS. HE'S UP, UP, THEY'RE TOGETHER. THEN HE KEEPS GOING. THEN IT'S HIS ABILITY, BECAUSE HE DOES THIS FOR A LIVING LUXURY. >> Brian: BALL CONTROL FOR THE HORNS. WEAVER ABLE TO BREAK THE PRESS. THE CLOCK TICKS. ABMAS, AGAIN, WORKING WITH DISU. DISU THE FOLLOW. TEXAS POISED NOW. THEY TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO CUT INTO THE LEAD AND MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN. 14 POINTS, NOW DOWN TO 11. TEAM IN '03.
