AUSTIN — Taylor Jones had 21 points and five blocks in her debut for Texas after transferring from Oregon State, and the No. 3 Longhorns defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 68-45 on Friday night.
The Longhorns opened their season without their best player, point guard Rori Harmon, who wore a protective boot on her right foot. Texas released a statement before the game that gave no details on Harmon's injury and said her status is day to day.Jones, a 6-foot-4 junior, made 6 of 9 shots from the field 9 of 14 free throws while playing 22 minutes.Tamera Johnson led Louisiana-Lafayette with 15 points and seven rebounds, and Lanay Wheaton scored 13.
Neither team was adept on offense. Texas shot 39 percent from the field, missing 10 of 11 3-pointers. Louisiana-Lafayette hit 25 percent. Louisiana-Lafayette committed 29 turnovers, and Texas made 25. The teams combined for 55 fouls, 28 by Louisiana-Lafayette. Texas made 29 of 38 free throws, Mwenentanda going 8 for 8..Louisiana-Lafayette: The Rajin' Cajuns were picked by Sun Belt Conference coaches to finish third in the 14-team league. They will have to overcome the loss of their top shooter, Brandi Williams, to a season-ending knee injury, her second in as many years.
Texas: The Longhorns do not have a pure point guard to replace Harmon. Shaylee Gonzales, West Coast Conference player of the year last season at BYU, and Sonya Morris, who transferred from DePaul, handled the job against Louisiana. Kyndall Hunter, Harmon's high school teammate in Houston, was regarded as a combo guard when she was recruited. Hunter, a sophomore, has been away from the Longhorns for several weeks, but she is still on the roster.
