“I had a wake-up call my first day of practice. Christian Bishop dislocated my shoulder,” said Morris, who missed three weeks or preseason training camp with the injury. “So I’m used to running into big-bodied screens now. Yeah, a great wake-up call.” “We knew coming into the ballgame we were going to have to have a physical mindset,” interim coach Rodney Terry said following the Longhorns’ win at WVU Coliseum. “They’ve got great size and they’d been playing a lot of power basketball over the last week and a half. They’ve really just been pounding that ball inside. So we knew we were going to have to try to match their physicality in the paint and on the glass, try to do some uncomfortable things to try to win this game today.
Bishop stayed active throughout the second half. He got loose off a slip screen for a rolling dunk and outsmarted a double team by swinging a bounce pass to Disu for a backdoor dunk in the early minutes. This season, Texas is outscoring opponents by 30.8 points per 100 possessions with Bishop on the court, per EvanMiya.com's advanced statistics. That's second only to Texas Tech's KJ Allen , and Bishop has played twice as many minutes.
