After a tight first quarter that saw the Longhorns leading 24-20 on the strength of Collier's 12 points and six tallies each from Taylor and Warren, Texas began pulling away over the second 10-minute period.
Leading 35-30 with 4:52 left in the second quarter, Collier and freshman forward DeYona Gaston scored consecutive buckets to ignite an 11-2 finishing kick that granted Texas a 46-32 halftime advantage.
