AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – After everything went so wrong for the Texas last season, Jordan Hamilton apologized to his teammates.
While there was plenty of blame to go around after the Longhorns went from No. 1 at midseason to one-and-done in the NCAA tournament, the freshman felt he’d been selfish with the ball.
Once the apologies were made, Hamilton not only settled into being a better teammate, he’s become Texas’ offensive leader on its tear through the first half of the Big 12 schedule, helping the Longhorns make their surprising rise to No. 3 in the AP Top 25.
The more mature Hamilton is leading Texas in scoring (18.9 points), rebounding (7.6) and has become a better passer and defender. Texas (20-3, 8-0) plays at Oklahoma (12-10, 4-4) Wednesday night.
