Big day not enough Pope ended with 21 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds across 26 minutes during Saturday's 76-72 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Pope led the Longhorns in scoring in what was one of his better individual days of conference play, but Texas still fell short in a game it desperately needed to help its NCAA Tournament status. Despite Saturday's performance, Pope has hit a bit of an offensive lull down the stretch, as this was just his third game in double figures in the team's last 14 contests. The junior does have outings of 42 and 27 points on the year, so he's more than capable of big days here and there. He might need a few in next week's SEC tournament, as Texas likely need to string together multiple victories to have a chance at an at-large bid.

Gets start for Larry Pope will get the start in place of Julian Larry against Arkansas, Texas announced.

Impact Pope will return to the starting five after coming off the bench for three games. The junior guard averages 10.9 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals this season.

Solid first outing off bench Pope racked up nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists and three steals over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 103-80 loss to Alabama.

Impact Pope was removed from Texas' starting five for the first time all season against Alabama, and he responded with a decent performance. He shot 40 percent from the field and dished out three assists as well, but the Longhorns ultimately got manhandled by the wagon that is Alabama. Even if Pope remains a bench player for Texas, expect him to continue to be a significant factor for the Longhorns.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ice cold shooting continues Pope provided eight points (3-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 72-69 loss to Ole Miss.

Impact Pope hasn't been able to buy a bucket as of late. He's shooting 22.9 percent from the floor in his last four games. He's had some explosive performances (42 points, 27 points), but he's hit a rough patch, despite Texas managing to go 2-2 in his last four games.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Big scoring day Pope registered 27 points (9-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and four steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 77-73 victory over Oklahoma.

Impact Pope was a hit-or-miss scoring option at the start of the year while still getting his bearings with the Longhorns, but he's now reached double figures in eight consecutive contests, averaging 19.4 ppg over that span. That stretch has seen his season-long average shoot up to 13.3 ppg, which is good for third on the team. If he hasn't been scooped up in fantasy formats yet, it might be wise to correct that.

Preposterous scoring output Pope ended Thursday's 98-62 victory over New Orleans with 42 points (15-21 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes.

Impact Pope absolutely exploded with a 42-point outburst against New Orleans. His previous high on the season had been 17 points, which he scored in the game prior. Pope really seems to be finding his stroke, as he hit an unreal 8-of-12 three pointers Thursday night. He'll look to stay hot against Northwestern State on Dec. 29.

Quiet outing vs. Huskies Pope registered three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two assists in 17 minutes during Sunday's 76-65 loss to UConn.

Impact Pope has generally been solid if not dynamic as a shooter this season, but he was off against UConn in a tough loss for the Longhorns. Pope's three points were his lowest total on the year. The former Oregon State Beaver has seen his role shrink in his junior season, but is still an every-game starter for the Longhorns and should continue to play solid minutes.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Uneven shooting performances early Pope ended with nine points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 105-58 win over Chicago State.

Impact Pope has been solid for 2-1 Texas to open the 2024-2025 campaign, but the point guard is shooting just 35.7 percent from the field in those three games. He's been good in other areas; eight assists to one turnover, for example, but he'll need to improve his efficiency as Texas enters the meat of its season.

30-piece in victory Pope had 30 points (10-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 85-73 win over Stanford.

Impact Pope's showcased his trademark three-level scoring Saturday, hitting threes, drawing fouls, and self-creating inside the arc. The sophomore is commanding a top-150 shot share in the nation, representing Oregon State's engine while simultaneously evolving as a facilitator, ranking in the top-250 with a 23.4 percent assist rate.
