The 6-1 senior had his best shooting game against the Jaguars and has hit 14 3-pointers in his last four games. He is averaging 12.5 points and 3.1 assists.

Knocks down seven treys Pope provided 28 points (8-15 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and four assists over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 102-97 win over North Carolina State.

Impact Pope had not hit more than three 3-pointers in a game before Wednesday, but he had everything in alignment against the Wolfpack. He nearly doubled his previous season high of 15 points. The 6-1 senior converted 52.2 percent of his 3-pointers in the Maui Invitational after coming in knocking down just 27.6 percent from the perimeter. The truth lies somewhere in between. Pope is off for a week when the Longhorns face Virginia.

Scores 15, deals eight assists Pope racked up 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, a season-high eight assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 119-78 win over Chaminade.

Impact Pope equaled his season high in points and had the Longhorn offense humming against a lesser opponent. He has hit connected on seven 3-pointers in his last three games and looks like he is ready to throw off his early season shooting slump. Competition will be tougher on Wednesday when the Longhorns take on North Carolina State. Pope will look to connect on more than half of his shots for the second time this season.

Impact Pope came off the bench to score 15 points in 30 minutes in the opening loss to Duke. Texas took an 18-point lead into halftime and never looked back. The Oregon State transfer did not need to play big minutes. He might see similar situations in upcoming games against Fairleigh Dickinson, UMKC, and Rider.

No. 6 Duke Wins Despite Cameron Boozer's Inefficient Debut

Not starting at Duke Pope is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's season opener against Duke, Eric Henry of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Pope is a returning starter for the Longhorns, but he'll come off the bench against the Blue Devils. Whether this will be a long-term decision for the team or just a test for the first game of the year is unknown, but the 6-foot-1 guard should remain a big part of Texas's rotation.
