Tramon Mark - Swishes five treys, scores 29 Mark amassed a season-high 29 points (11-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 79-77 loss to Purdue.
Impact Mark supplied a great deal of the Longhorn offense that kept the team in the game until the final buzzer. The 6-5 senior hit 47.6 percent of his 3-pointers in the NCAA Tournament as Texas made a surprise run from the First Four to the Sweet 16. The sixth-senior provided 13.5 points and 3.5 rebounds.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
Dailyn Swain - Scores 15, grabs nine boards Swain provided 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes during Thursday's 79-77 loss to Purdue.
Impact Swain had a very productive junior season in his first year in Austin. The 6-8 forward provided 17.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.7 steals. He hit 54.5 percent of his field goals and 35.2 percent of his 3-pointers. Should he return to the Longhorns, he might be one of the best players in the SEC as a senior.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
Matas Vokietaitis - Hampered by foul trouble Vokietaitis contributed nine points (3-5 FG, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 23 minutes during Thursday's 79-77 loss to Purdue.
Impact Vokietaitis played his fewest minutes in two months. He was hampered early by foul trouble and and never established a rhythm against the Boilermaker frontcourt. The sophomore was not on the court when Trey Kaufman-Renn tipped in the game-winner. The end of the season shouldn't sour a solid campaign in which Vokietaitis averaged 15.7 points on 61.9 percent from the field and 7.2 rebounds.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Pope - Starts, scores 12 Pope (undisclosed) ended with 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Thursday's 79-77 loss to Purdue.
Impact Pope was a game-time call and at one point was going to come off the bench. He was on the court at the starting tip and hit his most 3-pointers in the NCAA Tournament. The 6-1 senior hit 10 treys in his last three games. On the season, he averaged 13.1 points and hit 36.9 percent of shots from the perimeter.

Jordan Pope - Starting after all Pope (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Purdue, per the Longhorns' official X page.
Impact After originally being listed as a nonstarter and game-time call for the Sweet 16 matchup, Pope will be included in the starting five after all. The senior guard has played every game for the Longhorns so far this season, averaging 13.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per showing.

Jordan Pope - Not starting vs. Purdue Pope (undisclosed) isn't starting against Purdue in the Sweet 16, per Jalen Brown of OrangeBloods.com.
Impact Pope was considered a game-time call for the Longhorns, and while he may still see some action, he's not in Texas' starting five for the first time since the opener this season. The senior point guard, who averages 13.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists, will at the very least be limited for Texas in the Sweet 16.
