Impact Hunter logged a career high in points during this early-season statement win for the Longhorns. The sophomore guard fully embraced his starring role in Texas' backcourt, putting up a team-high 14 field-goal attempts and a season-high eight three-pointers while also leading the team in made threes ahead of senior guard Marcus Carr (16 points, 5-12 FG, 4-9 3FG). Hunter was limited to just 26 minutes played as he was temporarily shaken with an undisclosed injury near the end of the second half, though he appeared unbothered during Wednesday's postgame television interview. In three games since transferring from Iowa State, the Wisconsin native has averaged 18 points, five boards and two assists while converting 59.4 percent of his 10.7 field-goal attempts per game, and he'll look to keep up this hot start against Northern Arizona on Monday.
