Taking it to the hoop over Hooper Texas forward P.J. Tucker (2) goes for a layup over Louisiana-Monroe's Tony Hooper (00) during the first half Saturday in Austin, Texas. Texas won 90-55.

After tough wins over No. 13 West Virginia and No. 18 Iowa, the Longhorns (5-0) coasted past the overmatched Indians. LaMarcus Aldridge had his fifth consecutive double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Tucker's only shooting blemish was a pair of missed free throws late in the second half.

The Longhorns played without starting forward Brad Buckman, who sat out the game with a hip injury. But even with him on the bench, the Longhorns were too physical up front and too quick in the backcourt and an early rash of turnovers and fouls by the Indians allowed Texas to quickly seize control.

Texas forced 14 turnovers in the first half. Tucker had four steals, the first leading to an Aldridge dunk. Aldridge then tipped the ball to A.J. Abrams for a 3-pointer and Tucker' second steal led to an easy layup.

Another dunk by Aldridge on a perfect feed from Daniel Gibson, followed by two more 3-pointers from Gibson and Connor Atchley in an 18-5 Texas run opened up a 37-17 lead and the Longhorns slowly expanded the lead from there.

Mitchell, who scored a game-high 26 points, let the shot clock run down before lofting a 3-pointer from the corner. LSU then fouled J.D. Collins, who missed a free throw. The rebound was tipped out to Pat Beilein, whose 3-point attempt hit off the backboard and rim as time expired.

The Tigers (3-0) led the entire game until Joe Herber's 3-pointer with 4:56 remaining in regulation put West Virginia (2-3) ahead 57-56. The teams finished regulation tied at 62.

Glen Davis added 23 points -- six in overtime -- and 14 rebounds for LSU. It was his 13th career double-double. Davis controlled the inside with eight defensive rebounds.
