Texas 73,

Western Carolina 41

AUSTIN, Texas -- Damion James scored 18 points and No. 3 Texas continued to break in its talented group of freshmen with a 73-41 win over Western Carolina on Wednesday night.

James, a senior, also grabbed seven rebounds, falling three short of his 39th career double-double for the Longhorns (2-0).

Gary Johnson, a junior forward who played just 14 minutes in Texas` season-opening win over UC-Irvine, added 10 points and seven rebounds. Freshman point guard J`Covan Brown scored 10 points and had his first assists of the season, finishing with three assists against six turnovers.

Harouna Mutombo scored 10 points to lead the Catamounts (1-1).

Texas` freshmen looked nervous Sunday against UC-Irvine, and this one wasn`t without early missteps. But there weren`t as many mistakes -- or minutes on the court -- as coach Rick Barnes continued mixing and matching young players with veterans.

Butler 67,

Northwestern 54

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Shelvin Mack had 15 points, Gordon Hayward added 14 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 11 Butler showed off its depth against Northwestern.

Five players had nine points or better for the Bulldogs (2-0), who never trailed in beating Northwestern (1-1) for a second straight year. Mack also dished out eight assists.

Oklahoma St. 93,

Southern 61

STILLWATER, Okla. -- James Anderson scored 30 points and was one of six Oklahoma State players in double figures as the Cowboys defeated Southern in the second round of the Las Vegas Invitational.

Despite a sluggish first half in which they hit just 3-of-16 three-pointers, the Cowboys (2-0) came alive in the final 20 minutes and shot 52.8 percent from the field. Oklahoma State will meet Bradley in the semifinals of the tournament in Las Vegas on Nov. 27.

Saint Louis 69,

Nebraska 55

ST. LOUIS -- Kwamain Mitchell scored 20 points and Saint Louis hit three of its seven 3-pointers in succession to help pull away from Nebraska.

Christian Salecich added 11 points and had three 3-pointers, two in an 11-0 run that put Saint Louis (2-0) ahead 44-31 with just over 14 minutes remaining. Nebraska twice cut the deficit to eight but shot only 33 percent in the second half and 40 percent overall.

Sek Henry had 14 points and Ryan Anderson added 10 for Nebraska (1-1), which has lost 13 of its last 14 road openers.

Nebraska center Jorge Brian Diaz broke a tooth when he was elbowed in the mouth with 18 minutes 36 seconds to go in the first half and didn`t return.

Wyoming 120,

Peru State 73

LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Afam Muojeke scored 26 points to lead Wyoming past Peru State.

The Cowboys (1-1) struggled at times early in the game before taking a 14-point halftime lead. Wyoming then used a 17-3 run in the opening minutes of the second half to pad its lead and run away with the win.

Marshall Kelly led Peru State (2-6) with 16 points and Jovan Hitch added 15 for the NAIA team from Nebraska.
