Houston Christian Huskies team news & key performers
On Friday in Austin, the Houston Christian Huskies held their ground against the Texas Longhorns for most of the first half, keeping the score within reach until they entered the locker room trailing 42-35. However, Texas broke the game wide open with a pair of significant scoring runs early in the second half. Julian Mackey led the Huskies with a career-high 20 points in his first start, while Bryson Dawkins contributed 13 points, including Houston Christian's first nine points of the game.
Through the first two games, Mackey and Dawkins lead the team, each averaging 15.5 points per game. Pierce Bazil follows with six points per game, supported by a group of four players each averaging 5.5 points, along with two others at 4.5. On the boards, Peyton Rogers leads with five rebounds per game, while Elijah Brooks contributes 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists. The Huskies have been aggressive from beyond the arc, attempting 30 or more three-pointers in consecutive games—a milestone they hadn’t hit since February 4, 2023, and only the 12th and 13th times they've done so in the past decade.
On Wednesday night, Pierce and Porter Bazil will get their first collegiate start in their home state, joining Demari Williams, D'Aundre Samuels, and Brooks in the Huskies' starting lineup.
