Morning Brew: Five things we learned in No. 2 Texas' 85-78 loss to No. 17 IllinoisIn today's Morning Brew: Five things we learned in No. 2 Texas’ 85-78 loss to No. 17 Illinois.
Timmy Allen - Excellent despite lossAllen logged 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and one block across 40 minutes during the Longhorns' 85-78 loss Tuesday versus Illinois.
ImpactAllen was the 2022-23 Longhorns' best scorer, rebounder and distributor Tuesday. He is not why they are no longer undefeated. Ideally for the Longhorns, Allen's latest log would indicate a turning point to his senior year after he began it unimpressively during November.

Terrence Shannon - Adds 16 in winShannon closed Tuesday's 85-78 OT win over Texas with 16 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and three steals across 35 minutes.
ImpactShannon has offered a steady hand in recent weeks, scoring between 16 and 19 points in the last four games after scoring at least 24 in three-of-four games to open the season. By giving himself a solid baseline for his production, Shannon could be set for a starring role in conference play if he gets through another month in good shape.

Matthew Mayer - Season-high scoringMayer ended Tuesday's 85-78 OT victory over Texas with 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.
ImpactMayer only played for a little bit longer as the game ran into overtime but making all five of his three-point attempts is a quick way to score 20. As this was his season-high scoring number, Mayer has more work to do as he'd scored under 10 points in seven of the first eight games.
