Rodney Terry Apologizes to UCF for 'Horns Down' ConfrontationTexas Longhorns coach Rodney Terry has been criticized for his reaction to UCF players flashing the “Horns Down” hand sign on Wednesday.
Ja'Vier Francis - Contributes on both endsFrancis had 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three blocks over 23 minutes during Saturday's 57-42 win over UCF.
ImpactFrancis made all four of his field-goal attempts, including three dunks, to spark his sixth double-digit output of the season on the offensive end. While the offensive production is a bonus, his production on the glass and on the defensive end has been a consistent for the Cougars. Francis posted his ninth-consecutive game with at least five rebounds and he's posted multiple blocked shots in seven of his last eight. While Francis is way down the list in scoring, averaging 6.4 points, he ranks second on the team in rebounds with 5.4 and first in blocks with 1.7 per contest.
