Austin, Texas ? Brian Boddicker had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and sixth-ranked Texas beat New Orleans 89-55 Sunday to extend its home winning streak to 20 games.

P.J. Tucker had 17 points, and Brandon Mouton scored 15 for Texas (5-1). Bo McCalebb led New Orleans (3-1) with 15.

The Longhorns came in averaging 98.2 points, but it was defense and Boddicker’s all-around play that made this one look easy. Texas held New Orleans to 29-percent shooting. The Privateers were just 7-of-24 from beyond the three-point line and 18-of-62 overall.

Texas led 22-20 midway through the first quarter before a 19-4 run opened things up.

James Thomas’s dunk off a crosscourt bounce pass from Royal Ivey made it 30-23, and Mouton swatted away a three-point attempt by Kyle Buggs before taking it in for an easy layup.

Boddicker’s three-pointer from the left corner gave the Longhorns a 15-point lead.

Texas opened the second period with an 11-4 run that stretched the lead to 52-31. Kenny Taylor hit a three-pointer, Boddicker put back a miss for a layup and Mouton added four more points in the run.
