Austin, Texas ? Computer billionaire Michael Dell came to watch the kid whose game looks like a million bucks.

Like everyone else, he left impressed.

Texas freshman Kevin Durant turned in his usual stellar game with 28 points and 13 rebounds, helping the 25th-ranked Longhorns cruise to an 80-69 win Saturday over Big 12 rival Oklahoma.

“He’s phenomenal,” said Dell, whose Dell Inc. empire started when he was building computers in his dorm room as a Texas freshman. “Not that I’m the expert at these sorts of things, but he’s great.”

Not to worry. Even the experts are left shaking their heads at the things Durant has done so far in the Big 12. The league’s leading scorer and rebounder is averaging 33 points in Texas’ first three conference games.

“Anyway you can possibly think of, he can score,” said first-year Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel. “He makes it look effortless. He doesn’t sweat.”

Durant can blame Texas coach Rich Barnes for missing his third straight 30-point game. Barnes took him out with more than 41â2 minutes to play and Texas leading 79-52.

A.J. Abrams added 20 points for the Longhorns (13-3, 3-0), hitting five three-pointers. Texas has hit 34 from long range in its first three Big 12 games.

Nate Carter scored 18 to lead Oklahoma (9-6, 1-2), which has lost three of four.

The Sooners played without center Longar Longar, their leading scorer and rebounder, after he was suspended Friday for two games for throwing an elbow that caused a serious injury to a Texas Tech player earlier in the week.

“It hurt not having him,” Capel said. “He’s our best inside presence.”

The Sooners could have used something to try to stop Durant, who likely would have gone to the NBA straight out of high school if the league hadn’t imposed an age minimum.

And like Dell, who dropped out of Texas as his company expanded, Durant is widely expected to leave after this season.
