The SEC gauntlet hasn't been kind to Texas Longhorns men's basketball this season, and the Alabama Crimson Tide are the latest reason why. Jari Stevenson scored 22 points and No. 2 Alabama came into the Moody Center Tuesday to convincingly hand Texas its third straight SEC loss in a 103-80 win.

AUSTIN — Jarin Stevenson scored 22 points and No. 2 Alabama used a hot-shooting first half and a barrage of 3-pointers to cruise to a 103-80 win over Texas on Tuesday night.

The Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns will meet Tuesday night for their first-ever matchup in SEC play.

The Texas Longhorns will be without their second-leading scorer for the remainder of Tuesday's matchup against the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide. The team announced near the end of the first half that Texas forward Arthur Kaluma suffered a left knee injury and was ruled out as a result.

The Texas Longhorns will host conference opponent No. 2 Alabama. Tuesday's meeting is the first of the season for the teams.
