Dec 16, 2008 - 2:23 PM Texas Southern (0-8) at No. 5 Texas (8-1), 8:00 p.m. ESTAUSTIN, Texas (Ticker) -- Finally the focal point of the offense, A.J. Abrams is excelling during his senior campaign.
The Texas guard looks to stay hot when the fifth-ranked Longhorns host Texas Southern on Tuesday.

The 5-11 senior is scoring 20.2 per game this season to lead Texas and is shooting a career-high 47 percent from the arc.
Abrams had 30 points to lead Texas to an 81-73 triumph over Texas State on Saturday. He is averaging 29 points over his last three games.
Texas Southern has had a tough time defending anyone this season as it is allowing 77.1 points during the eight defeats.
