Deeper look into the numbers

Roach started in 31 of 32 games, averaging 12.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He had outstanding defensive performances against the likes of Grayson Allen, Trae Young, Kennan Evans, and Collin Sexton, ultimately earning Honorable Mention All-Big 12 selection, according to TexasSports.

Finally, roll into this most recent season where Roach came in as the only four-year player in the program and shouldered the burden as the “go-to-guy”. Texas basketball was lucky to have him around for a long time.
