8. B.J. Tyler (1991-1994)

216-588 (36.7%), 2.8 FG3/G

At a time when the Longhorns were putting together some of the best offenses that pushed the boundaries of what floor spacing could look like in college basketball in the late 1980s and early 90s, guard B.J. Tyler was the perfect floor general to lead this offense for Texas.

Tyler put on display his ability to score the basketball against the Iowa Hawkeyes in a high scoring 98-92 loss for the Longhorns in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 1992, draining a postseason career-high six three-point field goals.

He won the SWC Player of the Year in 1993-94 for the Longhorns, as he led the conference in scoring at a clip of 22.8 points per game. Tyler led the SWC in three-point field goal percentage in 1993-94, at a clip of 37.4 percent.

What was the most impressive part about Tyler leading the SWC in three-point field goal percentage was the fact that he kept up that efficiency on a career-high 9.5 attempts per game from distance.

In the two full seasons where Tyler was healthy, the Longhorns boasted the No. 1 scoring offense in the SWC, averaging over 90 points per game.

7. Brian Boddicker (2000-2004)

159-394 (40.4%), 1.2 FG3/G

Four-year big man Brian Boddicker was a major contributor to Texas's frontcourt unit in the early-to-mid 2000s. Boddicker played some of his best basketball in the postseason in the NCAA Tournament. He made at least three field goals from deep in six career postseason games for Texas under head coach Rick Barnes in the early 2000s.

He played a style of inside-out basketball that was ahead of its time stylistically in college basketball, with his ability to space the floor and knock down three-pointers on open catch-and-shoot looks consistently on the offensive end.

Boddicker was never the flashiest scorer for the Longhorns. But he did a lot of the little things that made a big impact on the team on both ends of the floor with his one-on-one paint defense and shooting efficiency from the mid-range and from beyond the arc.

He is the only four-year big man ever for the Longhorns to shoot better than 40 percent for his career from beyond the arc in college.
