AUSTIN, Texas — Shaka Smart prefers not to consider life without Dylan Osetkowski, the Texas Longhorns’ 6-foot-9 forward. Or as the Texas coach put it, “I don’t even want to put those negative things in the universe.”Osetkowski, a junior, contributed a season-best 22 points, seven rebounds and two steals and Texas defeated Louisiana Tech 75-60 Saturday afternoon. Against Tech, Osetkowski made three 3-point baskets in the first half. POOR SHOOTING FROM TECHIn four games before facing Texas, Tech shot 53 per cent from the field, including 51 per cent on 3-pointers. Guards Jacobi Boykins and Jalen Harris, who combine to average more than 30 points a game, scored 10 between them against Texas.
