Austin, TX -- (Sports Network) - Damion James notched a game-high 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the seventh-ranked Texas Longhorns cruised to a 76-51 victory over the Tulane Green Wave.

A.J. Abrams netted 15 points while Justin Mason handed out seven assists to go with seven points for Texas (2-0), which rolled to a 68-38 victory over Stetson on Friday to begin its campaign.

Connor Atchley scored 12 and Gary Johnson 11 in the win.

The Longhorns dominated in all facets of the game with 39 points off turnovers and 17 fastbreak points while outscoring Tulane in the paint, 46-20.

"We obviously created a lot of offense with our defense. The thing we were most impressed with as a coaching staff is the things we got done on the defensive end," Texas head coach Rick Barnes said. "Offensively, the big thing was putting the ball inside. Any time you can make more free throws than your opponent takes, you'll be happy with that."

Kevin Sims led the way with 11 points for Tulane (1-1), which won its opener at home over McNeese State by a 68-62 final. Asim McQueen logged 11 rebounds and nine points in the loss.

Tulane, which survived 17 turnovers in its season opener, had 25 turnovers Tuesday and shot just 31 percent (18-for-58) from the floor.

"We played against one of the best teams in the country tonight. Texas' team is as good of a team I've ever coached against," Tulane head coach Dave Dickerson said. "We couldn't rebound the basketball tonight -- we couldn't pass tonight. Whenever you can't pass and catch it's tough."

The Green Wave kept the score close early on with Sims draining a three for an eight-point deficit, but Texas quickly made it a 17-point margin with a 9-0 run, hitting the break up by that same difference, 42-25.

If there was a doubt in the outcome, the Longhorns put it to bed with a 15-0 run to open the second half. A Sims layup only slowed the rout as Texas saddled the Green Wave with three more buckets for a 63-27 margin just about five minutes in.

The Longhorns' last bucket came with a little over five minutes remaining, allowing Tulane to score the game's final eight points.
