  "account": "On Wednesday, the Texas Longhorns announced that junior guard Mikey Lewis suffered a foot injury during practice. The 6'3\", 195-pounder is set to undergo surgery on Thursday and is expected to be out for an extended period, though not season-ending. Lewis, projected as the lead guard and a key scorer off the bench, was a highly sought-after prospect who signed with Saint Mary's over offers from higher-profile programs. Standing out as a four-star player, Lewis was the 12th-ranked combo guard nationally and held a consensus four-star ranking. As a freshman, he contributed significantly for Saint Mary's, averaging 8.2 points in 15.9 minutes per game and leading the team with 58 threes made out of 155 attempts. In the 2025-26 season, Lewis became a full-time starter, boosting his scoring average to 13.9 points in 26.8 points per game while enhancing his three-point shooting to 36.8 percent. Lewis played a pivotal role in Saint Mary's WCC regular-season title win, scoring 18 points on 5-of-7 threes against Gonzaga. In 2024-25, he started the season strong and finished equally impressive, averaging 22 points per game in the first four games and 22.6 points per game in the last six games before the NCAA Tournament. Lewis' performance, including a career-high 31-point game against Gonzaga, solidified his status as a valuable asset for the Longhorns as they begin the new season on November 2 against Chicago State.",
