Forward Alvin Heggs scored 20 points Friday night to lead Texas to an 82-79 victory over Pepperdine in the first round of the Hawaii Tipoff Classic at the University of Hawaii.

Pepperdine will meet the loser of the Montana State-Hawaii game, being played later Friday, in Sunday’s consolation game.
