  1. While Xavier shoots it at a very impressive clip, their average threes per game is pretty close to ours at 7.4 (we average 7.1, Gonzaga is at 7.7 for example). Doesn’t seem like they live and die by it like Penn State does, who made over 10 per game this season (fucking insane). Xavier is still a tough team to guard, but I think Penn State’s unique style and movement really wore our guards and Timmy down by the second half until we seemed to regroup after the timeout, although they did miss a couple solid looks still. In the first half we were just flying around like organized madmen and doing so definitely helped us win the game in the end. If you don’t give it everything you have and more, that PSU team in their end of season form will do what they did to ATM all day. May be wishful thinking, but I’m hoping that was part of the reason we missed so many good attempts from deep. What I‘m getting at here is we have definitely seen and done well against Xavier’s style of play this year, while PSU was a tough prep for in two days. Obviously I want to see that we are still aggressive per usual on defense, because they can be had turnover-wise (they are 216th in the country in turnovers per game at 12.2). If we can limit the TOs again and win the turnover battle, plus maybe just maybe shoot at least our average from three, I think we should be happy with the result. EDIT: lost track and realized this wasn’t the game thread, don’t mean to derail
  2. I was in the nosebleeds and the only Texas fan in my section. Pretty sure everyone around me thought I had lost my mind. Admittedly, I was going nuts during the last 4:45. I’m just so used to the feeling I had when we went down three evolving into pain and a loss after so many years, it was truly one of the most satisfying Longhorn wins I have been at in any sport. I’m addicted to the thrill and headed to KC, ready to watch these guys battle again. Jobs not finished. Not even close.
  3. Penn State was 9-2 in their last 11 following a four game losing streak that must have shook some life into them and I assume taught them to commit to small ball and their three point shot. Truly one of the hottest teams in the tournament with one of the best players in Pickett and a few incredible shooters. Also the oldest team in college basketball. Compare that to 3 seed Baylor who limped into the tournament after hitting some sort of wall, and honestly I’d much rather have played Baylor than Penn State right now. All that will be remembered is that they were a 10 seed that challenged us, but I think it helps to provide some context when saying we had an easy route to the Sweet 16
  4. I have a single in Section 102 Row 24 if any Horns don’t want to deal with the ticket sites or fees. Only looking for $100. My brother decided he wanted to go with me after I’d already bought the ticket, and would rather make sure the seat goes to someone in burnt orange.
  5. This post is how I found out they legalized, so I got you. Looking around it seems like shit is relatively expensive as expected with newly legalized states. Worth it to help curb my basketball anxiety.
  6. Yeah I got scammed on seatgeek in Des Moines. Had previously used seatgeek for 7 years and countless tickets with no issue, but I’m done with them now. Night before Game 1 I bought a ticket in a better section that the guy ended up double selling to some ISU kids during Session 1. Luckily I had two seats and was able to get in using the valid ticket I’d bought the week before and just sit in the shitty section.
  7. I’ve rewatched the last five minutes countless times already. The whole country thought we were dead at that point, but I know our guys never had a doubt. Just needed to chill out for a second and lock back in. Funny part was barely seeing any Horns down on the jumbotron til that moment, then every PSU fan and pasty midwesterner in the building was doing it during the timeout. Never fails.
  8. Lmfao fuck Marty Smith. Also I was mostly impartial towards Kris Budden and Spatola, but gotta give them props.
  9. High Life Lounge looks cool. Will probably stop there for some solo beers before Session 1 ends in the arena and I can head in.
  10. Wouldn’t mind a Sweet 16 matchup vs ISU. Team was fired up last time we played them, you could tell they all took the hate personal. Clones did kick Grill’s ass from the team at least, and I don’t mind the rest of their players. Would definitely be a lot of boos from their fans in KC if it happens though.
  11. Are you fucking kidding me? Beard deserves all the heat. I have never prayed on anyone’s downfall more than I do his. He let the team, university, and everyone who gives a shit about this stuff down.
  12. Fuck Chris Beard. Ruined everything.
  13. Sko Buffs
  14. Lmfao did On3 even read the article before posting it?
  15. I was surprised, but they also have AJ Johnson going 13th overall.
  16. Don’t completely understand what CDC is saying here, since the policy has obviously changed for 2023, and I’m pretty sure it does mean that a new >$500 donor will have priority access while we do not. At least they allowed us to apply for away game tickets still, besides Bama.
  17. I wish. Meant Tier 4 based on the season ticket seat map. This will be my third year having two tickets in Section 114 Row 14 and with the donation being frozen now, it’ll take a lot for me to upgrade for a while. I don’t mind the upper endzone view, just being in the stadium is enough for me. I figure there will still be at least two seats together in the Cotton Bowl after the priority selections are made, but I definitely liked having the tickets secured in the mid-summer.
  18. #6 UVA loses @ Boston College embarassingly. 63-48.
  19. Damn. My Tier 4 ass just got priced out of Texas/OU priority tickets.
  20. Fucking idiots don’t even understand that a big part of the new SEC/ESPN deal is that the SEC can announce game times during the summer and since all games are on ESPN networks they will be able to shift around what game is on what channel if needed. The two week window will be a thing of the past in the SEC.
  21. They sent out season ticket renewal emails during the Town Hall.
  22. Adidas Black History Month uniforms. Kansas had them on yesterday.
  23. Memphis misses a layup @ Houston that would’ve made it a three point game with just under two minutes left. Memphis’ best player is out too.
