    Disu First Team All Big 12 and Most Improved Player

    Abmas 2nd Team and All Newcomer Team

    No way Disu could be most improved player, derka would have you believe this coaching staff fucking sucks from top to bottom.

    Who exactly is "bullish" on RT?  We're stuck with him.  I would think most UT fans would be rooting for him to succeed.  That doesn't mean they think he will.

    Anyone that strays from the Rodney Terry fucking sucks group think is by their accounts bullish. They also think that Terry can only be judged successful in their eyes if he makes the Sweet 16 every year, something that Bill Self is slightly better than 50/50 at accomblishing. They also think that a coach that was 0-4 in the NCAAT with a .595 overall winning percentage before last year was an elite coach. They also think that a coach that has had two complete seasons of less than 10 losses is currently Top 5 in the sport.

     I am not here to win internet points. 

    You are also not here to give a good accounting of the three math based degrees you apparrantly have.

    So we lost to two good teams out of conference and that somehow justifies we are above average? Oh you got me on sitting below the midpoint comment. 

    I mean almost every measure used to quanitfy at-large teams into the NCAAT has Texas as an above average team this season, but by all means continue your stupidty.

    2005 NLCS Game 2, I was at the game in St. Louis (total shithole) and talked so much shit as Oswald dominated them.  I love that guy, he was fearless.

    Game 6 was better. I could tell that the Cardinals had no chance after his 1st inning battle with Pujols.

    Satya is using a historical perspective instead of looking at the actual team. Which is dumb. 

    1) Experienced

    2) Two guys capable of scoring 25+ on any given night. 

    3) This team will probably be under-seeded based on where the advanced metrics actually have them ranked. 

    We might lose in the 1st round but this team has all the ingredients to upset teams. It's not surprising that Rothstein tweeted something like that because it's true. 

    and not just Abmas or Disu.

    Shedrick and Weaver have put together a string of solid performances off the bench. 9.6 PPG in 17.8 MPG and 10.8 in 21.4 respectively.

    If we are getting 20 from those 2 two, we have a rotation that can put 80 on teams with ease.

    The broadcasters also made a great point yesterday. We have one of the most experienced teams in the tournament. 

    Hunter (made the NCAA tournament 3 times)

    Abmas (made the NCAA tournament at Oral Roberts)

    Disu (made the NCAA tournament 3 times)

    Mitchell (made the NCAA tournament 2 times)

    Cunningham (don't want to figure this out because he's a grandpa)

    Shedrick (made the NCAA tournament a couple times at UVA)

    The majority of our roster has been there and done that. I don't think the lights are going to be too big for these guys. 

    Of our 8 man primary rotation, only Shedrick and Weaver have never been to the 2nd weekend.

    This is your normal Satya stupidity.

    Also, nobody wants to play Texas with Abmas and Disu. He's just flat out wrong. Two guys capable of going nuclear like that are the types built to upset teams in the tournament. 

    especially if Hunter is being aggressive.

    The comparison was started by someone else. The preseason predictions and the results of the 2023-24 campaigns support my position.  IDGA rat's ass if you endorse it or not.  You like denial.

    Congrats on your "great" season, enjoy McCasland until a bigger program steals him away and you are stuck in your lot in life as a stepping stone program or where coaching legends go to die.

    You believe Texas has a weaker roster than Tech?

    preseason Big XII predictions: CBS Sports UT 4th, Tech 8th; The Athletic UT 4th, Tech 8th; Big XII Coaches: UT 3rd, Tech 8th.

    Then Tech loses Devan Cambridge against Omaha.  Then Warren washington goes out down the stretch.

    Mkay...

    and Texas was without their best player for the entire OOC schedule, and Shedrick has been in and out of the lineup all season. So, I think your comparision is stupid.

    Not one person has said RT is in Hurley class and honestly I’m not sure Beard is either.  Someone said he was non elite, ie not in the bill self/izzo class 

     

    You were not pro RT hire either so don't come in with that "I don't like Derka but....." stuff.  

    100% of the board would have been in fulltime agreement that Beard was in several classes above Hurley going into last season. It's amazing what one season can do to change the perception of a coach. Until last season Dan Hurley had 0 NCCAT wins, and had a winning percentage .596 overall.

    I often don’t agree with Derka and his persecution complex can be fatiguing, but right now he is bitch slapping you people all over this board. He is right and the chef’s kiss was giving a counter example of Dan Hurley that proved his point.

    So you had Dan Hurley as an elite coach before last season? If you say yes, you are fucking lying to yourself. The guy that was trucking along at a .581 winning percentage in his 1st 10 years on the job with 4 lossing seasons and two NCAAT appearences. Even his 1st 2 NCAATs at Connecticut were first round upets. If Dan Hurley was at .608 and two bad 1st round upsets in his 1st four years at Texas, everyone of you fucktwats would be calling for him to be fired.

    Is McCasland  the comparison? Because he has coached his ass off this year, inheriting an absolute dumpster fire of a program while also losing the best player early on in the season, and playing the middle of conference without the existing best player on the roster.

    Case could easily be made that RT has had more to work with this season than McCasland.

    Lulz. Ok.

    Grant McCasland made the NCAA Tournament one time in 7 years coaching at UNT and Arkansas State. Rodney Terry made it once in 10 years at Fresno and UTEP. Not a huge difference.

    I agree that RT is not an elite coach and probably will never be one. But to date he is outperforming Shaka at Texas, who many thought was an elite coach both before and after his time at Texas. And the team has finished strong, both this year and last year - something we missed in the later Barnes years.

    If he makes the tournament every year, it is going to be hard to get rid of him.

    And non-elite coaches win the NCAAT. Just look at everyone's last-season preseason elitist of all elite coaches,Dan Hurley.

    so then it's a matchup against k-state at 6:00 on Wednesday.  that'd be a quad 2 win if we got it, correct?

    Yes, it's very unlikely they jump from 76 to 50 when the Net updates.

    Even if BYU loses tonight, we cannot take the #7 spot from them because they beat us, right?

    For Big12 conf tournament

    We can't take the 6th spot from them, we are locked in at 7. Since BYU beat both us and TCU, they would win the 3-way tiebreaker if BYU lost.

    i thought the late season injuries would kill them, but they keep finding a way to win  However I wouldn't be surprised if someone knocks them out in round 32 or 16 of the tourney. They don't play as well on the road.

    Their shooting is suspect, and any team that can get them in foul trouble and keep up with them on the boards as a chance to knock them out.
