    Terry and the guys did a good job pressuring CSU and making them uncomfortable. 

    Tennessee is the better constructed team with better high end talent so they should win tomorrow, but at the same time Barnes has only made 2 sweet 16s since he got there in 2015 so they're capable of laying an egg

    Outside of Knecht they are also not a very good shooting team. Just like CSU outside of Stevens. However, Knecht is a much tougher guard than Stevens.

    and we pulled the game out because of that...

    We were up 2+ possessions the entire 2nd half. CSU never had the ball with the chance to take the lead for the final 30 minutes of game action. We didn't pull the game out.

    Pulling out a game is what Kansas did when they squandered a 21-point 2nd half lead and needing shitty officiating to not let Samford have the ball with a chance to win the game with under 15 seconds left.

    There has to be some type of data out there that compares 3 point percentage in the regular season versus the first round of the NCAA tournament for each team. I bet it's much lower, on average. in the 1st round. 

    This is why I've come to fade teams like BYU that are so reliant on the 3. For whatever reason, college teams can't shoot early in the tournament. 

    It's because the teams get a week to prepare for their round of 64 opponents. After the round of 64, you get 30-40 hours to prepare for your next game.

    tech needs their cut guy to stop the bleeding or this game might be over...

    NC state   59          tech  49      10:30 left

    Another coach that derka claims is better than Terry getting run off the court, by a team that is only in the tournament because they ran off 5 wins in 5 days.

    We need 30+ from Weaver against Tennessee.

    1) He needs to guard 1 of Zeigler or Vescovi

    2) We need a guard that attacks the rim against Tennessee's ball pressure. As aggressively as they play you have to attack them off the dribble which is Weaver > Horton. 

    3) Tennessee struggles a good bit on the glass at times. Weaver is a pretty good offensive rebounder. 

    We need 30-35 from Disu and Abmas. Closer to 40 would be best, but Barnes is going to make sure those 2 don't beat them. This will be a game where Hunter needs to go crazy. We need Cunningham, Hunter, and Horton to make 4+ 3's.

    It's got to kill him that his alma mater hasn't missed a step since he decided to be a bitch.

    Define "missed a step". Texas took a huge step back this year from last year. They rode the momentum of what Beard built last year. He was on his way to building something pretty good here.

    1st coach in 15 years to make it to the round of 32 in consectutive tournaments.

    Cool.  This guy and Derka align.  
     

    we miss shots. Bad coaching.   They miss shots.  Rodney got lucky damn it. 
     

    I fully expect Tennessee to run us off the court.  
     

     

    but am relieved to see that Derka and helob have the same thoughts

    I am thinking helo was being sarcastic, but he's usually an idiot so maybe I am giving him to much credit.

    Landale can play some. Adams is a playoffs enforcer, but not much else.  Do they need 3 centers + Amen outathleting bigs? I would have waited out a salary cap strapped contender and dealt Oladipo’s expiring deal for a late first round lotto ticket. 

    He's doing the same thing he did last year with Phoenix. Their staring big got hurt and he started getting run and played well, it's why the Rockets gave him that contract. Two years in a row, the starter goes down and Landale starts to ball. Rockets have a lot of decent pieces, they need to figure out the rotation so that they optimize them all.

    We just made it to thebround of 32 for the second straight year. It's like yall forgot about the Shaka years. I'm happy. We can beat Tennessee. Let's not forget that Colorado state team beat Creighton. 

    The last time Texas made it to the round of 32 in consectutive years (with the same coach) was 2008-2009, when Barnes reached that level for the 4th straight year.

    Yeah, I think this is why RT went bigger than he normally does with Disu and Shedrick together. 

    The entire idea was to guard that paint and live with a few open 3s. 

    Not just open 3's, but open 3's from their bad shooters. Hunter and Weaver took their best player off the court with ball denial the entire game.

    Strong, Lake, Palmer went 3-11 from BTA. Those 3 combined to shoot .278 on the season, and Texas let them shoot nearly 50% of their attempts tonight. Texas had this team figured out the entire game. You want to talk about some of their other shooters missing shots, well so did Abmas and Disu, they missed wide open shoots all game, shit Abmas missed 3 FTs. It happens.
