    GT is 78 in Sagarin, so losing to GT wouldn't be some amazing colossal upset.

    No, but them being 78th in the country may well explain why Banks can get 25 minutes per game on that team but not here at Texas.

    I'm done with this. You are a smart guy and I realize you are just needling me here. Fuck off.

    1) it's just funny in general because you are beyond irrational re: Shaka

    2) you acted like a player's performance at GT was irrelevant regarding TX because of how bad GT is. They are in the top 20% of college basketball teams in the country, using your own metric, and play in one of the two best hoops conferences in the country. It's not like he's in the SWAC.

    3) Against teams outside the Top 50 in Sagarin, Texas is 6-4 and GT is 8-3.  Just sounds like GT is a little bit better at playing Cupcake World Tour games?

    4) I can admit the obvious truth that Texas is a better basketball team than Georgia Tech. Why can you not admit the obvious truth that outside of beating Purdue and Kansas seven years ago, Shaka Smart has ranged from mediocre to abysmal as a college basketball coach and is dramatically over his head at Texas?

    You're obviously just trolling me. Your arguments here are not only bad, they are factually wrong. How is 78th out of 350 in the top 20%? That must be Sooner math. And even if your math wasn't wrong, it's still another dumb argument--what does being in the top 20% matter in a 350-team league where UT-San Antonio has a team?

  3. If Texas were to face Georgia Tech on a neutral court today, the spread would be -9 for Texas. So the argument that these two teams are similar in strength sucks almost as much as Oklahoma does.

  4. You think #78 in the country, Georgia Tech, is similar to the #30 Texas, because they have one less win than Texas? Half these teams just got done playing the Cupcake World Tour in their own arenas, win loss records mean utter jack-fuck at this point in the season.

    C'mon Sooner, you're smarter than that.

    yeah, they said that, but then when the team came running out of the tunnel on TV it looked like he was 100% fine. does anyone remember exactly when they announced he would be out? was it the day of the game again, like with Roach?

    It's an official injury, all over the papers. Here's the Houston Chronicle story: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/longhorns/article/Texas-forward-Jericho-Sims-out-indefinitely-with-13511792.php

    James Banks, another of these players who Shaka had no use for, is playing 27.6 mpg for Georgia Tech, averaging 9.3 pts, 8.0 reb (3.2 Off.), and 2.4 blocks per game. Shaka has spurned a whole bunch of decent college talent to his and the program's detriment, and there's really no logical explanation as to why that is. 

    Do you know the reason why James Banks gets 27.6 minutes per game for Georgia Tech is because Georgia Tech sucks? You should be lauding the fact that our overall talent level at Texas is such that "decent college talent"--your own words--can't get playing time here. Instead you make the moronic argument of saying we should've "kept around" this "decent" talent that can get PT at struggling programs around the country? Fucking idiot. GT isn't in the Pom top 50. We are at least 30th.

    Upward arc?

    Current national Pomeroy ranking: #29

    Last year's final ranking: #36

     

    Current talent level: 8.4 

    Last year's talent level: 7.6

     

    If we hadn't lost in Stillwater, none of you would be making all these negative posts. Instead you would be saying "wow, i'm cautiously optimistic" and things that. But the difference between winning and losing in Stillwater is a couple of coinflips, you insufferable morons... why should your opinion of his entire tenure be based on a couple coinflips? That's what makes you a moron--that instead of looking at longterm arcs, you look at one loss and lose your shit.

  8. It don't make a shit.

    The team is on an upward arc, overall, and that is what is asked of Shaka right now. No one likes losing in Stillwater, but the season goes on. We are still throwing out a substantial force of talent on the floor (though I wish they'd get better at shooting) and we are facing nothing other than the same adversities that all teams face during the middle of the season.

    The panicky nature of many of y'all's evaluations of Shaka is stupid and uncalled-for.

    Hostile environment?? From what I could tell that place wasn’t near full.

    Why does it have to be full to be hostile? That day TJ got mugged was a Saturday, but it's tougher to play in Gallagher-Iba on a weeknight, out of the spotlight, when its just the die-hard fans who demand that their team get away with murder, and usually get an obliging ref crew.

    I thought Culver's success had a lot to do with Texas playing a lot with 4 guards.

    If we were in a 4-guard lineup that would make it even harder to stop him, but I think it mainly had to do with Culver being a beast of a man. This dude is a 6'10" freshman and he seemed to have pretty good body control out there and an ability to knock down basic shots. That guy is going to tear up the Big12. Although I did notice he seemed to have some bad body languange, like he might be a hothead who's gonna get in foul trouble or other composure issues.
