  1. Who needs any of those other guards when you can get an Arterio Morris? 😡
  2. I guess Baylor's decent for a team that brought back only one starter and is getting big minutes from freshmen. We can't guard any of them.
  3. All that really matters now is Disu's health.
  4. Earth to Mitchell. Come in, Mitchell. And several other guys, while we're at it.
  5. I'm a little tense. A 15-1 Texas run here would ease that.
  6. I'll start with hoping we play really well tonight (win or lose) before venturing such guesses.
  7. That was a well-finished win. Multiple guys played under control as the game went on and made good decisions. Brock's solid work on the glass really helped us pull away.
  8. Watching now? We're making a horrible opponent look decent...on our floor.
  9. After how Shedrick dominated against Louisville, it was depressing not to have him against the Huskies. Not sure we'll ever see him do that against anyone again, given how he's looked since the injury. Maybe Disu and Weaver would make up for that in a rematch, but even at full strength we'd probably still be a heavy underdog. Would love a chance to prove we shouldn't be.
  10. What was Barnes trying to say, then? Because he said some other things that made about as little sense, from a Texas fan's perspective. Regardless of quotes, though, he recruited extremely well but to a great extent squandered that talent in March. Not that he's the only coach to do so, but his last few Texas teams trended downward as the season went on. His overall record belied those swoons.
  11. For a couple years late in Rick's tenure at Texas, no school produced more solid draft picks with less to show for it. When he followed up a string of disappointing postseasons with quotes like this, I think we all knew he was on thin ice: "We would love to win a national championship, but we're not obsessed with it because we're obsessed with these guys trying to live their NBA dream. What's happened to Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, T.J. Ford -- I'd give up a national title for all of our guys to be able to live their dream." https://www.barkingcarnival.com/2011/06/29/rick-barnes-and-the-nagging-question
  12. We're a perfect example of a team that could stun a 2 or 3 seed or look inept in losing to them by 23. Would welcome another crack at Marquette but am hardly confident we'd beat them. It's probably a coin flip that we'll even reach that round. We seem to have trouble building on any big win. Maybe today and Monday will show we can.
  13. Following online, I can't tell if we're a bunch of Mario Mendozas or the LSU pitcher is Sandy Koufax...or both.
  14. We now know why he couldn't tackle in space.
  15. Hmmm. Who make up your 7 deep for Texas next season? If one of them is a 6-10 or taller freak of nature with skills now playing at another college, and another is a big, quick transfer guard who can shoot, I might agree with you. But those are hardly givens, no matter how the freshmen pan out.
  16. Two years ago, she was a crucial late-season spark plug. This year, she's been misfiring repeatedly. Not sure what's up, but she's not leading this young team by the best of examples.
  17. I don't think Mitchell will suddenly learn to shoot in the pros. So what will he be with all that height, wingspan and athleticism? I fear he'll be Kai Jones without the dance moves.
  18. They made jumpers. Except for Booker, we didn't make anything. Did Gonzales even score in the second half? And why can no one grab the ball when it matters? Just a really bad effort on many fronts. Still, but for a couple really tough calls, we'd have won anyway. As infuriating a loss as we've had.
  19. We're getting nothing offensively out of some folks who normally score. Booker's exhausted and simply can't do it all.
  20. Need a big dose of Disu right now, then Abmas later.
