  1. That felt like tournament-level type of a comeback win. Take a team’s best shot in the first half, make adjustments and punch their ass in the mouth coming out the half…then absorb their desperation down the stretch to secure the Dub! Impressive in a number of ways. Definitely something they can draw from come March (not to mention, this 2-day turnaround can be used as prep as well)

  2. x/post paraphrasing from the game thread, Terry's decision to make Carr the primary ball handler for the final two minutes was a bad one. either Hunter or Rice has got to be the one to bring up the ball and initiate the offense in those situations.

    I mean pretty obvious and predictable at this point, right? We all know that in those situations he ain’t runnin offense (no matter the matchups on the floor or the kind of game he’s having). He’s gonna dribble the air out the ball so he can take the shot. I blame the coaches for not getting the damn ball out of his hands. And Not just Terry. Beard would do the shit too. Too many other experienced players to just rely on that shit now

  3. Biggest weakness imo is ball security/TO’s. PG play effects that directly. He’s the best PG option at the price point some others are going to be after as well...as long as he accepts and plays the same role he’s currently in. Would take ball out of KPJ’s hands altogether and allow Jalen to work off the ball exclusively. And I understand its about developing young talent, but tough for that talent to really progress when arguably your offense’s best passer is a 2nd year post player, sengun!

  4. Yeah, when they first got in the car and she started confronting him I was thinking maybe you should've done this before you'd gotten in. That whole series of scenes involving Tanya and Portia were making me squirm -- so fucking tense. Methodical to the point of almost being slow but ever-so-slightly ramping up the tension until the shootout and ensuing header over the rail. (Did the captain bail off the boat too? The scene of the remaining surviving "gay" sprinting and jumping off the back of the boat was hysterical.
    Yes, Daphne's scene where Ethan told her he thought something happened with Cam and Ethan was great. She got this weird look across her face and then she looked away, kind of shook her head and moved on to invite Ethan to come with her on their possible rendezvous. And then the dinner where they acted like nothing was amiss was just perfect. I loved everything about this season.

    I felt guilty laughing at how the guy was running to get off the boat…had me in stitches!!!

    The series of reactions by Daphne there was amazing acting. Just the range of emotions displayed on her face in such short period of time. Do folks like that really exist?

  5. I wish we had a true road test before we start conference play, I guess this neutral site will be as close as we get to one.

    Yep, a little concerning. Gonna have to cross that bridge when it comes. But most of this group knows what conference road games are about!
    Those home non-conf wins against ranked opponents still look good on a resume when seeding time comes around though!
  6. Creighton with 30 TOs in the last 2 games against Tech and Arkansas. Hound their guards and run, they are not a deep team yet. Their starting 5 is really good, but their depth is inexperienced and drop-off is pretty big.

    Yeah if you trap Nemhard and get the ball out of his hands. Think i heard them mention tonight he has 30 something assists on the season with only 5 TOs. Arkie had Black on him and didn’t seem to give him much trouble getting them in their sets
  7. Ramey currently 6-8 FG (3-3 3PM), 15 pts and 3 reb. 18:13 still to play.

    Seems to be playing with a little more freedom. Think he may have taken on too much “pressure” while here - to be an outspoken “leader” and defensive stopper. Not saying he shouldn’t have taken on those responsibilities. But maybe should’ve let more of those come to him. Good to see him doing well though
  8. F Klotz! I got pepper sprayed outside of “The Drink” one night because of his ass. He tried to hit on a buddy’s GF, group confrontation spilled outside onto 6th, I tried to play peacekeeper and APD comes over to diffuse the situation by pepper spraying the only brother involved…even though I was attempting to diffuse the SH! Only time in my life i’ve been sprayed. Although it did lead to a few co-eds kindly applying milk to my face

  9. Enthused to these young guys and how they mesh with the older dudes. Offensively I’m interested to see the approach. Are we going to be the typical “motion” kind of offense most teams run these days? Where you’re basically saying you’re going to out athlete, out-skill your opponent rather than out-execute them. Or will we utilize sets and body movement to help create looks for one another?
    On the defensive end, will we be more full court pressure? Or moreso what we were last year, by picking up half court and trying to lock in there. If personnel allows it, i’d love to see at least a compromise. Picking up 3/4s and making it difficult fir opposing offenses (especially those squads with limited ball handlers) from getting into their offense!
    I obviously havent followed the offseason additions as much as some, so i’m really kind of a blank slate when it comes to specifics but excited to see what Beard develops with another offseason under his belt!!!

  10. [lawyer hat] Ahem, under § 160.106 of the Texas Westorosi Family Code, all children born to a wife during a marriage are presumed to be the children of the husband. Further, if a proceeding to adjudicate parentage is not commenced within the first 4 years of the child's life, the presumption may not be challgenged. Therefore, the children are Leanor's under law, and therefore not bastards. [/lawyer hat]
    Kidding aside, we at least know that the kids are half Targaryen, since there's no question that they are Rhaenyra's kids. So we know that they have the blood of Old Valyria. 

    Right, i mean Allicent’s aren’t full Targaryen or royalty either. Hers are just as Targaryen and Royalty technically as Rhae’s, right? I mean how much different is House Hightower viewed/perceived than House Strong?

  11. I realize the question is about the last 5 Big XII games but I’m really hopeful we have 6 remaining this season. And getting this one this week will go a long way in making that happen. I dont see anyone running the table in conference. You just gotta get gritty W’s each week (no matter how they look stylistically)
