Spot on. I love living in everyone’s heads rent free. It is the ultimate projection of envy.
It’s called “brand enhancement”!
Something unique/special to Texas and Texas alone! No other athletic program conjures up the type of emotions/energy of other fanbases across their entire sports platform like we do! They do it cause they think its a “cool” thing to get shown doing…And the media knows it as well, so they show/encourage it every chance they get to stir things up even more!
So F’em, I can’t wait to see a couple more fanbases take their turns doing it in OMAHA as well!

this Texas tema is, by far, the best team i have ever seen at taking charges. Ivey is so athletic and creative that he has a tendency to get out of control at times. i would love nothing more than two charging fouls on Ivey before the U16 timeout. that's the dream right there. if he sits for long periods then i absolutely can see us going blow for blow with Purdue.
Dont get me wrong, I’ll take him getting into early foul trouble. But i have confidence in our perimeter defenders. They’ve shown to be able to control to some degree good perimeter players (i.e. Agbaji, etc). I just feel its more important for our offensive success to get those bigs (Edey/Williams) into some foul trouble as well. Saw someone post that they dont play heavy minutes to begin with, but even less mins would be even more ideal imo.

This team is coming together and has been playing its best ball as of late. As i mentioned in the season thread, our veteran guards have been nails lately, Timmy Allen has established himself as a go-to player for us, Bishop has become a force around the rim, and even guys like Askew, Febres, and Brock have been contributing here and there. If Disu can somehow get healthy then even as a guy who plays 12-15 minutes in a game he can really contribute with defense and rebounding. I really like what i've been seeing from these guys as we approach the postseason.
now, here's the first, and most glaring thought that comes to my mind when we talk about Texas in the tourney: we have got to avoid teams with great size. watching Tennessee play Auburn and Kentucky recently has me in full Mack Brown mode. the thought of facing either of those teams, and any teams like them, just scares you to death. I don't think that we have any answer for guys like Kessler, Jabari Smith, or Tshiebwe.
with that said, our defense, and the way we take teams out of their comfort zone should play very well in March, as it has throughout Chris Beard's career. if we win our opening game then some 4 or 5 seed team is going to have about a day and a half to prepare for a defense and a style of play that they simply are not used to seeing. so while i think we have a ceiling of reaching the Elite 8, i really do think we could see ourselves in the Sweet 16 with the right matchups. regardless, i haven't been this excited to enter the postseason in years.
I couldnt agree more on the issues we have dealing with teams that are strong/athletic/productive on the interior. We have difficulties guarding and keeping them off the glass, especially late in games closing out good defensive possessions with rebs. Bryson Williams & Timme smoked us offensively and Thamba & Co. worked us on the backboard. I dont think there’s much we can do scheme-wise honestly, just have to hope we get a draw where we can avoid that for a couple rounds.
My biggest concern is also maybe one of our biggest strengths, which is weird. But we play grind it out tough games. Unless its just a bad match-up i dont see anyone blowing us out, but even when we’re “on” our style of play tends to keep most teams in games as well. And to me thats concerning come March. Its called Madness for a reason and the longer a team stays in a game the more chances there are for them to create some magic and steal one to send ya home!!! But thats just kinda who we are right?

two seconds on the shot clock. watch for a long rebound.
Gotta sure up this defensive backboard…rebounding has killed us recently

Timmy Allen’s energy and putting him at top of the press has changed this game!!!

His aggressiveness is paramount!!!

This team has:
•no size
•no athletes
•no shooters
This team is:
•19-7 (8-5, 15-1 at home)
•no. 14 in KenPom (10th in AdjD, 30th in AdjO)
•well coached
•designed to win in the tourney
we've got a top 10, possibly top 5 coach nationally, with a bona fide top 5 staff of assistants, and a top 10 recruiting class incoming. just wait until Beard gets a roster full of his own guys. we are in unbelievably great shape moving forward, considering what was left when our previous coach left.
Looking like a tough gritty group that doesnt mind being in close games coming down the stretch!

Really starting to look like a team that has what it takes to win tough tourney games. If they can keep themselves in games (which their defense tends to do), they seem to have what it takes to grind out close W’s…sans that KSt game

If OU wants to make the tournament they need to keep Tanner Groves on the bench. Needs to play less than 20 minutes a game.
The broadcasters kept talking about "the Groves brothers have been nonexistent so it's a miracle they're in the game" which made me chuckle all night. Groves simply doesn't have the athleticism to play at this level which is why Texas prioritized some other bigs over him in the transfer portal. In Austin, Texas was head hunting Groves on both ends.
The worst news for Texas all night was the fact neither Groves brother played much.
Interested to see the (+\-), but they seemed better when Groves wasnt on the floor!

Not a good loss. Could move Tech down a seed line.
Eh, i mean technically its a loss to a projected tourney team on the road in conference. If they truly were the top #3 seed, i cant see this moving them all the way off the 3 seed line. But what do i know?

This is why I'm not sold on UH in march. They are well coached and talented, but shorthanded. I'm not sure they can endure the tourney grind.
Yeah they didnt seem to have anyone they trusted (or any player who wanted) to take the ball and get a shot when SMU turned up their pressure the last part of the game. Serms like their offense has to really be executing well for them to get shots within it

Just goes to show how it gets tougher and tougher to go on the road and get wins the later you get into a season!

SMU just took the lead vs. Houston at home...they were down 15 earlier in the 2nd half
And Houston takes it right back
Tie game 81 All with 45 secs left

Kansas is SOFT in the paint...McCormack and Lightfoot are not that good. Their strength comes from their perimeter guys also being able to rebound and run out. They score a lot because of those backcourt guys being able to pass, drive and shoot well. I'd give them all the shots int he paint they wanted if it means they don't make jumpers. Their bigs will turn it over a lot if you can bait them into pounding it down to them. I think the Horns win this one, rather easily, too. I see a 10+ point victory.
I like the way you see it playing it out…hope ur prediction is spot on!

Kansas hoops team and staff just walked through the hotel. I know it's a basketball team, but holy shit---they look tall even for a basketball team. I'm 6'1" and not even the equipment manager was at eye level with me. The coaches conversation in the hallway sounded like the kinda shit Ted Lasso would be talking about on gameday with Beard and Kent.
Let's pull off the upset!
If there’s anything you can do to help your team’s chances tonight, I’m sure no one here would object/blame u for doing so…ijs!

Over/Under 131.5
Imo if you like Texas’ chance to win tonight it MUST stay under the proposed total! I dont like their chances to “outscore” KU. Gotta control/contain them offensively to give themselves a legit chance to get the dub!
