  1. So this Texas team has 10 games remaining, which I don't think many will argue, make up the toughest portion of their schedule (hell I've seen some list it as the toughest finishing stretch in the country). But I'm a firm believer that challenges present opportunities. And there's definitely a bounty of opportunity left ahead of them to make some real attention grabbing noise nationally and boost their own confidence collectively. 

    So 6 games against KU, Baylor & Tech left(3-3 prediction): Baylor's come down to earth (3-3 in their last 6). KU has a great record, but as Saturday kind of illuminated, they aren't a 'great' KU team by any stretch. Tech - well this is our new Bball rival. For all the reasons everyone already knows. These are going to be absolute WARs I think. Tough physical ball games. I just hope they don't take too much of the teams going forward!!!

    Remaining 4, i can see us going 3-1 in ( ISU, @ hOeU, TCU & @ WVU): Iowa St we owe a lil something. And think by the time we get to those others we'll be playing better ball and it'll show.

    I get the feeling that Beard is building towards something (or damn it i want to believe that he is). But there's been so many years where we've peaked at this point in the season. Only to see expectations grow while our play plateaued or even receded at times. I just think the growth here with this veteran squad is little more incremental and not as noticeable. But here's to hoping that Texas is playing its best ball of the year in 4/5 weeks rather than at the end of January!!!

    I mean... if we go like 15-3 and make the tournament final I could see us nabbing a 2. We'd have to finish over one of KU or Baylor with maybe a 1-1 split with both. 

    Remaining conf record 13-3. Like you said with 4 games vs KU/Baylor, would mean they split and get a win against one of them. Plus Conf Tourney wins, would put them at something like 27(28 w Tenn win)-5 with a resume of wins over potential ranked opponents (KU or Bay, 2 vs Iowa St, 2 vs Tech, and another possible vs Tenn). That's pretty solid, imo! 2/3 seed very likely

    Absolutely true. It is not a good venue. Cavernous in many respects. This adversely affects capacity and noise level. Viewing experience is terrible. Too far away from court. Wood is dingy yellow. Decor and lighting is totally drab. I cannot imagine an easier place for an opponent. 

    Except when you’re facing crazy D. Then none of the above shit matters. Huggy is mad at his team. But he’s right. 

    Physical/Visual issues aside...once the novelty wears off, how much will the opening of the new arena help with the in game atmosphere (or lack thereof)?

    Even if he does shorten it, I don't see Jase getting excluded. Who knows. 

    I'd be fine with his minutes getting cut and removing him from the rotation now that we're in conference. He's not a must play every night by any means. He should only play out of necessity (foul trouble and/or injury) from here on out!

    Yes right after the report comes out silas is on the hot seat it made no sense. Why would a coach be on the hot seat when everyone know we were a 2-3 year tank for picks rebuild? Since then what’s our record? Like 8-2? So not sure what the FO wants for the season.

    Tells me whatever source put that report out is probably full of Sh!t and had no clue what they were talking about in regards to the Rockets specifically

    well i don't think anyone here was actually suggesting that trade, we just started talking about it because the trade machine said that it would technically work. i think the bigger, two part conversation is about a)how will the Pacers go about disbanding their team (because that's going to happen), and b)is GS a player when it comes to acquiring guys like Turner or Sabonis. 

    While I agree they're stale and boring, I'm not so sure that isn't exactly who they want to be! And honestly i don't tend to follow them just for the reasons you just laid out here...so where would you say their roster's deficient?

    They seem to be middle to upper middle of the pack in many team statistical categories. Just a middle of road kind of squad - sans rebounding. They're amongst the best in the league on the glass!
