  1. Every time Shedrick and Mitchell are on the floor together, an angel loses its wings
  2. Get Disu in now. It’s winning time. Who cares about the 3 fouls.
  3. Should we laugh or cry that at least half of them were wide open looks.
  4. 3 point defensive stats gonna improve tonight!
  5. Reputation foul for Brock on something perfectly clean
  6. He missed the WVU game because he got his wisdom teeth taken out earlier in the week.
  7. There are 20 other dudes just like Chris Johnson out there if he chooses to leave. I saw nothing in his limited minutes to make me think he should be playing more. The harsh reality is current age college basketball and the portal is it devalues dudes like Johnson who appear to be projects.
  8. Disu is literally Xavier Worthy when it comes to him always looking like he is out for the season then returning to the game 2 minutes later.
  9. Disu getting his entire arm yanked and he’s going for that pass
  10. Horton makes one 3 and all of a sudden thinks he is AJ Abrams.
  11. Considering Kansas State scored like 400 points their last trip to Austin I’ll take this defensive effort.
  12. Announcer calling Tyrese Hunter electric had me laughing
  13. Last year could be chalked up to rushing back and just not regaining command of his stuff yet. Now that he is two years removed any lingering command issues should have been ironed out by this point. The mystery physical setback referenced by Pierce seems to be the elephant in the room. If it is a bone spur, that is not good. If he got it operated on he wouldn’t be able to even pick up a ball for about 6 weeks and his season would very much be in jeopardy. On the same token, at least it would explain what we are seeing and not all hope would be lost for his future prospects. It sucks that the kid turned down huge money to try to bet on himself and try to lead this team back to Omaha, and this is how his season starts.
  14. Just watched the video. What am I missing? What’s the outrage over?
  15. Probably depends on who the two wins are against. If for some weird reason they win one of the remaining road games but finish 7-11 (unlikely), they would have a decent argument with 4 Q1 road wins and a NET that would be respectable. And as we’ve discussed, a 7-11 Big 12 team has made it each of the last two years while avoiding the play-in game. 7-11 where the two wins are KSU and OSU won’t be good enough and would require noise in Kansas City. Didn’t someone post the stat the other day about teams with a NET above 40 and the likelihood of making the tournament? We are currently 33rd.
  16. Having Mercer available would almost certainly allow us to move someone like Luke Harrison to the rotation. Domino effect. Sucks that this program is snakebit by the preseason or early season injury bug. Hamilton/Petrinsky 2019, Duplantier 2021 coming off the Covid season where he was throwing 94 with a wipeout slider, Witt 2022, Harrison 2023, Mercer 2024. Hell, might have to throw Witt in there again for 2024 again if they can't figure out what is wrong.
  17. Yeah, I almost bumped him out of first category but he's found a way in both his outings so far and had a good track record last year. I do agree though that I see him as more of a lefty specialist than true closer right now.
  18. Week 1 bullpen circle of trust update We trust you: Fontenot, Boehm, Shaw, Harrison, Shaw, Tole We are intrigued: Tumis, Grubbs, Howard We are okay with inherited runners scoring: Duplantier We think we trust you but please don't throw 84 again: Whitehead Too early to tell/we can't trust you yet: Selvig, Lummus, Hamilton
  19. Rebuilt pitching staff for OU looked pretty good this weekend. They brought 3 guys out of the pen who were pumping around 95 with good breaking balls. They have my attention a little bit. TCU is the opposite. They are fortunate they didn’t drop 2 of 3 to FGCU. All 3 starters got hit around and it was no fluke. 8.1 combined innings with 12 earned runs allowed.
  20. Specific quote from Pierce on Witt “He's still trying to work through so much,” said Pierce, who doesn’t know if Witt is dealing with a bone spur or something else that’s not allowing him to get full extension on his delivery. “We thought he was pretty far ahead about a week, 10 days ago. [He looked] really sharp and then had a little setback. In the bullpen, we felt like it was moving back in the right direction. “Unfortunately, it didn’t work for Tanner.”
