  1. Frank Haith was actually well known for running great ATOs. I know his being black and all sort of obscures this fact, but he's being hired for more than just recruiting.
  2. Yep i forgot most of the names of the guys on that squad, but Randy Duck was a legend in Garland at that time.
  3. Terry recruited Richard Johnson (Tre's father) when he was an assistant at Baylor. However, Richard only played at Baylor for one year before leaving. So while Baylor may seem to be the bigger draw for Tre it's a little more complicated than it appears on the surface.
  4. I believe Beard has already filled out his Ole Miss staff.
  5. Going to UT and being associated with the university was extremely important to Holland and his family. That's why he was so steadfast when commenting on his commitment after the Beard fiasco. It would've taken a complete disaster of a season for him to decommit. And he more than likely would've just gone on to the G league rather than committing to another school.
  6. Surprisingly, Gerry says he's a much better shooter than what he showed us this year. If he comes back and can take a massive jump offensively that would be huge.
  7. Pretty sure he got to the sweet 16 a few years ago and of course he did it again this year.
  8. Are you referring to this?
  9. This stat is amazing if true.
  10. Izzo must've lost the tape.
  11. Forget a Texas big. I don't remember any Texas player, big, wing, or guard, hit that shot as consistently as him.
  12. Reading through this game thread makes me glad I stopped posting in most bball game threads, especially during the tournament. We have an inordinate amount of bitchass, chicken little posters around here who are ready to throw in the towel at the first sign of adversity, seemingly more than most fan bases. We also apparently have a bunch of dummies who believe that basketball teams have an unlimited stash of timeouts. Like Borzello referenced above Terry and the coaching staff showed their wares down the stretch. That open floor pick n roll gave Dylan and Marcus Carr a lot of room to.make magic happen down the stretch and it's literally something we pulled out of our asses cuz I haven't seen us run a pick n roll like that on the weak side all year. It totally surprised Penn St and caught them off guard.
  13. Dylan Disu may have the best and most consist touch around the basket of any Texas big man over the last 20 years, certainly since Brad Buckman. I know some of yall may say LaMarcus Aldridge, but he was more of 15' shooter during his time on the 40. He was a bean pole back then and didn't really look to get within 8' of the basket.
  14. Can't argue too much with that, we haven't been to the sweet 16 in 15 years.
  15. Not only that, but we seem to have a good eye for finding free agents and draft picks who fit and at times excel in DQ's defense.
  16. A lot coaches gave up their suit game in the wake of covid. There are only a few coaches remaining who still wear suits for every game.
  17. He shot 41% from 3 this year and had the most 3pt makes in the Pac 12. For comparison none of our guards shot above 36% from 3 this year.
  18. The committee attempted to do the same thing in Shaka's first season back in 2016, but we fucked it up by losing to Northern Iowa on a halfcourt shot.
  19. Was just about to post the same thing, but of course since I'm streaming my feed is about 2 weeks behind everyone else.
  20. Wasn't the 2011 team rated somewhere around 7 in kenpom yet got a 4 seed in one of the alltime seeding atrocities in NCAA tournament history?
  21. Rumor had it that we destroyed UofH in preseason scrimmages. The only team I wouldn't want to face is Purdue and maybe Bama. I wouldn't mind Houston.
  22. I think it's a relic of the past. This current view of analyzing college sports in a parochial manner where we compare overall conference strengths is relatively new and truly stems from SECization of college sports. Back in the day when college basketball was more prominent the NCAA looked to reward schools that sought a lot of good intersectional matchups and gave the networks great TV inventory. Now that college sports have devolved down into dick measuring contests between conferences we don't value these noncon matchups as much.
  23. Not necessarily the worst 15 seed, but for sure we will be in the overall bracket of the worst #1 seed if we are the best #2 seed. I don't think they worry too much about matching the worst 15 seed with the best 2 seed. Their major concern is location of games and not matching up conferences mates too early within the same bracket..
  24. Or better yet, play in a preseason holiday tournament. Typically you get 1 or 2 teams in the 75 to 100 range and then a team in the top 40 range and then if you make the finals you typically get a team in the top 15 to top 10 range. Add in 3 or 4more top 75 teams and then even it out with some 150s to 175s and 1 or 2 200s and 300s and voila your noncon will be guaranteed to be in the top 25 easily.
