  1. The issue for OU is they can't guard either of scorers (Disu and Abmas). We aren't having to defer to a 3rd guy.
  2. If Abmas pump fakes and goes up on a 3 he's going to be fouled.
  3. Please no Brock. Keep Weaver on the court.
  4. Once again we have 3 guys that can win. Abmas, Disu, and Mitchell. We just need a 4th to join them. Against Baylor it was Hunter. Tonight it's Weaver
  5. They're gonna have to start hedging Abmas. Roll to the basket if you're a big.
  6. OU has not defended that dribble hand off with Abmas well at all. Run that the rest of the game.
  7. I forgot that we didn't have Jones either against Baylor. We would likely have won against Baylor with just Jones.
  8. Baylor is now 4-3 in the Big 12 and they've had a lot of luck playing Texas without Harmon and K-State without Lee. They would almost certainly be 3-4 if Harmon was healthy or even if Texas played a couple games without her. They are never going to be the same program without Mulkey.
  9. Yeah, this Slocum news isn't even surprising based on the rumors that he's the one that made sure Elko was hired. It sounds like Slocum has real power in that group of old army idiots.
  10. Wasn't it confirmed that Slocum played a big role in Elko getting the job? The aggys love to mock Texas for having "too many cooks in the kitchen" or "BMDs making decisions" when it sounds like they legitimately have a bunch of old dudes running their program.
  11. PJ Tucker developed into the ideal 3 and D type NBA player. Mitchell has shown zero ability to shoot from 3 but maybe he can develop that part to his game.
  12. The key to the season are Brock (or his replacement Weaver) and Hunter. We have 3 starters that you can win with in Abmas, Mitchell, and Disu. If we get even decent level play from Brock or Hunter in Big 12 play we are 4-1 or 5-0. That's the frustrating part. The Baylor game is an example of what Texas can do when just one of those players show up.
  13. That's what you get with a good offensive coordinator. Herman was a good offensive coordinator. Your floor is pretty high when you're guaranteed a good coordinator on one side of the ball. The same applies to Sark. When is the last time Sark had an adjusted offense outside the top 35 range? It's been a long time. The difference is Sark is a better recruiter and PK is a much better DC than anybody Herman hired. So the ceiling is higher.
  14. The NET system seems pretty bad. 1) It rewards teams way too much for beating bad teams by a lot. 2) It puts way too much emphasis on road games.
  15. It's beyond time for Brock to be benched. In the last 7 games he's scored 0, 0, 2, 2, 0, 5, and 0 points. He has 2 FGs in 7 games and he's played a lot of minutes. That's just insane. He's in a funk like I've never seen.
  16. I'm not really sold. I wouldn't be shocked if they make a run because they can really score. But they are also atrocious defensively. They're now #73 in Adj D (Kenpom). They just gave up 96 points to a Georgia team today who is barely a top 100 adjusted offense.
  17. Illinois with Shannon makes them a legit title contender. They're already damn good without him and he's an All-American caliber player.
  18. They hired 3 assistants from a successful program because they thought it was the best option. It's no different than Terry except he had success in an interim role. The idea other schools would have taken a different route than Texas is pure fantasy. Nobody was going to get rid of Terry after an Elite 8 run, Big 12 tournament title, #5 Kenpom finish, and a ton of recruiting momentum. It was just a shitty situation where Texas was pretty much forced to hire Terry based on the circumstances.
  19. Who? Duke made an internal hire who had never been a head coach. UNC made an internal hire who had never been a head coach. Villanova just essentially made an internal hire after 1 bad season as a head coach at Fordham. Those are 3 basketball blue-bloods. Very few schools (if any) would have made a different decision than Texas after an elite 8 and Big 12 tournament title.
  20. Nah, I think a lot of people were just saying they knew Terry was going to get the job because of an Elite 8 run and Big 12 tournament title. We should have hired a more proven HC, but at the same time I realize it was a very weird situation. No program would have hired anybody other than RT after an Elite 8 run, Big 12 tournament title, and based on the fact Texas was trending for multiple 5 stars. I think where people are off base is blaming the admin/CDC/Eltife or whatever for hiring RT. No program would have taken a different course of action based on the circumstances/results.
  21. To a degree but we are only 7 deep now due to injuries. I guess maybe 8 if you include Jak's limited minutes. Muhammad and Faye are defensive players that we don't run offense through at all.
  22. Wait, Scooby Williams is a 4 star in the portal? He was almost unplayable for Florida. He's one of the worst tacklers I've seen.
  23. LSU would have potential if they just had 1 decent big. The issue is Will Baker sucks.
  24. Seems like a lot of players love Nansen. Apparently, most of the Arizona team was pushing for Nansen to be hired.
  25. That Arkansas team won't win more than a couple games in the SEC.
