    The reason Houston will get tripped up in the tournament is because the offensive stretch they are currently in happens far too often and someone will get hot against their defense.

    That’s said about them every year, and yet they’re consistently making the second weekend and putting themselves in position to contend for the title. I would take that in a heartbeat

    Mitchell has cost himself so much money.  He’s trending the wrong direction.

    He should transfer to a program that has an actual plan for him. Sampson at least would make him a pick-and-pop shooter and an amazing defender. Same for Scott Drew. It's reminiscent of how Shaka wasted so much talent and developed no one.

  3. The Texans’ needs seem to be interior offensive line, interior defensive line, wide receiver, and coverage safety. Some of those could be addressed when guys like Tank Dell return from injury. The temptation will be to focus on wide receiver in free agency, but getting a really good lineman like Chris Jones or DJ Reader should be the priority.

    Most of the stats favor Texas. The glaring ones that do not are related- rebounds, points in the paint, and fg attempts.  

    Being so bad at the Four Factors reminds me of a certain former coach at Marquette who was notorious for similar stat lines while here.

    Oh - by the fucking way - we aren't firing him until likely the end of next season at the least.

    So anyone commenting "he probably doesn't get fired this season" - yeah no fucking shit. 

    Y'all realize the dipshit before him went six fucking full seasons at Texas without winning a tournament game. 

    Not without making a nice run - without winning a damn game. 

    Terry was at the helm when we won the B12 tourney and made the EE and should have went further. 

    Dude gets 2 full seasons no fucking question.

     

    (That said I will be here with the rest of you demanding he resigns 12 games into his 2nd season)

    And that absolutely should not be how we operate a basketball program at this university. Sunk cost -> move on. We can have actual standards with this program. This isn't a criticism of you but the administration if they're going to treat basketball differently.

    We weren't an elite defense last year, and we will not be an elite defense this year. You can't be an elite defense when you start two 6' guards. This team needs to score in the 80s consistently because the offense can be lethal.

    We absolutely were in the top 10 in defense before Beard left. When Terry took over, we fell to around 100. We also aren’t scoring in the 80s on offense when our guards are Abmas, Hunter, Horton, and Weaver. 

  7. People keep talking about missing two big men. College basketball is guard dependent, and we don't have good guards or good depth. I don't see how Disu or Shedrick overcome those problems unless we get multiple guards to make shots consistently.

    Geez man at least wait till we’ve lost more than we’ve won? 

    This is called we came into this tournament preparing to play uconn on Monday and Louisville came to play texas on Sunday. Can’t overlook anyone.

    I’ll agree to disagree. We don’t look good and have no identity. That’s the case so far even if we’re looking ahead.

    I got de-ported today. Let’s hope that mofo doesn’t ever have to go back in.

    Congrats, brother! I got my port out a week ago. Apparently the downside of being young was having new tissue growing all over the port and securing it really tightly in there. They had to take some sort of blunt tool to dig it out., giving me a really big bruise. I hope we're done for good!
