Texas basketball '21-'22: Welcome Chris Beard

[ztejas 42744]

K State won't keep this up. They're going to be gassed by the 2nd half. We look okay - could be a little sharper on both ends.

Texas is asleep early. Getting wide open 3s but can't hit them. 

And k state making circus shots. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

You have to get the ball inside but Ramey has to pull up from 3 if they're giving you a wide open 3. 

Which seems to be K-State's gameplan in this one.

Disu scored easily both times inside. K-State is gonna pack the paint and force us to hit some open 3s. Somebody has to do it. 

He didn't score easily he hit two pretty tough looks. They're playing good D but they are expending a ton of energy. Just give it time.

Yeah, I don't think this is sustainable. They've hit about 3 or 4 insane shots already.

Careless dumb turnovers 

Not impressed with effort of Horns so far.  Just going through the motions.

I know Beard doesn't like criticism, but this is currently a bad offensive Texas team

It's not pretty at times but somebody has to make shots. About 4 missed wide open 3s. 

[TexArcher 36904]

K State will be gassed as fuck in the second half.  Just get this thing level by halftime and we should have no problem.

They’re down their best bigs. Go inside or drive and get them in foul trouble 

Probably hanging out past the arc so kstate isn’t guarding them close and breathing all over them

Shorthanded KSU has no fouls through 9 minutes. At home. 

Im shocked. The opposite of that OU game last year where we were short handed and couldn’t breath at home without it being a foul

Marcus Carr is balling. 

[LTtxfan 48688]

Askew has been really disappointing so far this season 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Gonna be one of those nights where K-State hits a billion circus shots apparently. 

[ztejas 42744]

These dudes are running a full court man to man press with 7 scholarship players available. If they aren't up 10 at half they're in serious trouble. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

We are getting far better looks in this game. 

[perfectchaos007 6527]

Texas shooting 20% from 3

Sounds about right. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

2/10 from 3 and about 8 were wide open.

Carr will probably determine the fate of this team for this season.

(So hard to count on Ramey, AJ, and Febres in clutch time.)

[Js1 82364]

This game is frustrating as fuck. We look so totally unready

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

Texas isn’t a good three point shooting team. Last game was Texas just being hot. Tonight is more in line with how we shoot the deep ball. Teams short handed by covid is the worst thing any coach wants to see because your team comes in playing lazy and not engaged because they think they can show up and win and right now that’s what is happening to Texas.

They're not exactly rimming out, either. I think the rim has been bent they're clanking on it so badly.

[perfectchaos007 6527]

We need to stop jacking up 3s and start driving to the paint more. They have 7 players... Get them in foul trouble

[texasstrong12 4668]

K-State is packing the paint and forcing us to hit open jump shots. 

[ruitxn 295]

Score?

Andrew Jones isn't clutch? I don't think he's a great player but c'mon man. And Ramey doesn't shy away from the moment either. I don't know about Febres because Shaka didn't play him last year.

And Blanks trying to make excuses, like, "this is a totally different team than what you prepared to play against."  GTFO.

I still think we'll pull away, but this is a frustrating first half.

Crazy the 3 guys you can’t count on are Shaka guys. Hmmm…

Just tuned in late, but pretty sure I heard Texas had to fly in today due to Covid protocol.

Definitely sleep walking out there so far...I

This team lacks consistent shooters which is the biggest issue. Ramey, A. Jones, Carr and Febres can get hot certain nights but they're inconsistent. 

[Jasper_Jester 356]

Stop taking 3's Texas

 

[ztejas 42744]

Carr wtf are you doing bro.... 

[texasstrong12 4668]

We're in big trouble.

AJ has not looked good several times this year -- not sure how his health situation is going though.

[TexArcher 36904]

Hey, a shot in the paint, what an idea.

[Js1 82364]

1 foul in 15 minute. We clearly don’t want to tax their depth, that would be unfair 

[Fudbelty 2765]

Did he really say “you have to gang rape against Texas?”

Yea we’ve lacked consistent shooters for a decade.

All guards, and obvious weakness of this team.  Carr needs to ball for the offense to really go

[Wulaw Horn 18917]

Any reason we don’t have a game thread?

No we aren't. 

[SDG 3319]

Can we put the GA in for a couple minutes to get us tied up?  

[texasstrong12 4668]

Ramey doesn't know how to handle a defense like this that sags. Febres yelling at him to do something.

I dog on AJ as much as anyone here. He proved to be a clutch dude last year. 

[Mo Horn 8680]

We're getting handled by an average team with only 7 players. That's not good, right?
