That floating jump shot is wicked.  I can't remember a Texas big who could consistently hit that shot in maybe the last 15 years.

And the guy is always having fun.

It's an extremely difficult shot. Watching him these last few weeks it's become evident that he works his ass off. You can't hit those hooks and floaters like he does as consistently as he does without putting in thousands and thousands of reps. 

He's also an decent ball handler. So is Bishop and even Mitchell. The fact that everyone on our 8 deep can handle and pass is part of why this is such a good team.

Forget a Texas big. I don't remember any Texas player,  big, wing,  or guard, hit that shot as consistently as him.

The one off the glass was magical.  OK not magical because he was so confident that it was going in, but still..

isaiah taylor comes to mind, but his was a straight line floater. disu has an entire bag of floaters from different angles off of different moves. his touch in that department is jokic-esque. world class touch and dexterity from disu.

no that shit was magical. i commented at the time that that will be one of the highest degree of difficulty shots that anybody makes in this entire tournament. i'm getting as excited over disu floaters as i used to get over a clack or a kerwin roach dunk, and that one had me just like:

I'm trying to think of another situation where a player has improved like this in-season. Like, a fairly pedestrian player, suddenly becoming the best player on an already very good team. Not just in basketball, but in any sport. 

Linsanity, except for the whole "the team is good" part.

John Harris in football might be close in terms of coming out of nowhere but neither he nor the team were as good as Disu and this team are right now. 

Edit - looked up Harris's game log and he wasn't a mid-season development. I remembered that incorrectly.

In 1990 Hadnot came out of nowhere midseason. But he was a true freshman, so a little different.

Disu hustled on both sides of the floor and although he missed a few shots towards the end of the first half, they were money in the second.  Just dominated inside and from mid.  Also, defensively, I think this team really fed off his early hustle 'cause they got after PSU on the defensive end.  At times, Texas gets too guard oriented, mainly because they're so athletic, which is great. PSU had great hands defensively inside, making it difficult to dribble drive.  But feed Bishop and Disu and make sure they stay involved.

The turnaround with 2 seconds on the shot clock....at that point was there any doubt it was going in? What a shot that was. I jumped off the couch.

I was in the nosebleeds and the only Texas fan in my section. Pretty sure everyone around me thought I had lost my mind. Admittedly, I was going nuts during the last 4:45. I’m just so used to the feeling I had when we went down three evolving into pain and a loss after so many years, it was truly one of the most satisfying Longhorn wins I have been at in any sport. I’m addicted to the thrill and headed to KC, ready to watch these guys battle again. Jobs not finished. Not even close.

Who can forget the magical development of Will Baker. Lets take a trip back to 2/19/21 with the horns on a 4 game losing streak, and TCU strolling into the Irwin center. "The Thrill" erupts for 20 pts on 67% shooting, leading the horns to critical win allowing us to salvage the season. From that moment on, it only got better as.....uh, let me check here, uh...Will uh....never mind.

Still laugh at that season game log.

Hah great callout, that’s insane. Dude scored 20 points in a game, less than 50 for the year, and there were no suspensions/injuries involved - I bet that doesn’t happen an average of one time a year across all of D1.

There was some pitcher for some team (I think it was the Orioles?) in the early 60s who had something like a 6-19 record, but 5 of his 6 wins were against the Yankees and 4 of the 5 were compete game shutouts…
