That was a nice little ass-whipping but this team isn't doing shit until they fix the turnovers. Starting with Vok. 

Maybe a little jet-lag is to blame. Here's hoping.

Not sure how the fuck Weaver went 2/9 against a D2 team that we shot 66% from the field against. 

This may be a long year. If we can scrap to .500 in the SEC and make the tourney I'll be impressed.

Man, Traore with another 14 rebounds last night in just 13 minutes.  The dude cleans the glass so well, but the rest of his game just isn't very good.  Dude is averaging 21.4 TRB/40 min, which is insane.

Traore and Codie have been the biggest negatives for me so far this season. Traore is basically Ze’Rik Onyema with a few more rebounds and Codie can’t protect the basketball, defend or score outside of dunks.

We know what we have with Vok and Swain.  Pope and Mark are consistently inconsistent.  They are not guards who can run an offense or handle a press/trap.  If Wilcher and Heide continue to gain minutes and confidence, and can provide consistent points, this team could be good enough to fight for a tournament spot.  We run the fast break fairly well and probably need to do that as much as we can to keep the pressure off Pope and Mark.   Mark did look better last night in the small forward/swing role with Wilcher and Weave on the court and Swain at PF.  He seemed more comfortable passing and driving out of that lineup.  The smaller line-up with this team is probably as big as our large lineup last year, so we can run that without getting punished if Traore and Vok defend and rebound ok.  We are basically as team with 2 guards, Wilcher and Pope.  Mark and Weav are basically small forwards, though Weav can defend 1-4.  Tonight's game should provide a good glimpse of what Miller thinks will be the most effective line-up(s) in SEC.

It was particularly disturbing against ASU .. at least to me .. that Vokawhatshisname, the tallest/strongest looking guy on the court, fiddled around with entry passes long enuf for his defender and help to get in his kitchen before attempting a shot.

Catch, shoot, go right back up to rebound if you miss.  Getting fouled while shooting isn’t the worst possible outcome …

i’ve been harping on this all year with Vok, every single time he touches the ball he brings it down below his waist for no reason. i’ve benched middle school kids for that. he drives me nuts.

i just do not like this team. nothing personal against any of the players, but this is a poorly constructed roster that’s full of holes that will not be filled by any amount of growth or familiarity. sec play will be brutal, and i honestly don’t even want to play in any postseason tourney that isn’t the big dance. i haven’t been this resigned this early since shaka’s 11-win team. this will be a lost year that is very tough to enjoy.

I honestly don't take much from games against D2 teams or the turds of D1. Tonight will be our third game against a team with a pulse. Hopefully it goes better than the first two. But our guard play is ass, and I've seen enough of mark to know you get shit play more often than you get competent play

I think what was most frustrating about the Miller hire is Oats. Alabama had a shit basketball program and somehow not only found him, but have kept him (so far). I just don’t buy the argument that Miller was the best Texas could expect given the state of the program. But maybe the administration really believes Miller can win big. We’ve got a ways to go before we find out.

Miller wasn't the best hire.  He was a comfortable hire, both as a coach and financially.

IMO Texas is quite overrated for a basketball job and most high level coaches won’t touch it.

You can sneak a lot of mediocrity into the beginning of the season because the fanbase is usually distracted by football

Ok, but do you believe Alabama was a better basketball job than Texas?
