Maryland-Eastern Shore vs. Texas One Last Cupcake or Crabcake Before SEC Play


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Mark takes it to the hole a couple of times and Vok back in the game.

Texas with a 26-18 lead at the 8:28 mark first half.

Top notch guards are going to work the Texas defense off the dribble in SEC play.

When Pope is hot, it certainly helps. Not sure why we can't run plays to get Heide similar looks from the arc.

Edit: Now we get him two good looks, and he misses both. Sigh.

Texas turns the ball over repeatedly and its ugly at Moody.

Texas leads 34-28 with 3:39 to go in the first half.

Swain seems to forget he has four teammates on the floor.

Half comes to an end and Texas leads 40-34.

Maryland-ES is 6/12 from behind the arc and Texas is 4/15.

Pope has all four and is 4/8 on treys missing his last two.

Watching these kinds of games has just become a beating.

awful...

Nobody seems to be enjoying the game … everyone just going through the motions … zero inspiration … minimal competitive fire

I hope these fans that showed up are getting a good holiday discount on concessions

I like Wilcher's game more than I expected to. And Swain's less by the week.

The team's energy (and Moody Center energy) is about equal to the night we played Rice less than 24 hours after Chris Beard was arrested. Guess this is the new normal

MDES is certainly better than LeMoyne, that is of course a low bar.

Texas going inside more and has slowed down the threes from MDES.

Texas leads 66-51 at the 9:39 media timeout in the second half.

I think miller encouraged Swain that he’d be the go to guy and have a lot of liberty to create his own shots … time to reel him in now that he’s forcing things and kind of ignoring the teammate with a better shot more than he should

The guy seems to randomly turn it on and off. Physically a mismatch for most guys he's faced so far, but lackadaisical for long stretches on both ends of the floor. Not the composed player we seemed to see in Maui. I could say much the same about Mark's focus.

I thought it was funny that Eddie thought this crew wouldn't give Vok a tech for the light shove.  such horseshit.

MDES was the team that started the wrestling matches in the 1H and we responded in the 2H and then MDES started bitching when we did.

the refs lost control in the 1H when they let MDES do whatever the fuck they wanted to down low.

Texas again in the second half realizes the benefits of getting the ball inside against a team you are more athletic and bigger than.

Texas wins 94-71.

Vok will definitely lead the team in free throws this season if he can stay out of foul trouble.

He needs to shoot a little better from the line.

He would also benefit by bulking up with a little more good weight and muscle with all the banging he takes and gives out.

We are going to lose so many games.

The bigger picture is that this is a wasted year.  There is no core of young talent that you can build on.  There are zero players getting minutes that look like they could start on a top 20 team.  The only two who might get minutes on a good team are Matas and Wilcher.  The guys redshirting must be total projects to not be able to crack this rotation.  So we are looking at a total redo in year 2.

This team can't shoot from outside or get to the rim. That narrows our options. 

So basically like almost every other Texas basketball team for 2 fucking decades now?

Yeah. I'm thinking we won't see very much improvement until we get a true PG. Wilcher actually does a decent job initiating the offense, but I fear that in SEC play all our guards are going to get pressured a good bit, and the lane will be clogged with more athletic big men than we've faced. But I'm far more hopeful than I was with RT or Shaka.

I've been curious how a top 50 prospect can't get run on this team, but whatever.  Vok is the best I've ever seen at getting his arm pulled by the opponent.  It's like an art.  There was a stretch in the second half where I think he got his arm pulled 5 times in 2 minutes.

We hit more free throws and this is a 30 point game.
