Since this year isn't about shuttling any golden boys to the NBA, maybe we just play zone the whole time? It isn't against the rules ya know.

Alright we got a small lead on the mighty Warhawks of Monroe. Now milk the clock and pray!

If it's any concession Vermont is up on Kansas right now.

Nah man, quitting food makes you crabby as hell

Someone put a body on Travis Munnings

If you want to make this a pissing contest about basketball knowledge it's pretty unlikely that you know more than me about the college game since it's been my #1 followed sport for a number of decades now. Even if that wasn't true, your assertion that I know "nothing" is obviously false and a hyperbole so laughably extreme that it damages the credibility of the opinions you espouse on here.. I wouldn't take your cues from bitterwhiteguy. While I haven't seen much of his writing, what I have seen has been pretty hit or miss. Writing a lot about something, and even having others read what you write, doesn't necessarily mean your opinions on the matter are always correct. Around here in Austin, unfortunately, you get a lot of sports people who have really smart opinions about football and really know their stuff when it comes to college pigskin. But it is rare you run into someone with that level of understanding about the hardwood. I really have no idea what bitterwhiteguy's level of understanding is, but if you or him are trying to make a point that Hayes and Sims can't be played at the same time it's silliness because together they comprise at least half of our playable frontcourt roster. If Dylan O or Kemaka Hepa are having a bad game, or injured, or disposed in any other way, Coach Smart will have no problem playing Sims and Hayes at the same time and both players should have no problem complimenting each other's roles on the court. I'm sorry if you don't understand that, but you need to give up your idea that they can't play together because it's dumb. And as far as crashing the boards "not being offense" you're even more uninformed if you don't understand how paramount offensive rebounding is in the game of college basketball.

Miss shots and let them crash the boards.

If I have a 6'11" guy (Hayes) and a 6'9" guy with hops (Sims) and they are both coordinated young men who can play defense, dunk, and handle a basketball in general, I am sure as shit going to play them in a college basketball game together, or a la carte, whenever I please. Having twin towers is just almost never a bad thing. Sure, they need to improve their range on offense or whatever, but this point you're trying to get at that they can't play the floor at the same time is pretty worthless.

Having "similar skillsets" doesn't really preclude putting players out on the floor together. If it turns out both Sims and Hayes are in our top 5 best players then they absolutely should be on the floor together at times. Ditto if we are facing a team with a lot of height who is pounding it inside on us.

That "U-S-A" kid was unstoppable.

Sounds like you heard a load of bullshit, my man.

I'm not buying this Texas by 6.5 line. We love to make it to close.

Current Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson IS a strollin Nolan disciple i believe.

Arkie - Texas starts in an hour!

Tons of people had negative responses when I talked up how good this class would be in May. It seems like you yourself were probably one of them but I don't feel like wading through your litany of gibberish backposts right now. Basically the argument was "there's no 5-stars, Hayes is too raw, won't be enough to make up for the loss of Bamba, blah blah blah."

I don't wanna say "I told ya so" about this recruiting class, but, I told ya so.

The beauty of this year's team is Dylan can be on a short leash. If he can't hit shots, he can be benched for a pretty wide range of possibilities. Long if we need shooting. Hepa or Hayes if we need inside defensive presence.

It shows he's shooting without hesitation. Connecting on the shots will come, hopefully.

I love how you keep trying to use the excellent recruiting he's done here against him. Don't you realize that's a major positive?

Kenpom is a believer. #16 in the country! Bring on Eastern Illinois!

A 3 guard lineup of Coleman, Roach, and AJ would be ridiculous this year. Fuck cancer. And don't push yourself too hard, AJ.

I thought Cunningham was a redshirt this year?

Ok fine. I guess evolution can be defined as any change. I hope Texas Basketball does some evolution this year.

If your stats about that are real, ie a 3 inch taller on average height of every American from 1895 to 1995 then that must be attributed to better health and fewer childhood sicknesses, which makes some sense. It isn't really correct to call it evolution though since evolution as it relates to species is typically defined to be a genetic change occurring over millions of years.
