It’s called “brand enhancement”! Something unique/special to Texas and Texas alone! No other athletic program conjures up the type of emotions/energy of other fanbases across their entire sports platform like we do! They do it cause they think its a “cool” thing to get shown doing…And the media knows it as well, so they show/encourage it every chance they get to stir things up even more! So F’em, I can’t wait to see a couple more fanbases take their turns doing it in OMAHA as well! [emoji1612] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dont get me wrong, I’ll take him getting into early foul trouble. But i have confidence in our perimeter defenders. They’ve shown to be able to control to some degree good perimeter players (i.e. Agbaji, etc). I just feel its more important for our offensive success to get those bigs (Edey/Williams) into some foul trouble as well. Saw someone post that they dont play heavy minutes to begin with, but even less mins would be even more ideal imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I couldnt agree more on the issues we have dealing with teams that are strong/athletic/productive on the interior. We have difficulties guarding and keeping them off the glass, especially late in games closing out good defensive possessions with rebs. Bryson Williams & Timme smoked us offensively and Thamba & Co. worked us on the backboard. I dont think there’s much we can do scheme-wise honestly, just have to hope we get a draw where we can avoid that for a couple rounds. My biggest concern is also maybe one of our biggest strengths, which is weird. But we play grind it out tough games. Unless its just a bad match-up i dont see anyone blowing us out, but even when we’re “on” our style of play tends to keep most teams in games as well. And to me thats concerning come March. Its called Madness for a reason and the longer a team stays in a game the more chances there are for them to create some magic and steal one to send ya home!!! But thats just kinda who we are right?

Really starting to look like a team that has what it takes to win tough tourney games. If they can keep themselves in games (which their defense tends to do), they seem to have what it takes to grind out close W’s…sans that KSt game Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Eh, i mean technically its a loss to a projected tourney team on the road in conference. If they truly were the top #3 seed, i cant see this moving them all the way off the 3 seed line. But what do i know? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah they didnt seem to have anyone they trusted (or any player who wanted) to take the ball and get a shot when SMU turned up their pressure the last part of the game. Serms like their offense has to really be executing well for them to get shots within it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
