  1. I'm not trying to be a dick, but all of that is a much different argument than "If you go to Indiana you have to recruit nationally. If you come to Texas you can go get six guys from Dallas every year and win 25 games if you know what you're doing." All great programs recruit nationally. Texas and Indiana both have great state and regional recruiting bases. Either one, with a great coach, is a top-tier job and has the NIL support to justify it. I also agree that Texas has more collective high school talent than Indiana. That's certainly true.
  2. Yep. This is my exact concern about this team's upside. We'll see what happens
  3. Not a great start. SC looked like they had much more intensity those first two minutes.
  4. Yep. We know SC will go on a run and DS will make good adjustments. Need to match the intensity and keep up the confidence to counter the run.
  5. For real. Even with the little adjustment, Lee still got to the spot first.
  6. That was a fucking charge. WTF.
  7. Damn. Another post outruns the defense for an easy score.
  8. The only thing that worries me is the lack of consistent three-point shooting. That being said, if we play smothering defense like this, combined with a significant rebounding advantage (especially on the offensive boards), they for sure can win it all. I just don't feel like Texas matches up well with a team that can shoot the three well, like ND.
  9. Lee needs to look to shoot off those curl screens. She has had looks.
  10. 100%. They keep hitting shooters/posts on shots. Like it or not, they're fouls.
  11. Man, I wish Jones wasn't in her final year. She's really developed into a great player. She draws so many defensive fouls and creates foul trouble for opponents.
  12. Early Justice Carlton sighting. Separately from that, Texas needs to adjust to SC running the floor after defensive rebounds. Already cost us twice.
  13. That wasn't partially blocked?
  14. Oh, for sure. Painter, his staff, and program consistency certainly plays an outsized role in Purdue's success. However, much like any causal relationship/system, there tend to many variables of material influence. My original rebuttal only meant to challenge the incorrect notion that Indiana doesn’t serve as a sufficient college basketball recruiting base. That state churns out plenty of quality DI basketball players. In any event, a weaponized IU Basketball program can tap into that pool, as well as recruit nationally. If someone like Beard gets hired there, they’ll be very good very quickly.
  15. I just feel like you’ve been MIA (I recall you have been more active with basketball topics in years past too). But maybe it’s because we suck and/or I’m just going crazy Anyways, time for college baseball to start and for you and @Fletch to get back to business here!
  16. I think @immamac was going to post a link. Also. Where the fuck have you been?
  17. Ever heard of Purdue?… https://purduesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster Look at their roster composition and tell me how many games they’ve won on average over the past 10 seasons (and counting). Spoiler, what you just said about Dallas and winning 25 games per accordingly applies to Purdue with Indiana kids. Indiana produces plenty of DI talent.
  18. It certainly can be. UGA and OU (who Texas has already beaten) are winnable games at home. That leaves one more to get to seven. However, I really think this team needs 8, with one of those coming against Bama or Kentucky to really justify their hopes of being safely in.
  19. Very likely true. Texas doesn't have a good enough non-con résumé to finish 7-11 and make it safely.
  20. It certainly seems like it's less than 50/50 now. We're not beating the teams who are also on the bubble consistently enough to inspire confidence. If Texas makes it, it's most likely as a play-in participant. Texas will likely finish 7-11 in league play.
  21. Kind of like how we only made the second round with KD. However, that team would boat race this one.
  22. I guess it's possible, given the remaining schedule isn't a gauntlet, but this team looks done. SCar, Arkansas, UGA, and OU gets us to 8 wins, but they're not winning all 4. No chance we beat Bama, highly unlikely we win at MSU, doubtful we beat Kentucky even at home.
