This is the same damn team as the last 5 years. Just Jack up 3's at nauseum no matter what.

I think tonight shows Carr needs less time at the point. Too many possessions of no passes and forcing up bad shots.

Bishops paint game seems pretty weak

For one game at least, the team plays better when Cunningham is on the floor than they do when Carr is the primary ball handler.

Brock can, he's just saving it.

Got it. Was a little late getting the game on.

Marcus Carr in the doghouse?

Ramey and Carr are the same player. When they are on the court together our offense grinds to a halt because they are going to play hero ball. On a night where one of them is hot it works out, but most nights they are both pressing to much to prove they are THE guy and the end up taking bad, out of rhythm shots. For this offense to improve, Beard has to address this.

We have some good players, just doesn't really seem to translate into a good team. I feel like Ramey and Carr are constantly trying to prove that they are the teams big scorer, and the offense sufers because of it. The ball movement just isn't as good as it was early in the season.

I didn't say that they thought they were better than everyone else. I said they have it good which takes the edge away. The problem in the past has been with coached being able to motivate them past that. I also said we don't know yet if our 2 new coachs can accomplish this. Reading comprehension is key.

I hate to say it but I think what Troy Aikman said about the Cowboys is true about our major sports across the board. We recruit guys that come in, see all the amenities and think they have made it. They either lack the edge or lose it once they get here. You can see it in both Basketball and Football, where we don't really have any player lead teams, and no real accountability. It takes the right coach to come in and instill that culture and make sure that despite all the amenities, and quality of the college experience you get here, you still play with an edge. Shaka may not have been that coach, but when he recruits players that already have that chip on their shoulder then he can get the most out of them. Having to put that chip on their shoulder may not be his strength. Seems like with all the new coaching, we keep seeing the same results here, that culture is really the big problem. Maybe Beard and Sark are the guys that can instill that edge into guys that are living the good life on campus here, but one thing is for sure, until we find those coaches, we are doomed to swim around in mediocrity.

The refs even gifted us the possession where Allen was just walking around with the ball after getting a rebound and screaming his head off. The refs just watched it. It was so ridiculous they couldn't even call the travel. Lol

Tech lost a bunch of players after Beard left and yet they keep mowing down ranked teams. You sure their coach wasn't the real reason they made that Championship run? Gonna be fun to see how you feel when they come here and boat race their former coach in our home arena.

BTW Tech is kicking the shit out Iowa State right now too.

I'm not anywhere near calling him Shitty but seeing Tech beat Kansas and Baylor back to back, then seeing us can't help but wonder who was actually driving the bus in Lubbock

Show me. I still see a ton of hero ball and bad shots. You can say it but doesn't make it true. When we are moving the ball around and finding looks I agree. When one dude brings the ball up, dribbles around for 15 secs, never passes, and misses a bad shot. That is Shaka ball. We did that multiple possessions down the stretch

Offensively this is spot on. Early games we move the ball around and find good shots. Once we get to conference play it becomes Hero ball and terrible shots.

"They will be a factor in the Big 12 Race". Lolz

That's game.

Starting to think Carr transferred to get away from a bookie, but didn't get far enough away.

That bad foul by car actually saved us 3 points. lol

Maybe Beard can coach home games, and we can get an away game coach.

How does the road affect us so much. We are trash on the road.
