  1. <aggy>Better than expected! Better than expected!</aggy>
  2. Any idea when we can expect him back. Feel like we’re really missing his leadership, defense, rebounding and no nonsense energy.
  3. Dammit. We should have won this game. So fucking dumb.
  4. I grilled some hamburgers tonight so at least I also had some home cooking.
  5. And the call on Mark while ball handler was pushing off the whole time. Alright I’m done.
  6. I mean the main difference is Ole Miss just started playing more physical (re: fouling) and the refs aren’t calling it. This one we’re going to have to earn.
  7. About as good of a half as we could ask for right now minus Kent coming in and fucking up repeatedly. We’re not even shooting as well as we’re capable of and Ole Miss’s best runs just do enough to keep the game close.
  8. If only Royal Ivey had some head coaching experience beyond a national team. Would seem like a pretty obvious fit that would get a lot of Texas alums who went to the NBA around the program.
  9. Thanks for learning me on the behind the scenes with Shaka. Makes total sense. At least we can say our basketball hire shortcomings are getting less bad with RT compared with Shaka *ducks*.
  10. Was personally painful for me as I had hosted some friends with my wife with dinner made and everything thinking we could have a fun time chatting and somewhat paying attention to a game in hand for the good guys and watching some of the others for upsets. Instead ended up being me in shock/not in a good mood to shoot the shit with people that couldn’t care less about the result of the Texas game. To this day I still don’t understand how Shaka failed here but was successful at VCU and now Marquette. It just doesn’t make me super confident that any new hire will really excel here. Beard looked like he was gonna be that guy, but then stranglegate occurred.
  11. It would seem with Ole Miss not being strong on the offensive glass bodes well for us.
  12. Completely agree with points 1 and 2, but your take is also seeding doesn’t matter until it does. So seeding matters, just not as much as how well your team is playing down the stretch. Our identity is a collection of scorers who don’t really play cohesively well and has started to play good d, but can’t rebound. Will be very interesting to see how we finish. As JS alluded to, down the stretch schedule is much easier than first 4 games in conference, but we need to beat Vandy or Miss St away and upset one of Bama or UK and win the games we’re supposed to win to gain momentum heading into the SEC tournament. 2 wins in the SEC tournament with a strong finish in conference should put us in that 5-7 range with some confidence of being a second weekend team. Will we be better with Chendall Weaver back on the floor? We need the rebounding help and he’s a beast on that front and our best defender, but whose minutes will he take? Kent’s? Larry has been looking good lately as a distributor and on ball defender. I don’t think we sacrifice Pope’s minutes much either with his scoring potential. Excited to see if RT can earn his money and get the most out of our iso ball team. Kaluma, Pope, Mark, and Johnson are as good of a set of scorers as we’ve had since our elite 8 underachieving run in RT’s roster inheriting year, and all are experienced, Johnson excepted.
