    A Texas-Marquette game would be 55-50 with both teams refusing to rebound and turning the ball over 20 times.

    I caught the cancer

    Sal replied to Burt's topic in Daily Texan

    The pre-scan anxiety is real. My scans are on Tuesday, and warn people in advance that I’ll get more anxious as we get closer but will be fine. I’m now about eight months into remission. Just one more good set of scans should get more through graduation of business school, then I can come back to Texas.

    I can't stand UConn or Hurley but hate Shaka even more. glad he's getting folded like a cheap lawn chair.

    Bad coaches are overconfident in their abilities to fix bad players and form rosters around them. Terry came in here thinking he could win with a horrible backcourt, no rebounding, and no defense. He thought he could just add scrubs like Onyema, Shedrick, and Horton to replace our two blue chips, Holland and Johnson. Sure, it could just be the result of transition and a lack of foresight for one year. But there's no culture or identity with this team, and I can't say anyone has really improved other than Weaver and maybe Disu coming back from injury. There's no indication that Terry will ever be much better than he was at previous stops, and his track record isn't good. We care too much about optics, but if a good coach like Lloyd was available, I wouldn't hesitate to move on from Terry.

    SEC Catch-all Thread

    Sal replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football

    SEC fans are creating this narrative that we are some sort of precious snowflakes who have never been to an away game before. Those of us who went to Tuscaloosa last year were dishing it back in the Bama fans' faces before the game because we're used to it, and I think it caught a lot of them off guard. Since most SEC teams don't have a lot of history with us, they really don't have a lot of ammunition to use and will come at us with their lame horns down comments. There's nothing scary about it, and none of us - from the players to the fans - will have any issue with it.

    I say we go full Mike D’Antoni and play six guys the whole game. Screw Horton and Brock

    2008 with Augustin leading us

    That’s said about them every year, and yet they’re consistently making the second weekend and putting themselves in position to contend for the title. I would take that in a heartbeat

    He should transfer to a program that has an actual plan for him. Sampson at least would make him a pick-and-pop shooter and an amazing defender. Same for Scott Drew. It's reminiscent of how Shaka wasted so much talent and developed no one.

    Get ready for the beatdown on Monday at home from UH, a team that is actually well coached and plays defense

    Ithiel Horton Hears a Who!

    Do we have any idea yet whether Michigan will be able to retain its players, or is it going to be open season? Apologies if this was already answered

    The Texans’ needs seem to be interior offensive line, interior defensive line, wide receiver, and coverage safety. Some of those could be addressed when guys like Tank Dell return from injury. The temptation will be to focus on wide receiver in free agency, but getting a really good lineman like Chris Jones or DJ Reader should be the priority.

    The only good thing I can say is that at least this is the last year of Lowell Galindo and Longhorn Network. I slogged through seven years of that with Shaka and would rather be sent to the gulag than do that again.

    Being so bad at the Four Factors reminds me of a certain former coach at Marquette who was notorious for similar stat lines while here.
  16. Sal
    That drive was as bad as the 2022 Texans. Show some pride in something. I am embarrassed to watch this even as a Texans fan.

    DeMeco Ryans has as many playoff wins in one season with the Texans as Mike McCarthy has in four seasons with the Cowboys. And DeMeco inherited a team that went 3-13-1 last year.

    And that absolutely should not be how we operate a basketball program at this university. Sunk cost -> move on. We can have actual standards with this program. This isn't a criticism of you but the administration if they're going to treat basketball differently.

    That's right. Htine till we die

    We have one great year last year because of Beard after 10 years in the wilderness. Now we’re in year 1 of the new wilderness under Fraudney Terry. When will the pain end
  21. Sal
    We absolutely were in the top 10 in defense before Beard left. When Terry took over, we fell to around 100. We also aren’t scoring in the 80s on offense when our guards are Abmas, Hunter, Horton, and Weaver.
  22. Sal
    People keep talking about missing two big men. College basketball is guard dependent, and we don't have good guards or good depth. I don't see how Disu or Shedrick overcome those problems unless we get multiple guards to make shots consistently.
  23. Sal
    I’ll agree to disagree. We don’t look good and have no identity. That’s the case so far even if we’re looking ahead.
  24. Sal
    Say what you want about their 3 point shooting, but from my vantage point in the Garden, we really aren’t outplaying them so far. Terry is taking no time to turn us into a bunch of bums again

    I hate Sarkisian. What an absolute moron.
