  1. we struggle like crazy just to get a foul call. They get a foul call every trip.
  2. watch for a parade to the free throw line...don't stop driving guys.
  3. I'm still in awe of that jump Mitchell displayed both times...the block/foul and the rebound. We need him!
  4. since Miami started of 7-0, what is the score? This team!!!
  5. going up against 8 has to end at some point. I'm thinking now is a good time, at the under 12 timeout.
  6. It doesn't have to be exactly even. But with this high ability of players, in a close game, it should be very close to even, unless one team is playing a completely different game than the other. example I don't see one team shooting huge #of 3s vs the other team mostly driving the ball inside. I see both teams playing a similar style.
  7. I don't like to see 5 to 1. that tells me it needs to correct to closer to even, and it did. final numbers in first half 5 to 3. Ours was an extreme example the other day 8 minutes of 5 to 0 plus a couple of misses on possession.
  8. I guess I don't understand the ref situation. Creighton only has one foul called to 5 against SDSU. That is not evenly called, imo. ref just called traveling correctly though. For us, we are due for at least an evenly called game, and possibly a bias for us, because of the 8 minutes of total bias for Xavier the other day.
  9. For real, I did not notice zebras helping the team behind. Probably because the team that was behind was only behind by 7 at halftime, compared to our game when Xavier was behind by 17 at halftime. If you flipped the officiating bias and gave Gonzaga help during the 8 minutes after half like our game, Gonzaga may have been behind by maybe 7-9 points instead of being blown out. If our game was called evenly after halftime, we may have won by 25.
  10. ..so UConn has to cool down at some point, hopefully now. If they are as hot as they were tonight, we do not win, assuming we beat Miami tomorrow. I hope we win by about 5 points tomorrow and UConn is favored by a dozen or more points, and they go cold. They are going to hear from every fan how great they are for the next six days. They should be fat and happy by the time we get them.
  11. other than the unnecessary fourth on the Timme guy, I did not see any bias.
  12. We had a 17 point half time lead, and the 2nd half opened, with us playing against 8! 5 fouls called against us and 0 called against them. When the first foul was called against them with about 12 minutes left in the game, we had what a 19 point lead? Call it 17? The refs literally did all they could to help Xavier, and they still couldn't make any gains. My criteria remains intact. We still need fair officiating, and now I offer a qualifier. We need fair officiating throughout the game. Had there been fair officiating throughout the game, we would have been ahead by about 24-26 points at the 12 minute mark.
  13. I'm sure you guys have covered this already, but it just hit me that the only question remaining now is how many years on the contract, and what price? Maybe RT is so comfortable with this team that he honestly expects to be in the final four and he told CDC he would like to wait until the end? We win it all he gets what, an 8 year or 10 year deal? Is there such a thing? We get to final four and lose he gets a 6 year deal? We lose Sunday and it's a 5 year deal?
  14. .....any team in the history of Texas basketball? I'm an old, so I remember the 1977 team, and that team had an extreme amount of heart and chemistry because they didn't have very much talent. Went 26-5, and won the NIT when the NIT was something. From memory, Gary Goodner, Jim Krivacs, Ron Baxter, Tyrone Branyan, Johnny Moore. I think I just named the starters from that season, and only Ron and Johnny had potential NBA talent. Honestly, Ron was maybe on the bubble. But they worked so hard as a team, and that fabulous defense. That is the common thing from that team and this team, the great D. "Great defense never takes a day off" who said that? I think it is true. That team had something else this team has and that is the ability to play loose, all of the time. Btw, did we just win three games in three completely different ways? a. tonight, the Willis Reed gameplan b. whichever game it was, horrible 3s, but we needed the one we made. c. the great three point game. Where do we rate defensively among the elite 8? I would think 1 or 2, but don't have a clue. Finally, Fuck Jim Nantz. Once a Cougar, always a Cougar. Could not help himself...had to reference the 1991 Cotton Bowl loss to the U. It's still too soon. It will always be too soon. Glad the bum is leaving the building. Onto Sunday, and once again, the U has so many gameplans to look at they will not have a clue about which one to plan for. Hook 'em
  15. I like the three in a row, UConn, Gonzaga, Texas. I like the odds of one of those three winning.
  16. always liked Kevin Harlan...not sure why.
  17. so you have to still foul....22 seconds on the shot clock.
  18. okay, now just play straight up D and don't foul...what about 15 seconds on the shot clock?
  19. I mean, it worked, but I would have preferred just stopping them.
