  2. we’re 7-7 from deep in the 2h.
  3. these guys from chaminade aren’t bad offensively, they just offer zero resistance whatsoever on the other end.
  4. chaminade splashes the half court shot to end the half. 52-36 at the half.
  5. 10 turnovers. this might be an episode of impractical jokers. im trying to spot the ear pieces on every single player on our team.
  6. pope really looks to get his own shot, which is good, because he’s a terrible shooter.
  7. through 10:30 we have 9 to’s.
  8. 66% of chaminade’s points are off of turnovers. we turned it over as i typed that and chaminade immediately hit a three.
  9. heide with the sick block.
  10. chaminade ahead 9-8 at the first media timeout.
  11. tennessee hits every single ft they take down the stretch and holds off houston. really good game with some exciting individual performances as well. definitely looked like they were back in the e8.
  12. it’s a barrage by both teams late. i’m guessing there’s a bunch of angry bettors out there who took the under.
  13. great game. two heavyweights going at it, blow for blow.
  14. tennessee takes their first lead since 15-13.
  15. i know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but i love watching barnes vs sampson.
  16. houston up on tennessee 42-39 in the 2h.
  17. shaka gave six of his players “awards” for their play against central michigan. 😂😂😂
  18. john bianco is one of the great SID’s of this century and a Longhorn Legend.
  19. we cannot shoot. national ranks: eFG%- 53% (123rd) 3p%- 30.6% (255th) ft%- 66.9 (282nd) we’ve got no pg, no shooters, and no honorable mention all conference caliber big men. we’ve got swain and a bunch of disjointed “meh”. we turn the ball over too easily (we rank 299th in non-stl TO%). we also don’t force TO’s (286th defensively in non-stl TO%, 280th in stl%). make no mistake about it: this is either a middling team (NIT bound) that’s off to a bad start, or a bad team that’s off to a bad start. this has not been an encouraging first six games. it’s going to be a long season.
  20. miller was probably the best we could get, but that doesn’t make him an exciting hire. he would have been an exciting hire 10 years ago, back when he looked like one of the best coaches in america, but ever since he got busted cheating and the playing field was leveled re: paying players he’s been good-not-great. pretty much all of his success came 10+ years ago when he was cheating, and he’s made it out of the first round once since 2017. his last six teams at arizona finished ranked 19, 18, 28, 94, 19, and 29 in kenpom. his xavier teams finished ranked 15, 56, and 43. that’s one top 15 finish in almost a decade. he’s beaten his preseason kenpom rating 3 times in 9 tries since 2015. yeah, when you use his entire career resume to paint a picture of who he is he looks pretty good. but if you focus on the last decade then there’s really nothing there that says that we should expect him to equal or surpass the levels of barnes and beard at Texas. i’ve always felt that he’s going to be better than shaka and RT, but that he’ll ultimately disappointingly short of reaching any new heights, or even matching old ones.
