  1. man, there is zero post mortem on the close loss to shaggy pariah chris beard. that’s how little interest there is.
  2. i would pay an amount of money that my accountant calls “irresponsible” to see a 10 seed Texas beat a 2 seed marquette.
  3. i tend to think so. as always in CBB the pool of viable candidates for a job like this is generally very small. we’re not going to fire RT unless we know we will replace him with a barnes/beard level coach. if he keeps making the tourney and winning games, there’s really not a lot of pressure to fire him. almost none outside of this very forum lol. so yeah, he probably retains his job if we make the tourney, barring a terrible finish to both the regular and postseason.
  4. if RT made his players take good shots we’d be a markedly better team. our offensive possessions are maddening to watch, so often ending up with some sort of off-the-dribble, turn around, fade away jumper. not so much as a word to dissuade our guys from taking these shots, never mind actual accountability for playing smart basketball. i will always love and appreciate RT but this guy is screwing the pooch in a very major way that cannot be ignored or excused.
  5. if we had a coach who demanded high iq players + accountability we’d be a top 25 team with a final four ceiling. very frustrating to watch our most talented roster in years just play the most terrible, brain dead, pick-up-at-the-park style of offense. the defense is good but our rebounding deficiencies negate a lot of that. just very frustrating. not enraging, because it’s not at all unexpected. still, very frustrating.
  6. tre johnson should be running off the ball like aj abrams or steph curry as we try and get him a deluge of catch-and-shoot looks, all game every game.
  7. so, why did pryor not get *a lot* more run during pre conference?
  8. color commentator said it- bears clearly got his message through after that first TO. ole miss been keeping us way away from the basket since then.
  9. i’m the same, except that everything i say is extremely profound and well received and people love me for it.
  10. ZZ is the kind of college hoops star that has become more and more rare over the years. a star who will always be associated with the college game + only one school. easiest guy to root for in all of cbb for me.

  12. is that a challenge? you come for the king you best not miss.
  13. is a general thread here where mentally ill people talk about their shit? i found a bunch of threads with “mental health” in the title but no one dedicated thread.
  14. good question and good answer. the problem here is that most everyone who meets CDC’s usual criteria is either totally ungettable or will simply use the Texas (and UNC?) job openings to get themselves a nice raise at their current job. good coaches move around more in other sports than they do in cbb. your really good, Texas-level hires find the right job and then stay there for a decade or two (or three). god damn it chris beard. you really did fuck us. CDC is probably going to have to go for someone less proven than he wants if he can’t get Lloyd.
  15. i got myself so riled up by the end of this post that my final paragraph is unintelligible, lmao. i’m out here like NEVER FORGET. NEVER FORGET!!! woo sah derka; woo sah.
  16. and yet colt was the best player on the team both years. and i said as much upthread. quinn and colt both had two years with outstanding supporting casts. quinn was carried by his, while colt led his. again, never mind the fact that colt was saddled with mack and GD. the gulf between colt and quinn is massive. and i know that hyperbole is my thing, but i was serious earlier: you put 08 and 09 Colt on 23 and 24 Texas and we do not lose a game. i frankly don’t think it’s even close. we lost five fairly close games with QE taking the snaps. you give this defense a break with colt’s ability to drive the ball and score TDs, you give Sark the ability to open up playbook with a super accurate and mobile QB? ssshhheeeiiitttt. there’s not a team we played these last two years who could have kept up with us.
  17. god it would be so funny watching shaka try his early morning motivational text messages and incessant use of empty maxims and platitudes with a bunch of millionaire grown men who don’t respect him at all. i don’t think shaka would be having very many better tomorrows in the nba.
  18. i was rooting for him to have a good day today but he squandered multiple opportunities to create/score goals. he just looks like a shell of his former self.
  19. we would have killed running havoc in dhaka’s first year after cam ridley broke his foot. back court: •isaiah taylor- lighting fast PG who scored, distributed, shot a ton of FTs, and was just a dog •demarcus holland- 1st team all big xii defender, team captain, all effort, high iq player, coming off a season where he shot .464 from deep on 1.6 attempts •Javan Felix- senior with a ton of starts, solid role player with a knack for hitting big shots •Eric Davis Jr- big XII all freshman team •Kerwin Roach- crazy athlete born to play havoc, big xii all freshman team •Tevin Mack- long, rangey player who’s better in transition than the half court front court: •Connor Lammert- stretch 4 who could rebound shoot, smart, high effort player •Prince Ibeh- Big XII DPOY, legit guarded all five positions at various times, unreal rim runner and defender •Jordan Barnett- shaka never used him but he absolutely could have should we have deployed havoc. you add kendal yancy and shaq claire to this mix and that’s a 10-deep rotation that can throw a ton of bodies at you, coming in high energy wave after high energy wave, pressing in all different manners, and trying to get out in transition. now to be fair, we did just fine without switching to havoc after big cam’s injury, but i have always felt strongly that we would have been hell on wheels for opposing teams had we gone to what shaka knows best.
