  1. first, averaging 9.6 and 7.5 is not β€œnearly averaging a double double”. mitchell did record eight double doubles last season which is nothing to sneeze at, but let’s not act like he was 2010 damion james. looking at his game logs for texas and his β€œbest” double double saw him get 14 and 11 from the SF/PF spot. his three best games (all double doubles) were against delaware state, a&m cc, and houston christian. he recorded three double doubles in 18 games during conference play. you can try and rewrite who dillon mitchell was and act like he was some double double machine, but in reality he was a less athletic kai jones with none of the offensive acumen, less of a motor, and the jump shot of doj balbay. and if we keep him that means we don’t get kaluma, our best overall player. so, i’m gonna say no thanks to keeping mitchell over kaluma, as well as rewriting her history of who he was/is as a player.
  2. everyone here has a problem watching the men’s team.
  3. 1)the sport actually isn’t skyrocketing in popularity 2)the game(s) weren’t on abc because of demand, it’s there because espn/abc broadcasts the sport and has been pushing it very very hard for more than a decade now. also, i watched the 1Q of that lsu/texas game and the quality of play was just unwatchable. i’ve worked middle school parochial girls basketball tournaments for 25 years and that’s basically what i saw yesterday- countless missed bunnies, girls dribbling the ball off their feet, just general mayhem in the paint, the entire game being played below the rim, every rebound being grabbed 3 feet below the basket, and just honestly a jarring lack of skill and athleticism. 4/5 players were just impossibly slow, unathletic, and unskilled. the product on the court was so, so bad. hard to believe these were two top five teams with a combined record of 50-3.
  4. imagine how confused you would be if you saw this a few months ago lol.
  5. i did (well, started) one of espn’s mock drafts on the app, and randomly decided to give myself the 7th pick. it gets to my pick, and shohei ontani (average selection of 1.6) is not only sitting there, but he’s not even my auto pick if i time out. i closed to stupid app and will not be trying another mock on espn.
  6. give me at least six of: kai jones shaedon sharpe jericho sims amen thompson ausar thompson derrick jones jr ant ja castle jalen green jalen johnson no more matas buzelis and joe bench warmer in the contest.
  7. which is odd because Flau'jae Johnson was questionable this morning but is in the starting lineup after all.
  8. our women’s team is 9.5 point favorites today against no.5, 25-1 LSU.
  9. how many we got committed so far?
  10. yeah, this roster was definitely assembled with offense in mind, and the hiring of frank haith would seem to support the idea that the identity of this team is supposed to lie on the offensive side of the ball. but as either ravich or dykes pointed out last night, Texas is 13th nationally in iso possessions in offense. we don’t run a ton of set plays, we just employ concepts and trust our players to do their thing and make it happen. it’s not actually a terrible MO on its face, but where it becomes a problem is when there’s no accountability for low iq play and bad shots, especially when these things are happening repeatedly. we could basically run the same offense we’ve been running all year, and if our HC was even 20% more demanding that we look for and take good shots then i’d imagine we’d be at 6 or 7 conference wins right now not on the bubble.
  11. this is the game. as far as i can tell this is a de facto play-in game. if we win this next game then we should get to 7, possibly 8 league wins plus a chance to win another in the league tourney. if we lose this game to an 0-11 south carolina and go to 16-11 (5-9), followed by a road game in fayatteville (likely ending with us 16-12 (5-10)), then we are trending downward in a way that will be incredibly tough to recover from. 2-3 league tourney wins minimum needed at that point.
  12. oh most definitely. terrible shot selection is a hallmark of this team. i just felt that pope’s was especially abysmal last night. it’s a must-win home game, he’s been invisible for the first 2/3 of the game, and now he’s just going to start jacking terrible, off the dribble, pull up, and/or fade away threes with 23 seconds left on the shot clock. that’s the kind of shit that gets you benched when your HC actually holds his shooters accountable.
  13. i still cannot wrap my head around how a team in this conference, with an offense this bad, can be 20-5.
  14. as i posted in another thread, we have tre young and we shoot 80% from the line- we can make the S16. i certainly wouldn’t predict that to happen, but one hot shooting day and this team can upset somebody on a saturday or sunday.

    Tre Johnson

    tre reminds me some of brandon jennings. just very smooth, able to hit really rough jumpers, and can score from all three levels.
  17. posting on this forum so more people can see. 🀘🏼🀘🏼🀘🏼
  18. yeah mcclung was badass, but the nba is tripping throwing three other sinking jags out there to face him.

    Tre Johnson

    walter clayton, zakai zeigler, wade taylor, tre johnson, mark sears, and jason edwards all fighting for two spots on the all-sec first team. gonna be tough for tre to crack that. he’s probably got freshman of the year locked up however, and there’s some pretty damn good freshmen in this league.

    Tre Johnson

    if broome hadn’t missed time he’d be dead even (or possibly ahead of) cooper flagg.
