up 2-0 early.

[Horn80 6123]

Shakablah!

[Kevin O’Shea 279]

Shooting poor 3’s. Could have lived without this for another month. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

already want to shoot myself from hearing Lowell Galindo day, "DYJ! Do your job!"

[kingkoopa6 8351]

#30 our token white sharp shooter?

On the bright side, the offense seems to already be in mid-season form.

[Goo Punch 4275]

nice block by Hamm.

Yes it’s incoherent 

[Kevin O’Shea 279]

I hope we are resting our best guys on the bench

Define sharp shooter.

[HtownHorn 14685]

Still can't get defensive rebounds.

He looks perkier than Sims (very) early

[OU Sucks 8823]

This season will be fine.

[Goo Punch 4275]

3-11 from the field, 0-6 from 3P. where have I seen this before?

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Are we running the "shoot and holler, shit!" offense again this year?

0-5 from downtown so no? Shaka can’t even recruit one kid that can shoot lights out. 

[irishtexan 11519]

Over/under on actual attendance? From what I can see, I’d put it at 86

[perfectchaos007 6643]

I just want to be the first to say Brick Cunningham

to perfection.

[Mo Horn 8848]

So, new year, same ol inept offense with no gameplan other than stand around and throw up threes. Usually that doesn't happen until the 2nd or 3rd game. 

[Revolution512 1487]

Somebody convince me Cunningham deserved a scholarship. How in the fuck does he start at Texas?

[Goo Punch 4275]

AJ1! Let's go!!

This is the response to a freshman's rough first five minutes in any sport that really defines Texas fandom.

[Rockethorn1978 6079]

Shaka seriously has to be the worse offensive head coach in the country. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

There's a 0% chance we would be this bad if we had fired Shaka the day that Wulaw started that thread. 

[EuroHorn 3265]

when does basketball season start for the Horns?

[Nueces River Rat 5539]

Have we fired Shaka yet?

we should do it at the U12 TO.

Nah, I actually follow recruiting and high school sports

Only reason I’m watching. 

[Kevin O’Shea 279]

Not sure if it’s a good thing that Donovan Williams (who’s never played) and Andrew Jones (who hasn’t played in years) might be our best players tonight. 

[Braff Zacklin 13580]

Totally forgot there'd be a game thread. Guess even fans need time to get into mid-season form.

yeah i honestly never thought he deserved a scholarship to Texas, so to see him starting as a freshman was less than ideal.

FIFY - not soon enough.

[Mo Horn 8848]

I know nothing about Northern Colorado, so I don't know how to really assess, but the defense does look improved. 

[Rockethorn1978 6079]

Where is wulaw?

[Horn80 6123]

This team will have zero chance of having good season.  

[Revolution512 1487]

Febres reminds me of Nuke Laloosh

We're on pace to be up 10 - 36 at the half

[Lerka Lerka 1087]

Damn.  Some sandy vaginas in here 10 minutes into the season. Be happy there's hoops on. Jeez.

we still look terrible on offense, and not just terrible, but that Shaka-specific brand of terrible. we've all seen this for too long not to recognize it. 

[BigOrange1 6441]

i realize it's game 1 and rotations aren't all that meaningful right now, but i really thought will baker would play a lot sooner than he did.

One of their players missed a wide open layup.. nothing will be learned tonight.

 

They also won their post season tournament last year.  
 

nm. It was the year before.

watched him play once in HS and both my dad and I came away pretty just going, "umm...ok? this guy is going to Texas?" KJ Adams was so much better/more impactful than Baker, as were a couple other of his Westlake teammates. I've also heard that he had questionable work ethic heading into UT, so take that fwiw.

Talent level is lowest in decades.

Eh, they're worse than last year - by far their best player is gone. I'll certainly give the naysayers that.

[Get ln My Van 927]

This has been the least excited I’ve ever been about a basketball opener

[Rockethorn1978 6079]

Zzzz I’m dozing.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Sims still has no basketball skill, just a huge, athletic body. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

Ramey looking very assertive.
