hard to believe Askew was at Kentucky.

He's a puzzle for sure.   What exactly put him in that class of player?

He must've gotten an extra star for having basketball hair or something.

Iowa State is on pace to score about 85.   That isn’t going to work for the Chris Beard blueprint.  As much as we bitch about the offense, turnovers and defense are the problems in this game. 

Yeah, but turnovers are a part of offense...

LICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jimmyjazz 45990]

As much as I don't want ManBun on the floor, he actually moved the ball around.

[TexArcher 37987]

There we go!  5 quick points from Carr with a takeaway in between.

Let's fucking go!

[jimmyjazz 45990]

Carr is heating up.

[kingkoopa6 8372]

C3RR!

[dcar00 14306]

Aterrio Morris better be pretty damn good from the jump.  Its hard to believe Texas can't get a fucking point guard.

AJ is the only thing that kept this from being a 25 point loss.

 

[Tex-19 2872]

Beard needs to let Carr loose more often. This one on one scoring is what he's good at.

Also wtf are Licon and Benson doing in the game

[jimmyjazz 45990]

Defense is picking up

[kingkoopa6 8372]

WAY TO HUSTLE LICON!

[kingkoopa6 8372]

LICON! ALMOST WITH A SICK PUT BACK!

[LTtxfan 49291]

Win or lose -- If Texas keeps finding more offense in this 2nd half, it could go a long way for this team improving the rest of season.

I like the faster pace on offense in this 2nd half...

They play D.  

[TexArcher 37987]

Avery Benson looks like a very tall philosophy major.

They move the ball quickly and decisively without turning it over. Our offensive problems are pretty simple

He's the Dude crossed with Willem Dafoe.

Longer possessions on offense offer more opportunities to lose the ball on a turnover.  I like watching the Horns playing faster and more aggressively on offense in this 2nd half today...  

[kingkoopa6 8372]

DAMN!  i wanted that for LICON!

[jimmyjazz 45990]

Really smart shot by Ramey

[Mo Horn 8852]

Getting open shots, but can't hit em

[kingkoopa6 8372]

aw man.. licon dont need no rest... 

 

LET EM PLAY!

[TexArcher 37987]

Carr is just not a very good shooter, but he offsets that with terrible shot selection.

[dcar00 14306]

the stopped the bleeding from the first 5 min but not gonna matter.

[kingkoopa6 8372]

and 1!

And questionable defense.

He shot 38% FG last year 32% from 3, so yeah he was always more of a chucker. He's got some crafty one on one moves though

Now we learn about heart. Hopefully these players don’t have the “ballgame” mentality of greenspoint.

I agree with you and I don’t like the slow pace offenses in general but I don’t know that we have the shooters or ball handlers to try to play up tempo regularly.

Also the number of step in/under charges/blocks that ISU tries is ridiculous and exactly why that rule needs to change. Buncha guys not even trying to defend and endangering players

[hobbes2702 13049]

Can’t even get the conference standings right. Jesus 

[LTtxfan 49291]

Learning to play more under control but faster could really improve this Texas offense...

 

Wooden:  "Be quick but don't hurry"

[kingkoopa6 8372]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[kingkoopa6 8372]

season high!!! we breakin records baby!

[kingkoopa6 8372]

D FENCE!

[kingkoopa6 8372]

bruh.. that ref wack.. 

[Mo Horn 8852]

That was not a foul

[TexArcher 37987]

Carr was having a pretty good game at 4 of 7 from the floor, so he missed 4 more in a row to prove the success was just small sample size.

Edit: 5 in a row

LICONS BACK BABY!

[Pam Cummings 9646]

These refs are a joke for that

I don't ever expect them to stop playing hard.  sometimes you make a few too many mistakes.

[jimmyjazz 45990]

Opportunity here.

Not saying up tempo, just get into their offense more quickly each possession -- too many late shots as the shot clock running down... 

[SL Xpress 7516]

Reading this thread, it's obvious Texas is getting completely blown out of this game. Anyone happen to actually check the score?

[perfectchaos007 6677]

If nothing else, I appreciate the message Beard is giving the team today

[Mo Horn 8852]

Of fucking course

[TexArcher 37987]

You've gotta be god damned fucking kidding me with that bullshit ass lottery ticket bank shot...

[jimmyjazz 45990]

Fuck.  Me.  Running.

[kingkoopa6 8372]

licon with lock down D!

 

damn.... banked that on licon.. but damn he was hustling!

[kingkoopa6 8372]

AND 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
