Texas vs Toads B12 Tournament Game Thread ESPN2 11:30am Thurs March 10th

[Firemans4Horn 18,049]

Man, those portal rankings last spring were a joke. 

[Skipper 6,135]

From inbounds play to allowing Carr of all people to take that shot to then not fouling.   Beard embarrassed himself the last 40 secs.  That's Shaka level shit.

Marcus Carr singlehandedly cost us this game. It's really that simple. Fucking embarassing performance. 

We might have been worse off to begin the year, but I really think we would be much better by now if he weren't on the team. His hogging the ball kills ball movement, makes the motion offense basically impossible to run and he generally just takes awful iso shots and turns the ball over a ton. His play completely impedes the team's offensive development.

Carr was 3-12 and he took the shot. 

 

Good god

[4th&Five 41,548]

40-20 in second half

[SL Xpress 7,513]

Chris Beard has won 1 conference tournament game in 5 seasons. Looks like it might be 1 in 6 seasons. Bad collapse in the first part of the 2nd half, no doubt about it. This last minute hasn't been something to cheer about, either. Maybe we can get a missed free throw and a 3.

[ztejas 43,428]

3/13 shooting 0 boards 2 assists 2 turnovers 4 fouls 

Why the fuck do we ride and die with this dude... he's done this shit all season.

On a positive note, we won this tournament last year and lost to ACU. So maybe we win the NCAA?

[David Dennison 18,856]

Maybe we should get transfers from winning teams.

[Rockethorn1978 6,077]

Well I guess let’s see why we brought beard in next week at the tourney. This loss was shakaesque.

[The Ace of Aces 5,183]

I quit watching at halftime. Wow. I was hoping Beard could get a NCAA win this year but it doesn't look great, choking to this team.

[MirrOlure 14,771]

Surely Carr’s sorry ass won’t be invited back for another year.

[Horn80 6,120]

Worst loss of season.

Meh. He’s our second best ball handler. Kinda have to live and die with it because there just isn’t any other options

Absolutely.  Dude is a black hole of suck.  

And I'll say it: Beard's refusal to bench Carr about a dozen games ago concerns me.

If we win two games in the tournament I will be extremely gruntled.

[Dr. Teeth 5,844]

Really weird TO. 

[4th&Five 41,548]

This team shouldn’t be a 5. 

[The Original Greaser Bob 2,833]

Yep yep yep.

[Js1 85,334]

Just done with the Marcus Carr thing.

Askew may not score but he’s not going to take 12 shots to figure that out.

Askew is an option.

because askew plays scared and Andrew Jones couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.

6 and have to be completely worried about 1st round exit if bad matchup with an opposing team with decent bigs or athletic PG.

I really don't get it.

[kingkoopa6 8,350]

poop

[chemHORN 1,239]

Maybe Carr isn't really this bad.  Maybe he just owes a lot of money to some bookies. 

[D3zii 3,678]

😂😂😂😂😂

So is Ramey.

Even we get 1 extra turnover on average, if it comes with 5 fewer bad shots, that's a win.

[kingkoopa6 8,350]

whens next game next thurs?

[Ghost of Stevie Ray 1,584]

Well thats just a damn embarrassment.  Should be ashamed.

This loss is part and parcel with Chris Beard's career. We didn't hire him because he does well in the conference tournament. 

[BigOrange1 6,437]

fucking pathetic.

On that we agree. He’s easily our best ball handler. I would love him to get more mins. 

[D3zii 3,678]

🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 boooooo 🍅🍅🍅🍅

[SarksJuggs 1,106]

Biggest issue with Carr is not only that he sucks, but he legit just jogs around. Looks like he’s in a gym shooting around by himself. Plays with no urgency.

Lulz. That was the play we drew up. Lazy in bounds, lazy up court dribble, pass into a double team, hoist a miracle 3.

[VinyVango 693]

Odd use of endgame timeouts by Beard

After 3 straight L's including this absolute shit show today I put them on the 7 line.

[LonghornSean 3,995]

Conference tourney is pretty worthless but this is definitely not a pleasant way to lose.

He may play scared but he probably finds someone to take the shot instead 

[Mo Horn 8,837]

Absolutely fucking pathetic. No other words for it. 

[kingkoopa6 8,350]

[David Dennison 18,856]

That is an embarrassing loss.

[Horn80 6,120]

Very disappointing loss.

Im putting all my Russian rubles on Texas to one and done, regardless of opponent. 

[InkaUtexas 25,937]

Shitty 24 hours for Texas sports. 

[Billy Pilgrim 1,963]

TCU was desperate. They wanted it more and made the hustle plays. Hopefully Texas plays more inspired in the ncaa tourney.
