#11 Texas vs #2 Gonzaga - 8:30pm on ESPN2: it's game day, assholes!

[KingBobo81 535]

My first starting of a game thread - I'll be at the game so won't be posting, but I'm here first, damnit!

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

Will you just order a large, Farva?

[shadow_operative 15932]

i don't want a large farva.

[shadow_operative 15932]

i want a goddamn liter of ass whooping!

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Huge showcase tonight for the program. Can't wait to see how the crowd is. 

Wish it was being televised on the mother ship but NBA doubleheader there. Flemming and Fraschilla working the game for ESPN 2.

[maninblack 7974]

I was surprised to see we were favored 

[shadow_operative 15932]

it's going to be very very loud in there. i just hope that they noise conveys on TV. the place is incredibly cozy, and based on my experience attending big games at the FEC, the amount of noise in Moody should be insane. it got up to 122 decibels at The Phog when i was there in March, and i wouldn't be surprised to see that happen tonight at Moody. 

[danhorn111 55]

Let's goooooooooooooo!!!  Could be a statement game and tone-setter for the "Mood"  But, yes, weird that we are favored.  We've had a long line of these early season big matchups that have not gone so well.

[jeevsie 3733]

Just as long as we're not wearing black unis.

[KingBobo81 535]

I'm gonna order a litre o' cola right meow to get ready for this - I'm pumped!

I don't know anything about UT but if you have size and 10-15 fouls to go with that size you should beat them.

We're about an inch shorter at the starting positions.  Last year Drew Timme absolutely went off on us (37/7/3).

Got it. Yeah I mean specifically at the 4/5. If you don't have that it's probably gonna be a long night. 

[UTEE97 3513]

We are undefeated at the Moody Center .... just saying.

We are definitely more athletic this year, and it's a home game as opposed to being on their court, so last year's 12-point loss should be reasonably close, and could go our way.  True frosh Dillon Mitchell (6' 8") has lived up to the 5-star hype so far.  I don't know if he'll make a difference against Timme, but he is insanely explosive and will hopefully create a few more problems in the paint on defense.

[CurlyDumps 4468]

Crystal out amongst the people.

Lock down Timme and this a dub 

 

LETS GOOOOOOO

Tre Mitchell and Bishop got seriously abused in the paint by timme last year in Spokane … maybe a healthier Disu has a better go at it this year with help from Dillon Mitchell. Hopefully we don’t get into foul trouble and have to put Allen and Cunningham on timme

Home court, more athleticism, and a year under beard should help.

It was a PK this morning but now it's up to 3. 

[MuellerHorn 4228]

Alright, alright, alright...

So in the spirit of every Texas Basketball thread ever, who is the more disappointing and underachieving tournament coach?

Mark Few, or Rick Barnes?

[jeevsie 3733]

Confirmed - son will be there.

"We"???

How does a kicker for WVU and the Colts get to identify with Texas?

[kingkoopa6 8347]

[ztejas 43411]

We have the greatest kicker in NFL history who's certifiably a cold-blooded, unapologetic fuckin gangsta. We don't need this fucking douche-clown talking head wearing sleeveless t-shirts and ruining pairs of KDs at our practices. Go hang out in some shithole like Knoxville and annoy their fanbase.

[shadow_operative 15932]

i like him. and he keeps on saying that we're going to win it all this year, which i also like. could be worse. could be toby keith. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don't mind him advocating for the 'horns, but "we" is the wrong fucking pronoun.

[CheesePie 238]

Spent waaaaay too much money on tickets. First time in the new Moody. Excited to see how we match up against a high caliber team. Hook em!

[huge 3793]

All press is good press?

Whatever.  Let D it up early and get out to a lead and then put our foot on their throat and keep it there.

No, it's ESPN2.  Whatshisface and Fran.

You know why, and it is a good reason. National television. If it was on LHN they could have tipped at 530 for your viewing pleasure, but only like 200 people would see it.

National primetime is not 9:30 eastern. Regardless of where one team's fanbase is. (77% of the country lives within central and east)

I guess it's because ESPN2 wants to have 2 games air so they put one at 6 and one at 8:30. But the one at 6 is Kent State eastern Michigan or some shit. Gonzaga/Texas should be at 7 or 7:30 when it's the only marquee game of the night.

TELEVISION: The game will be televised nationally by ESPN2. Dave Flemming (pxp) and Fran Fraschilla (analyst) will call the action.

I stand corrected. Didn’t know who was on before. I just have this game recording.
