Easier to do when you have a legit 2 deep of athletes.

I know next to nothing about Gonzaga or any of their players other than Timme but we sure seem a lot deeper than them.

It happened against Purdue as well. He's a below the basket player that pairs that with an inconsistent shot. He will have some big games, but he went from our #1 option last year to 5th or 6th this year.

Gonzaga run might happen here - need the defense to turn the screws to keep the lead comfortable.

Our starting 5 is deeper than theirs, if you get my drift.  They are nowhere near the #2 team in the country.

[ztejas 43,475]

Why is every Gonzaga player of the same lightskin complexion? 

[RockyMountainHighHorn 890]

Please let’s finish this out. This would be a huge win! Stay up 15+ with 5 to go.

[LTtxfan 49,247]

Finally a foul call on damn Zags...

8min left

78-62  Horns lead

---------------------------------------------

Step up our defensive effort next 4min game within the game Horns.  Don't help Zags get to foul line so easily.

LET'S FUCKIN' GO !!! 🤘

Texas 18

Gonzaga 8

Or maybe that’s what happens when, you know, one team is aggressive on defense and forcing the action and the other is allowing their opponent to shoot 53% from the field

Shaq does not discriminate when it comes to endorsements. I can respect that.

Disu with the Olajuwon low post action.

Bonus plus ESPN.  These guys working the ribbon are always so lazy.

[Firemans4Horn 18,106]

Timmy Allen with a night to forget. 

[hobbes2702 13,045]

This team is ridiculously deep with multiple scoring options. We are a serious contender 

[GreenspointTexas 9,648]

Fuck, allen

[jimmyjazz 45,975]

Is Timmy sick?  His nose is bright red.  (I'm not kidding.)

True but I refuse to believe they are overrated by much.  They're just not a team that gets overrated much.  Unlike...

[HtownHorn 14,723]

That Rice pump fake is lethal.

Ha, nah. It’s rare imo for a team not to make a little run late in a 15-20 point game. Texas won’t blow this by any chance, but if there is a run it’d be fun for the D to stifle it right down as the cherry on top.

Jabari and that head fake ...

Rice having a nice game. Great that Allen isn't our only offense this year

Yeah, to temper my expectations, I checked Gonzaga's Kenpom ranking.

It's 4.

[Pancho 44,856]

I still think Gonzaga beats Kentucky on Sunday tho…

i seriously believe that's a great sign.  Our best player last year is sucking ass and we are still blowing them out.  He's veteran enough that I'm sure he'll bounce back.  Can't imagine what it would be like when he plays like his usual self.

They nearly lost to MSU (in OT) and will probably also be abused by Kentucky on Sunday.  It's taking longer than expected, but they'll be re-ranked like Marquette in due time.

We’re not a basketball school when we’re doing an overrated chant with 5 minutes left. 

[UTEE97 3,522]

We are up 18 with 6 minutes to go. Is that good?

[ztejas 43,475]

Carr may be a necessary evil on this team. He makes a few WTF dumbass plays every game but also seems to have a few amazing, highlight reel plays that result in buckets.

This gonzaga team is not the zags teams of the last few years. I think Kentucky handles them easily.

Wouldn’t shock at all. They may not be #2 but I’d be hard pressed to pick ten better for sure

Not good enough.

3 out of the last 6 at the line is not how you put away elite teams.

Are we good? It feels like we’re good.

I mean they're getting their asses beat by the "#11" team in the country.
