And offensively.  He's not a great shooter.

I can live with his offensive game. He’s explosive around the rim, is a good passer and has pretty good feel. He’s been pretty bad on defense compared to what I expected. He’ll probably still go pro because the NBA seems to be all about potential nowadays.

Oh, no doubt in my mind he's gone.  But I think he's a guy that would benefit from another year. 

KD was ready to make the jump...Mitchell isn't, IMO

Commerce Aggie shooting 53%

Yeah we have had trouble keeping their guards out of the paint.

He leaves a lot to be desired defensively.

Teams are going to be concerned with the shooting. 

Defense they won't care about because he's super athletic with good size and you can teach guys like that how to play team defense. But in this day a guy like him who can't shoot the 3 is a bit of a liability in the NBA. Even if his defense improves.

I think this is far and away my favorite longhorn bball team ever. They play together so well. Everyone is capable of scoring and they are so unselfish. 
 

cmon Carr!  Get it!

They look good, but I'll always be partial to the 2003 team

He’s obviously a really good athlete.  He’s going to need a couple of years to develop.  Hope he stays around.

And thats it for carr tonight

 

 

best offensive game by a longhorn in 26 years

maybe the best shooting game, but KD had several better overall offensive nights, many of them against big xii foes and in huge games.

At game. Whose record has Carr tied, Abrams?

Can’t find the first half record but most points in a game since Reggie freeman.

It is kind of fascinating how the personality of the team seems a lot different under Terry. Suddenly we are this offensive team who gives up 50% shooting to A&M Commerce.

Yeah and it’s hard to complain much after tonight but the defense seems to be heading in the wrong direction.

Typically not the style you want to play in the tournament as defense can be a lot more consistent game to game than hot shooting. We'll also have to see how it goes against top quality competition in conference. I'd feel better if the defense was consistent and offense built off of the defense.
