Post-Beard Game 6: Ok State @ Texas, 8pm, LHN

[shadow_operative 15932]

it is shocking how poorly we defend the three since beard left. if anyone out there still wonders just how much of it is the coaches and how much of it is the players, look no further than 2022-23 Texas. you subtract one person from a program of dozens, and it goes from an intense, smothering defensive team that is a favorite to make the FF, to a team with no identity that can give up 80, 90, 100+ points every night. it's unreal.

It's almost like that's our strategy.  Force them to win the games by taking 3's.  

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Keep going inside. These refs are dying to call fouls. 

[BigOrange1 6433]

man brock has been huge tonight.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

I've said it before, but our best lineup is with Cunningham at the 5. 

If teams can't score inside this lineup is deadly. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Brock Curry.

[Js1 85280]

Brock the sharpshooter 

[ztejas 43411]

The miscommunication when it comes to who is supposed to be guarding who is getting to be a real beating.

I don't think this is breaking news.  That said, they're still playing pretty well.  Try to find a nugget of happiness in there.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Brock is good. Just embrace it. 

[rivin 199]

I see you Brock

Terry's gold glasses?

[LonghornSean 3989]

Brock was 39.6 percent on 3’s coming into tonight according to stats printout, behind Carr at 40.5. (Anamakewe at 61).

Dude has been killing it

This small lineup is deadly because they have a big chasing Brock which is 1) not going to work and 2) it opens stuff up at the rim because the big is on the perimeter. 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

We are 8 for 13 from three. 61.5% Yowza.

All while looking like he just rolled out of bed after a night chasing tail 

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

42 fucking fouls… goddamn

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Ball game

[ztejas 43411]

We have 3 timeouts. There's no reason to take that turnover on the Carr trap.

Whatever.

Not necessarily wrong.

[CurlyDumps 4468]

This is somehow gonna be a 5 point game with :25 left.

[shakahorn 1645]

Cunningham basically perfect tonight.  Only missed shot was the hail mary at end of 1h.  Which was ugly...but still...

What a bizarre thing to say.  "OK, now that I'm standing in as head coach, I need to take care of my health."

Really?  Were you working less before?  Yikes.  There's a great reason not to hire the guy right there. His drive is questionable.

Hey Brock, we're taking team photos today, so make sure you look presentable:

Love this guy...non-stop motor...rebounding machine...hits clutch threes...doesn't give a fuck.

If we can pull it off against Baylor and finish the first half 7-2, that would be incredible

These right here.

On a per-minute basis, don't think anyone on the team gets more criticism than Brock, yet the dude continues to ball and prove them wrong.

He's only a role player, but he plays an important role and has his entire time on The Forty.

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Oh my

god

[Js1 85280]

Did the 5 second ref call that one?

[shadow_operative 15932]

indefensibly terrible call. jesus christ. 

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Ball dont lie u cocksucking refs

44 fouls called in this game

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

These refs are so bad. Just love to blow their whistle. 

[shakahorn 1645]

What's the rule?  Does there need to be possession in the front court before 10?

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Our last two games have both been over 2 hrs and 20 min

[BigOrange1 6433]

solid ass win right there.  never really in doubt.

[shadow_operative 15932]

lol holy shit, that is easily the worst miss i have ever seen on a pull up three. 🤣🤣🤣

[ztejas 43411]

Great W. Sloppy on D but ran the offense well all night and never let them get close in the 2H. 

[Gucci_Suit 2642]

Did Charlie Strong get a technical foul?

[Js1 85280]

Needed to hold home court. Feels like we haven’t swept OSU in ages 

[TexArcher 37767]

Solid win.  17-3 and 6-2 is pretty damned salty, all things considered.

Lots of shit to improve on, we'll see how they handle the next 4 games.

Yes.

It was too close to blow it. Should have let it go.

I love the guy.  He's not the most talented guy on the floor, but he's nonstop effort and he's a clever player, too.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Some decent minutes from the freshmen tonight. They don't need to be great but just serviceable. Mitchell needs to keep hitting the offensive boards like he did in the 1st half because that's where his value is.

The guy has improved his game every year. He's gone from the intangibles dude to solid contributor. Now defenses have to consider him a scorer. It opens up the offense tremendously.
