who is complaining?  I'm just saying it is pathetic for players to ask for students to rush the court.

Apologies. It's dumb to be a little bitch about college players being happy about beating a top 10 team on their home court. It just looks dumb when the losing fans complain about it. Is that better?

Rushing the court is dumb and not classy. But society has moved in that direction as a whole so it is what is now, it's a trend that isnt going away.

What I find stupid is that every dumbass rushing the court is holding their arm out filming themselves or livestreaming themsleves. Such a sad, self-indulgent generation.

yeah, that was pretty much an outlier...

In our last 12 games...we've been ahead at the 10 minute mark of the first half 8 times, behind 3 times, and tied once (Tenn). We were only behind after the first 10 minutes in 2 of our 5 losses.  I'm not arguing that we never start off slow, but our inability to string two good halves together is a much bigger issue to me than constantly getting blown out at the start of games.

Lose to Kansas and we could fall all the way to 5th place.  

Oh....there's no way we beat Kansas, and they'll be playing their bench the 2nd half.  Beard is the difference...coaching just not there to adjust.

Totally agree with this, but this is where we are these days. Fans should stay off the field/court of play, but it happens everywhere and I'm not going to bitch about it when there's a really easy way to prevent it.

Whatever. Beard went 10-8 last year in the Big 12 and lost in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. I mean good on him for beating Virginia Tech but what did this turd do here at UT to justify all this theoretical glory and all these hypothetical championships? He didn't do shit that Shaka Smart didn't do in the Big 12.

If he had all this potential to adjust his way to championships well he never fucking showed it. Lost to Illinois and got his ass fired.

With Mitchell and Morris zeroes now this team isn’t deep. I’d actually see if Morris could give you more juice off the bench. 
 

Cunningham is a great second unit and energy guy but giving him 22 minutes is a sign of a team that has a ceiling that no one will like.

This shit is so stupid. Don't give the opposing team a reason to rush the court. Complaining about it after the fact is a dumb moral victory.

I cringe everytime I see someone brings this up. Yes, this game was big for them. It should have been big for us too. We need to learn how to get up for every game if we want to be at the top. That's the head coach's job. You don't see KU laying an egg often when it matters even though they get everyone's best shot.

I had high hopes for Mitchell but I am concerned about the way he's looked in the past few games. 10 minutes 2 pts 2 rebounds tonight.

Rodney Terry better not fucking sniff the HC position. Get him the fuck out.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him make a shot that farther than 4 feet.   And 4 feet is a crap shoot.

I had so much fun watching this team in November, December. They are not fun to watch any more, and haven't been for a few weeks. I don't know where we go from here once we get rid of our 5 different European league JAGs we have running this team as veterans, especially since our 5-stars also look like JAGs. They were supposed to raise the ceiling of this team, but they haven't established that they're even Big 12 worthy yet. At least I can confidently say Fuck Chris Beard and his trash ass.

I like you. You are a very good poster. This is a horrifically terrible take. 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

While Cunningham obviously shouldn't be playing 22 minutes regularly, last night we really needed him. He had five offensive rebounds, just one fewer than the rest of the team combined. He wouldn't be so important if other guys would step up, but often they don't. Allen played 28 minutes yet had only four boards, all defensive. I appreciated his six assists, but the guy is just too passive overall. He makes Gandhi seem like Attila the Hun.

The Great Disappearing Timmy Allen.

Does anyone have a video of the pick that lead to RT getting a tech?  It’s strange that they didn’t show a replay of it on the broadcast.

[KingBobo81 535]

It seemed like on the last defensive possession we needed a stop on and TCU got an offensive rebound, Brock was the biggest guy on the floor - I thought that was an odd choice with how badly we were getting outrebounded.

Terry is throwing crap in the wall and seeing what sticks. His rotations are head scratchers and player development is actually negative.

My man. Disu got fucking tackled with 45 seconds left and it resulted in a turnover

Even the announcers, who always suck ref cock, said they blew the call

That was one of like 20 times our players got tackled with no call

My biggest issue with the current trend of broadcasting to "sell" the sport.  We never get replays of controversial calls or non-calls.  The announcers are relentlessly positive about the calls and the officiating with one or two disagreements allowed per game it seems.  There is no neutrality in any broadcast because the networks and the leagues are partners.  I hate it.

Same for Timmy. Start Rice and Brock. Bring Tim and Mitchell off the bench. 

When Allen and Carr struggle this team isn't winning any games.

Beard really loved the small lineup with Allen or Brock at center near the ends of games and of sucked for rebounding and interior defense

Determination is a major factor in rebounding.  Too bad none of Brock’s “want to” has rubbed off on his bigger bodied teammates.  They’re weak and soft.

I'd prepare myself for the exact opposite to happen, unless he loses in the 1st round of the NCAAs. He has a lot going in his favor for that job, stuff that matters to university's like UT. I'm with you, he is in way over his head, but that's not what one media member or university leader will say publicly.

Nah man. CDC so far has made good decisions, when left to his own devices anyway. He won't do something knee-jerk like award RT the head coaching position for doing a decent job. 

Granted if he does make it to the Sweet 16 I might start to come around to your way of thinking but let's see him do that first.

I'm just preparing myself for the kick in the junk that Ill feel if Rodney Terry is named permanent head coach, especially if the season ends in the second round.

Did they show the shit on TV between TCU's first row students under our basket right before TCU had 6 on court? That's why Terry got T'd up, that particular ref had just got a fucking earful from those students, enough to get the cops called over. That's why he was so quick with the T, feelings were a little hurt.

They did not show any of that, they completely ignored everything about the tech.

We were on the TCU end in 2nd half, so obviously didn't hear the magic words, but it was clearly enough to get two uniformed cops involved. Appeared to be a little bitty brunette flanked by a guy on each side that were the subjects, but nobody got ran.
