[SWEET SIXTEEN BOUND] Texas vs Penn State - NCAA Tourney round of 32

Just got back to the hotel from the game.  

 

The horns down thing is worn, tired and boring at this point.  We live rent free in basically everyone's head in Iowa... and everywhere else.

 

Hook em!

For all the good Barnes did, he had a habit of slowing the game down too much in the final five minutes and turning it over to his stars for one on one basketball. Now he did have NBA star players so I can understand it. But keeping the pace up allows you to exploit your talent advantage and find open players easier. Terry doesn’t do what Barnes did and I think so far that seems to be working ok. 

This is a great take. 

[HOOKEM4 5174]

Did we only make 1 three? Epic.

It’s hilarious. For 3 coaches in a row ISU has built their entire roster with transfers. They were loading up on transfers basically before anyone else in the country was. They lose one guy and they piss their pants crying. Loser school with loser fans, shocker their best player left them

[BarthHollamew 251]

Sooooooo happy with the defensive plan and effort tonight.  To go 1-13 from three and still get the dub means we’re doing so many other things well.   Disu can feast on teams that don’t have a strong inside presence.  Haven’t watched Xavier or Pitt to know if they have legit rim protectors or not.  Dish’s touch has been so impressive lately.

Pitt is big and wants to slow the game down. Xavier is a more high scoring offense - nothing we didn’t see in the Big 12 consistently.

Naww, y'all are just bitchasses who can't handle adversity.

Again, it's a game of runs. PSU made one. Timmy contributed to that, but that shouldn't negate the other 35+ minutes (or whatever it was) of outstanding basketball that he played.

Own it. The truth shall set you free.

And that run was fueled by Allen being tired af. Which is why coach called a timeout and settled that shit down.

Runs have reasons... Basketball isn't random.

Both teams have 2 seven footers, but the Pitt guys are sticks. Xavier actually has good guards too

Rice and company looking to explode next game. They had their down game on their way to beating two of the better three point shooting teams. Looking for them to go off now.

He did more than that. Called a play - Marcus to the hole for 2 when we were down two scores then feed Disu. We’ve seen Barnes and Shaka shit the bed last 5 mins, this man deserves a helluva lot of credit tonight. Future status is something else but tonight he coached well.

He's coached well and made great adjustments in a lot of games this year.

Honestly I was a bit concerned he was sticking to the "best 5" lineup too much for the last 10 minutes of the game today but I was wrong.

Yep.

Winning that game while going 1 for 100 from 3 bodes well for future games.

No way we shoot that poorly from 3 in any game moving forward.

They definitely looked tired for a bit and he called timeouts twice when Barnes for sure would have let it ride. Kudos to calling the TO to stop state’s run as soon as they took the lead.

The play after the time out was the 2-man action that got Disu an easy basket. Disu scored the 1st 6 points after that time out to put Texas up 3, then Carr got the layup.

My bad. 
point still remains re the reset in the TO. The offense was laser focused and disciplined down the stretch. Not one bad decision (on offense) to close it out. Carr’s foul was you know.

curious who had the ball on the pick and roll with Disu on the first play and who if anyone set the screen for carr on the second?

[The Ace of Aces 5377]

One thing that will get overlooked - Texas was very well coached in basically 40 hours to defend against Penn State. They use slip screens that Texas never sees, and Pickett is a legitimate probably top 10 player this season. Their offense the last two months was pretty flawless - slip screen setting up in and out movement to generate open 3s. 
 

Texas didn’t allow any of it minus that rough 6 or whatever minute stretch midway thorough the 2nd. They had a hand on the face of every jump shot, deflected a ton of passes and were glue. Allen held Pickett one on one - no one had done that in many many weeks. Very impressive defensively - credit to Terry and the staff. With the offense really sputtering this easily would be a loss. The D won this game. Incredible effort. We saw it against Kansas too, but they’re a little “easier” to scheme against imo than the slip screen offense.

Carr had the ball on the 2-man action with Disu. Penn State hedged on Carr throughout the game. They were determined to keep him out of the paint.

[honolulu horn 6226]

I expect the next opponent to sell out guarding Disu. He has been on a hot streak the past several games and they will naturally focus on him. I think his recent emergence took some teams by surprise. Before Disu it was Rice. Before Rice it was Carr. 

We have so many weapons on this team. Looking forward to seeing who steps up to take the offensive lead when Pitt or Xavier start focusing on DD.

Yeah, this is our best offense. 

The 2-man pick and roll with Disu and Carr is really tough to stop. The broadcasters were talking about this in the Big 12 championship game and they were right. 

[dieucla98 2955]

Basketball anxiety is so much worse than football anxiety. It's constant and unrelenting and I'm fucking here for it.

We won two games in two very different ways. That's a sign of a great team.

[Rickylovesweed 15461]

We're winning but I wonder if sticking with Mitchell is the right play. He's invisible out there. 

I think we really need those 8-10 minutes to go to Rice, Cunningham or Bishop with these games getting tighter.

Reading through this game thread makes me glad I stopped posting in most bball game threads, especially during the tournament.  We have an inordinate amount of bitchass, chicken little posters around here who are ready to throw in the towel at the first sign of adversity, seemingly more than most fan bases.  We also apparently have a bunch of dummies who believe that basketball teams have an unlimited stash of timeouts.  Like Borzello referenced above Terry and the coaching staff showed their wares down the stretch. That open floor pick n roll gave Dylan and Marcus Carr a lot of room to.make magic happen down the stretch and it's literally something we pulled out of our asses cuz I haven't  seen us run a pick n roll like that on the weak side all year.  It totally surprised Penn St and caught them off guard.

[ztejas 44223]

I was chuckling thinking about all the people that had Texas -5.5 watching Carr miss that 1 and 1 then foul on the 3.

Meh. Fuck 'em.

[Rickylovesweed 15461]

If it's Xavier, I really like that match up for us on the offensive end. 

Nunge is a good interior defender but he's not mobile enough on the perimeter. That Carr and Disu pick and roll will give them all types of issues. Kennessaw State was terrorizing Xavier with the pick and roll. 

[Rickylovesweed 15461]

For perspective....I don't know what Xavier will do with Nunge assuming they advance. I can't see this working against Carr and Disu.

[SKA the boss 729]

A good night to have your “bad” offensive game in the tournament. It’s behind us.
This team is so deep. So tested. Even when they were shooting their own toes off, they were able to regroup and step up when it mattered.
It seems like they are on a mission.

[Rickylovesweed 15461]

Seems about right. I think our best chance of advancing far is to stick with 7 guys (all the experienced guys).

Dylan's younger brother is tall too. Probably won't end up as big as Dylan but around 6'7 or 6'8.

I didn’t attend that kind of school. 

It was a bit more elite than that. 

[Rickylovesweed 15461]

The encouraging thing is it looks like Texas is trending back in the direction of being an elite defensive team again. 

Now #10 adjD according to Kenpom. It was looking like a month ago this might not even be a top 25 defensive team.

[JGrayDBU 372]

Incredible game! 

It is really hard to believe we could win in two completely different ways only 40 hours apart.  The poor team preparing for us will not have have a clue how to prepare.  

The key number was 5, as in 5 turnovers and #5 driving to the hoop at the crucial time.  The determination Carr showed to drive the lane while holding the ball in one arm was amazing. 

The thing I think I was most impressed with was the turnovers being reduced to next to nothing. 

As long as we stay loose and get the evenly called game, I feel very good about moving on.

Moses Malone was 6'10". His dad was only 5'6". His mom was 5'2". Wilt Chamberlain wasn't much different with a 5'8" dad and 5'9" mom.

[Rickylovesweed 15461]

I know Penn State was only a 10 seed but the more I watched them I reached the conclusion this was a brutal 2nd round draw. 

They don't turn the ball over, they don't foul, they have 3 or 4 shooters that can get hot from 3, and Pickett is one of the best scorers in college basketball. I think they could beat a lot of teams in the tournament. 

If they had just had a slightly above average big man that's an elite 8 team.

Yes, the defensive strategies installed by Terry at the end of conference play and the both tournaments have been impressive. Some individual player defensive goofs coupled with poor 3 point shooting kept Penn St in the game. 

[Js1 87174]

My favorite was is still Pickett trying to old school back down Timmy towards the end of the game with a bunch of old man style moves to get around him and Timmy did not let up or give up his ground an inch. Don’t play that old school shit on our old man.

My cousin always said something about tall kids. Her husband was a great player in college in the 60s who still holds school scoring records as well as a conference scoring record. Her boys both played CBB. Anyway, her observation has always been that tall moms make tall boys, more so than tall dads. Dylan’s mom looks to be 5’-10” or taller.
