That's 7 seasons in the last 20 over 71 percent as a team. That's far from bad. 

Last year 71% could reasonably be considered "bad" (206/352).  Call it what you want.

To be fair, when you actually recruit basketball players and not just “dudes who jump super high and shit” like Shaka, you get better FT results. It’s no surprise that list is entirely Barnes, Beard and RT. Not a Shaka team on there

This is where I'm at with 3 point shooting as well. We've been worse at the line than we've been from deep, but I still struggle to think of the last team that really caused any of our opponents to guard us differently because we shot the ball so well. 

Both Rice and Carr punished team's that chose to leave them open from 3 last season.

Max Abmas named Preseason All Big. Joined by Cryer (UH), Dickinson (KU), Harris (KU), Miller (TCU)

Disu, Hunter and Mitchell were honorable mention

No surprise - Hunter Dickinson (KU) named preseason Player and Newcomer of the Year and Baylor's Ja'Coby Walter is preseason Freshman of the Year

We have been so bad for so long.  Did you miss the "battered wife syndrome" part of my post?

Jesus, you people will parse anything.  Tell me, if you've been following Texas basketball for, say, more than 20  years, would you consider this a "good free-throw shooting program"?

lol ok derka. FT shooting has been a major strength for this program the last two years when we've finished 2nd and 1st in the BXII respectively in FT%. last year great FT shooting was a hallmark of this team.

people have also pointed out to you that we really only consistently sucked under shaka. penders, barnes, beard, terry all have had good-great FT shooting teams. but you don't care. you remain unfazed.

you: "we've been so bad for so long at FTs that i can't believe we'll be good at them this year."

the board: "we've been good at FTs both of the last two years, and generally good outside of the shaka years."

you: "JESUS CHRIST YOU PEOPLE WILL PARSE ANYTHING!"

 

LOL. but don't let that stop you from snapping on everyone else like it's their problem that you haven't been keeping up with the team. 👌🏼

also, i never saw this posted here, but max abmas spent this summer training with Trae Young and KD. i am expecting him to be the best version of himself that he's ever been, and that translates into a 1st team AA caliber guard for us. even if we have too much depth/talent for Abmas to receive such accolades, he could very feasibly be one of the 3-5 best guards in America. the hype about this back court is real, and abmas is the top dog.

Now I will start to pay the price for switching to YouTube TV, which has no LHN. PM me if anyone has a reliable way to stream it.

The weird thing is YTTV is "connected" to LHN.  They just don't show it.  

 

If you're at all technical, you might look into Channels for YTTV.  
The interface is way better.  Channels DVR plays & DVR's all of the TVE channels that YTTV offers, which is most of them.

Gonna be weird without Lance Blanks’ cheer on broadcasts this year. All love to Lance’s family.

Yes. Whenever I mention an athlete's strenf or lenf, I do so affectionately. He will be missed.

RIP, Mr. Blanks.

Son went for the first half.  Said that Mitchell looked really good.  He made multiple turn around jump shots.  He said that Weaver flashed some.  Also said that not being at full strength really seemed to disrupt things.  Players just couldn’t get into a good groove.

I really like basketball games in Gregory, but wish we had a basketball only vintage court to move in there for when they are played.

There was never a vintage basketball court because the volleyball team also played there so they had volleyball lines on the court as well. but I agree, it would have been nice.

KVUE needs a competent sound editor.  Maybe don't have the voices panned hard left and the splash music panned hard right next time.  I'll do it for $100 a segment, because I hate low rent production, and that was super bad.
