Rejoice in the fact that he should be done with Texas Basketball after this year's campaign (I hope).

Just wait … Galindo will be the designated Texas PBP for ESPN+

I like the lighter wood look a lot - it reminds me of Duke's court. However, Coach K Court has a more grainy look, and I agree with you that it looks better.

yes, something like this would be a big time upgrade over what we currently have.

[TexArcher 37761]

That was a nice tribute.  Rest in peace, Lance.

Goddamn, that Lance Tribute vid might be the best thing Lowell has ever done

Not much competition.

IT Horton showing some And 1 mixtape moves out there. 👀

Did Lowell just say, "uh ohhhh" as they cut it to 30?

Fucking tool.

[shadow_operative 15932]

you get the sense that this team has a BMW-style flair for the dramatic. we’ll have to reel it in at times, but this could be a really fun team to watch, even for neutral observers.

[shadow_operative 15932]

this is a really good passing team. shedrick’s ability to distribute has been a revelation. a lot to like about all of the new faces so far. 

[TexArcher 37761]

I think that guy was in El Debarge.

Shedrick looks like he has more game than I thought but it is UIW. 

It does make you wonder if just being in UVA's system limited his abilities. They play a very ugly style of basketball. Shedrick playing in a run-and-gun offense like this after UVA must be hilarious.

I was just about to post a near carbon copy of this. I'm very curious to see if, collectively, this style of play outlasts UIW, and if Shedrick's versatility does as well.

Horton has missed a few 3s tonight that he normally can hit. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

brock’s three ball looking reliable as ever. 

[VinyVango 684]

I think Lowell should be Incarnate word’s Craig way

[HookEm 2463]

That offensive rebound and subsequent 3 is textbook Brock. That is why I love him getting 20 mpg.

Need to see against better competition but Abmas showing he will at least give effort on the defensive end. 

Abmas and Hunter were damn good that half defensively. Completely disrupted UIW on the perimeter. 

Yeah, I thought Max was going to be a defensive liability, but so far not so much. My expectations for this team are growing

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Pryor getting some minutes. 

[MuellerHorn 4228]

It'll be fun to see the walk-ons get some run.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Abmas, Hunter and Horton are going to give teams issues. All 3 are capable of going off from 3 on any given night. 

[HookEm 2463]

I really think this team has the potential to be better than last year’s team. It is better constructed IMO. The bigs should be a significant upgrade if Disu can come back healthy. And the guards can all score and play defense.

The wildcard will be Mitchell. He was basically a non factor last year. This year he could be an absolute monster. I actually love him playing the 3. He is moving around extremely well and will be a matchup problem at either the 3 or the 4.

He needs to take Mitchell with him to the gym

And with Cunningham hitting the three from the four position, you can put some scary lineups out there

I think we have the potential to be a lot better offensively. 

Allen, Mitchell, and Disu starting 5 last year was not capable of stretching the court like this team is. 

[BigOrange1 6432]

this is one of the better openers that i can ever remeber.  team looks electric and dynamic.  i can already tell that horton is going to be one of my favorite players.  i'm pumped.

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Shedrick with the stare down!

He’s gonna thrive here and away from the playing in molasses style of Virginia

I loved Timmy, but at times he felt like a tampon in the toilet

[HookEm 2463]

Agree 100%. I always felt bad about not liking him being on the floor because he seemed like a great dude. And his stats were decent. But I thought the team played much better with Brock getting his minutes.

The big issue was pairing Timmy with Mitchell at the 3 and 4. 

Two non-shooters before even factoring in the 5. Teams win these days by having shooters all over the floor. 

[VinyVango 684]

We are much better off on the interior this year … bishop gave effort but was not a presence like our two bigs tonight … and those spells with Cunningham at center and Timmy at power forward sucked last year

[TexArcher 37761]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there aren't 17 better teams than Texas.

[shadow_operative 15932]

this. team. can. pass. we already knew that shooting and defense project to be strengths this year, but if this team is really going to have 4-5 passers on the floor at all times then yeah, we’re going to challenge for some real hardware.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Weaver!

I always feel at the beginning of the year and we play crap teams, that we are world beaters. But this team has a lot of balance and talent at all positions. But we’re gonna need somebody to step up and be our Rice, an attitude finisher guy.

[VinyVango 684]

Team definitely feels salty and bouncy as hell … it’ll be nice to get Disu and Max on the floor together building some chemistry

[HookEm 2463]

Abmas is an even better closer than Rice IMO. He shot ~92% FTs on volume last year (vs. 86% Rice).  He should fill that role exceptionally well.

Also I want to reiterate how great a hire Frank Haith was. I mean really really great hire. He is going to have a tangible impact on the offense this year.  That was a coaching upgrade.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

The nice thing about this style of play is recruits and transfers want to play like this. 

Shedrick can be a real selling point. 

[HookEm 2463]

Like the Rodney Terry hire or not, the OVERALL coaching talent on this team is exceptional IMO.  

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Horton may be our leading scorer because teams are going to swarm to Abmas and Hunter. Horton can really shoot from 3 and he's missed a few tonight that he can normally hit. 

Horton with 17 points tonight. 

[HookEm 2463]

See... yall mocked me for putting Perryman in lineups.  Now he is out here draining 3s.  Lol.

[Js1 85261]

Lowell gonna be jerking it to Sky Wicks for a while 

[HookEm 2463]

Horton has a little junkyard dog in him. I like having bigger guards like that who can play multiple positions. I think Mitchell is going to eat into his minutes when Disu comes back and we go bigger.

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Solid debut

[Js1 85261]

Solid. Lots to be excited about for this team 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Line was 30.5
We beat the spread by 1.5 🤘
