I know it's early but so far this season this feels like a middle of the pack in the Big 12 team.  Hope they gel more as the season moves on and prove me wrong.  

Maybe bottom 3rd if Hunter's injury is serious. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

These refs have been bad. 

[Mo Horn 8817]

WTF?

Lol what are you talking about? He walked off perfectly fine.

Should probably give this team more then 3 games to get some chemistry and cohesiveness 

Oh I get it that's why I said I hope they gel more.  Just saying right now they look pretty raw. 

[MirrOlure 14757]

Yeah. I don’t think it’s serious…

I’ll take that tech. He’s like draymond green but with better hair!

Lol.  I said if.  Obviously it wasn't serious.

[Hookem2147 21188]

This team feels much more balanced from a scoring perspective than last year.

[shadow_operative 15932]

that lob to mitchell took about 10 seconds too long to take place lol. he was just standing back there for what felt like an eternity, just waiting for someone to give him the lob. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

@chemHORNneeds to post on the football board with his pessimism.

First he says Texas looks like a middle of the pack Big 12 team after winning games by 20 without arguably their best player (Disu). Then he says Hunter might have a serious injury and 2 minutes later Hunter is back in the game. 

Goodness. Get some valium.

Yeah to be fair I'm watching on and off trying to get a 2 week old to sleep.

8 hours of straight sleep would probably do just as well.  

[NOOBSDUDE 588]

First game I’ve been able to really watch all season. For a bunch of guys still getting to know each other they look like they play well together. When Disu gets back I expect us to challenge for the big 12 title.

[hookemATL 11701]

Respect. That is a rough stretch. My tip is to hum margaritaville or Mercedes Benz by Janis. Worked wonders getting my kids to sleep. 
 

Come on. Finish the game. 🤘

Weaver's nickname has to be "Kid" right? 

[shadow_operative 15932]

EVERYBODY LAY OFF CHEMHORN, jesus christ the man just had a baby. he’s a hero just for being awake to watch this game. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Kenpom is going to be close to nailing this score again. 

Texas -18 might have seemed low but about right the way Rice scores.

With a two week old just Texas and Kansas so far.  Haven't had much time to watch anyone else yet.  We do seem to get stronger later in games which is a nice departure from watching football

[HookEm 2463]

Shedrick 1/1 from 3. In his entire 76 games for Virginia across 3 years he only shot 7 3s. He can clearly shoot as evidenced by his ~80% FT rate. I wouldn’t mind seeing him take a 3 per game.

So how can you possibly have any opinion whatsoever on how this team ranks in the big 12 when all you've seen is them and the number 1 ranked team in the country? 

They went to overtime with Rice last year then won the big 12. Every power 5 team turns over a ton of their roster every year now with the portal and still only 5 guys and 1 ball on the court at a time.

Thanks.  I'm good for bad takes sometimes.  Lol.  Luckily the almost two year old can sleep through anything, including the late night cries of his baby sister.  

[Grande Mart 510]

First game I've watched this season. Liking the fire in Onyema.

[MirrOlure 14757]

I tuned in mostly to see Mitchell. Very much liking what we’re seeing

[shadow_operative 15932]

great assist in transition from mitchell. he is really going to get to showcase his skills this year. he’s clearly got more in his bag than what he showed year one. 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

I'll give Lowell credit for the "Go-go-Gadget Arms" call there on Michell's oop.

Relax.  I just said "feels like" .  I didn't say they 100 percent would be. I also said right now with the qualifier that I understand they have the chance to gel better.

So the hype squad MC guy that everyone hates at DKR brought out a football player to shoot off the T-shirt cannon.

And he goes , “I don’t even need to say his name. You know who it is.” Never announced his name .

I’m pretty sure it was Jahdae Barron. But I don’t think MC guy knew who it was.

Worthy, Jonathan Brooks, and Sweat were also in the house.

Too bad they didn’t turn the gun on the fucker and shoot a t-shirt down his throat

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Kenpom knew Rice had a pretty good offense. This was never going to be a 30+ point blowout like the others because of how Rice scores. 

Louisville up next. They're probably worse than Rice but it is on a neutral court. 

[Js1 85260]

Louisville is terrible. We should win convincingly 

[shadow_operative 15932]

if we manage to not turn the ball over 25 times we are going to kill louisville. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Yeah, Louisville is atrocious. 

3 point L to Kentucky Wesleyan in an exhibition at home, 1 point win vs UMBC at home, and 10 point loss to Chattanooga at home. They likely aren't even a top 200 team by the end of the season.

Should be good since we are only averaging 16.  That needs to come down  by half before big 14 play.  

[KingBobo81 534]

I caught a t-shirt from the mighty fine Gatling gun tonight….gonna proudly put that size small bad boy on my grown ass man body

[BurgleBro 787]

Didn't want to start a separate thread and SIAP but Abmas looks like AJ Abrams 2.0 out there lol. 

Similar name and same number.  Similar stature. 

Had to do a double take watching highlights
