Texas vs Wyoming- 2pm on LHN

[shadow_operative 15932]

kenpom has us winning 79-63.

[MrX 710]

Gonna wager small on Texas -16. Wyoming looks sloppy with the ball and I think we run and wear them out. 

[Hookem2147 20926]

Gerry said he thinks Shedrick will play

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

Another sloooow start.  How about some set plays to start a game, RT?

[shadow_operative 15932]

man. we’re far enough into the season where i’m seeing things from RT’s team that just do not meet the standard set by barnes and beard. abmas has a shaka-like green light as soon as he crosses half court, our team does not consistently get into good offensive sets which we’ve mastered, instead opting far too often for pounding the ball/mindless passing ending with a late clock heave, and the defense is pretty much as poor as it’s been since Penders. i don’t enjoy typing these things, but it’s what i’m seeing so far.

Cold from deep so far 

[shadow_operative 15932]

that IT three was much better. under beard i was blown away by how many of our shot attempts were essentially practice reps. that was a practice rep shot right there.

[Hookem2147 20926]

Dillon Mitchell has met his yearly quota of 3 point attempts. I’ve seen enough.

[shadow_operative 15932]

max abmas shot selection sucks.

It’s a blessing and a curse that he’s in range when he steps off the bus.

I suspect that’s been his game his whole career. Gunning away. Hopefully RT can add some structure.

that’s a barnes quote from some practice from way back in the day btw. always stuck with me. we recruit at a very high level; we should be coaching and developing at a very high level; at that point, it’s on the coaches to put the players in a position to succeed, and then up to the players to do the right thing. when we take a turn around, fade away three with 25 seconds left on the shot clock it doesn’t go well. when we get/take wide open catch-and-shoot jumpers we splash them. it really does come down to player execution, and this team is talented enough to do really well if they can be disciplined on offense.

eta: being more disciplined on offense would really help out our defense as well.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Powell transfer to Texas.

[Mo Horn 8807]

Getting Dsiu back will help, but we will get beat by any team with above average big guys, unless we figure something out. U Conn was a clinic, and Wyoming hurting us as well.

Onyema is not good. It will be better when he’s playing 8 minutes a night instead of 15-20.

[shadow_operative 15932]

man mitchell can fly. his blocked shots are majestic.

If he could develop any kind of outside shot, he'd be a lottery pick

[Mo Horn 8807]

Abmas

[shadow_operative 15932]

nice buzzer beater max! better end to the half after yet another slow start.

Uconn was #5, defending champs and could roll out 7'2, 6'10, 6'10...we're not going to run into many teams like that. But to claim any time we play a team with above average bigs we lose is some pussy-ass bullshit. 

[BigTEAMLittleme 188]

That’s two straight layups on an inbound play we’ve given up…

[HookEm 2442]

Brock is the best passer on this team. Fight me.

[HookEm 2442]

Ha. And immediately Brock throws a bad pass turnover.

[Pato del Muerto 52337]

Didn’t take long for Bowen to hate galindo.  Busy talking  and Lowell just hollered over him for the hunter dunk, then kept yelling for another 30 seconds as Bruce just laid out.

[HookEm 2442]

Abmas can score. There is no doubt about that.  I really like it so much better when he is attacking instead of just waiting to shoot 3s.

[Hookem2147 20926]

This team will be able to score with pretty much anyone. Defense at the guard spots likely determined if this is a first weekend team or something more.

[HOOKEM4 5016]

Took my boys to the game. I really like what I saw. Great win. I absolutely love this stadium.

[MrX 710]

Show me the money!

[HOOKEM4 5016]

Was that a rig 12 crew today? One of the zebras seemed to have a hardon for us for a bit in the second half. Terry was pissed. 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

This game actually had me worried. Wyoming has some players and can score with a good coach.

So good to see him hit some shots and look comfortable with Hunter. Excited to watch this season unfold.

Can’t wait to visit Moody for a game.

 

I have pics of my daughters with PJ Tucker and Daniel Gibson as kids at FEC. Her fiancé works with the Blazers and recently tried to mansplain PJ to her. She was having none of it.

Have you seen their schedule? They beat furman and Charleston by 7 and lost to saint louis by 10. We beat them by the amount i expected us too. Especially at home.

Holy shit, how many times does this have to be said, there are no conference officials in basketball. They are all affiliated with the NCAA with certain territories.

3 of their top 6 players are underclassmen and they can score. Plus Linder is a good coach. 

I bet this Wyoming team ends up being very similar to the 25-9 team from 2 years ago that made the tournament.
