Texas vs Texas State- 8pm on LHN

[Mo Horn 8,817]

This game is triggering my PTSD of so many past teams that started the season strong and then collapsed and were barely mediocre by March.

CLANK!!

[chemHORN 1,239]

[David Dennison 18,839]

And another missed three.

[David Dennison 18,839]

Man, we are taking some bad shots.

[VinyVango 684]

Abmas didn’t even look before he chunked that last brick

[David Dennison 18,839]

I haven't seen a Texas team get out-hustled like this in a long time.

[chemHORN 1,239]

I think he shouldn't go by Ace-mas until he starts making shots.  He is Abe-mas for now

[BigTEAMLittleme 198]

No discipline whatsoever. None.

Big 12 play is going to be a bloodbath.

I'm not ready to go that far.  I think after getting up 21 they just expected a cake walk the rest of the way and stopped playing good ball.  Not ideal but fixable. 

[GreenspointTexas 9,598]

Holy shit

[Js1 85,259]

lol wow Abmas 

[Pam Cummings 9,639]

What a finish by Abmas

[David Dennison 18,839]

And now we can't miss.

Sports!

[Js1 85,259]

We woke up lol

[Blotto 23,485]

its gonna be a rollercoaster watching Max play all season. Dude aint afraid to put it up. 

[chemHORN 1,239]

Maverick's re-engaging sir

[kingkoopa6 8,344]

LFG

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

This game may be a blessing in disguise. 

We need to run more zone like this with Mitchell at the top of the zone. We should not be getting beat off the dribble against teams that can't shoot. Let them shoot from the perimeter and then it leads to fast break buckets like it is now.

I’m too old for this. Give me last year‘s elite defense in every game and I’ll take my chances.

[HtownHorn 14,663]

Nice 13-0 run in the last two minutes.

We weren't an elite defense last year, and we will not be an elite defense this year. You can't be an elite defense when you start two 6' guards. This team needs to score in the 80s consistently because the offense can be lethal.

[UTEE97 3,507]

I miss Sir'Jabari Rice.

[chemHORN 1,239]

Mitchell might be the leading scorer for some other teams this season

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

PnR doesn't work with Shedrick. 

This is why we need Disu back. Keep Shedrick on the low block. 

[Mo Horn 8,817]

Don't love the drive from the key for the big guy

Shedrick won't be on the perimeter at all once Disu returns. I bet he will be in the paint 90% of the game.  

[Hookem2147 21,188]

Ain’t no way Texas State been making some of these fadeaway jumpers all season

I don't mind the defense right now.

Texas State hitting jumpers and we're getting fast break points when they aren't hitting tough shots. We need to run more zone to just keep the ball in front.

We absolutely were in the top 10 in defense before Beard left. When Terry took over, we fell to around 100. We also aren’t scoring in the 80s on offense when our guards are Abmas, Hunter, Horton, and Weaver. 

[VinyVango 684]

Way too much dribbling on offense this game … they’ve shown earlier this season they can whip the ball around and get open shots but don’t seem interested in running any sets at all on offense tonight

Yeah, we were Top 15 in both offense and defense last year (one of only 3 teams along with Connecticut and Houston). We were borderline elite, and maybe things get better when Disu gets back and we have some help side rim protection to go with Shedrick.

Forgettable game for Brock tonight

Considering are adjusted D KenPom rating finished 13th, I’m gonna call BS on that.

[ClubWhatever 12,120]

OU beat this team by 40

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

Texas finished 13th in adjusted D last year (Kenpom) and I think it was actually better than where we were before Beard went full idiot mode. Or it was right around the same ranking.

@SalJust making shit up. 

[Mo Horn 8,817]

Taking after the football team and winning ugly. But still a win.

Off by 2 points. 

[Hookem2147 21,188]

I don’t want to bash the kid but this team is going to be much better when Onyema is playing sparingly as a 3rd big behind Shedrick/Disu.

All the dude does is foul and run around aimlessly.

RT also needs to blow out teams before he starts experimenting. 

Texas State went on that run when we were up 22 with RT playing a horrendous offensive lineup including Weaver, Johnson, Mitchell, and Shedrick together. 1 shooter on the court. 

Once you let teams think they have a chance the game flips. 

[ryskey 447]

Weird

First 8 minutes and last 11 minutes UT 53 - Tx St 12

 

Middle 21 minutes Tx St 46 - UT 24

The run to start the 2nd half was weird for Texas State but the 1st half was all our doing with RT's lineup. I think he got up 22 and thought he could just start playing everybody. 

[ClubWhatever 12,120]

I think a 9-9 conference season and a first round exit is gonna be about it for this team, Disu or no Disu. 

[Degenerate Gardner 4,085]

That was messed up but I still enjoyed it.  Basketball on November 30 is a learning experience.

I'll take that bet. The Big 12 is really good at the top again but I don't think it's great at the bottom. 

K-State, Texas Tech, UCF, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, and Iowa State all look like they have some major issues. 

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

This is a weird year for the Big 12. Normally, it's the depth that makes it an insane conference. 

I think this year there are more elite teams but there are also 6 or 7 teams that might not make the tournament. 

[Hookem2147 21,188]

It’s impossible and silly to try to predict the future for this team right now. More often than not March comes down to guard play, interior defense and how favorable of a draw you get style wise. We are missing a player who is pretty damn important of the middle part of that equation.
