Texas vs Texas State- 8pm on LHN

[Deej 76750]

That lull in the middle of the game was my fault. First time in the arena. My natural magnetism and irresistible charm threw them of their game for a bit.

The line on this one was Texas -19.5 and the O/U was 135.5. How do they do it? That's insane

RT is trying to get Chris Johnson some minutes but that has to stop. He's not ready. 

4 minutes vs Texas State (-10)

5 minutes vs Wyoming (-1)

3:30 minutes vs UCONN (-2)

He's coming in for short stretches and it's obvious that RT recognizes he's killing the team. I don't mind him getting 4 to 5 minutes against these G5 teams but he can't play moving forward.

It was 25-4 when LHN flipped over after the volleyball game.

i’m watching on the dvr right now, and i’m in disbelief at how we’ve played considering what the score was when the game came on.

holy shit what a finish by abmas!!

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Abmas with 26 and 23 points with 9 assists in the last 2 games. By far his best 2 games so far offensively.

He can get his shot off clean against these low level teams. They're the same teams he was torching at ORU. We need to see if he can consistently do it against power 5 level teams who are scouting and prepared for him.

It’s obviously still early, but I’ve been super impressed with Mitchell and Shedrick on the boards. Our rebound rate right now is 81st nationally which seems meh but we were close to 200th last year.

You mean when the lights come on?

We also aren’t scoring in the 80s on offense when our guards are Abmas, Hunter, Horton, and Weaver. 

We've scored in the 80s in 5 out of our 7 games and the other two games were 71 and 77.

Until Disu gets into the rotation with his usual minutes, its hard for me to get too worked at this point. We have enough talent on this team to compete with anyone,  but we also do a lot of stupid shit. Stupid shit can get fixed. Its early, but this team (in particular guys like Shedrick and Horton) has actually exceeded my expectations. If DIsu is fully healthy in the back half of the  season, I think we're gonna be a handful. They play hard.

The reason Abmas has gone off in the last 2 games is because they're finally running more action with him instead of ISO ball. He's not a 1 v 1 player. He's best utilized in PnR.

Last night was the most PnR we've run all season with Shedrick and Shedrick isn't even good in that action. But it opens up Abmas and will get much better with Disu. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Our half court offense actually looked a lot different last night. 

Most of the PnR we've been running has been with Brock as the screener. Last night they had him playing off-ball with Shedrick as the screener. I think that's partly why Brock struggled because it was a completely different role. 

I think this is a sign Disu is about to return because they're transitioning to Brock playing more off-ball with our big in that action. When Disu does return, Shedrick just needs to stay on the low block.
