Guess I got to start the game thread

[ClubWhatever 12159]

Shedrick was fouled two possessions ina row and no call

[ClubWhatever 12159]

Wow 

[Macklemore 2881]

Nice start 

[Degenerate Gardner 4104]

Good god is Brock doing work out there. 3s, drawing offensive fouls, assists, boards, and all before the 1st timeout.

[Horn80 6240]

Texas looks like a different team so far with more energy from everyone. 

[mdmost 43294]

Glad Disu is back out there. 

[Hank Scorpio 17731]

I’d shit my pants if I had to play basketball after eating Halal Guys. 

[LonghornSean 4036]

You had one job, beverage lady

[Macklemore 2881]

Pretty good get for Halal Guys to get UT, LSU, Cougar High and aggy to all play in Htown. 

[ztejas 43741]

Lol. Turn the game on, LSU player steps out of bounds, uncalled, guy doing color already sounds like a fucking douche.

College basketball!

[ClubWhatever 12159]

Not goaltending 

[Horn80 6240]

LSU coach needs to get the fuck off the court during play.

[kingkoopa6 8466]

Damn. He hit a slo mo and 1

[ztejas 43741]

And that isn't a goaltend. Good Lord. Did they find these guys under an overpass somewhere before the game?

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Missed calls all over the place. 

LSU player stepped out of bounds and that wasn't goaltending on Mitchell either. I guess just give LSU a free 4 points.

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Well nevermind, from that angle you could see the ball touched the back board before the block. 

[ClubWhatever 12159]

Ok it was goal tending   Hit it after bounced off glass  

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Disu and Shedrick playing together. 

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

I don't know why people have been critical of Abmas recently. Dude is playing really well. 

What we need is Horton and Hunter to join him. 

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Well if you were wondering if the Disu and Shedirck lineup would work a quick 4-0 run. 

[ClubWhatever 12159]

We look a lot better when the other team isn't very good

Ugly airball

[Hookem2147 21422]

Hopefully Cook gets to play the rest of the season because LSU is a completely different team with him and might actually win some SEC games.

Yup, they go from a bad P5 team to probably an average P5 team with Cook. 

Of course his 1st game back is against Texas.

Sounds like the NCAA won’t punish players who play during the TRO. It’s been extended through the spring semester to avoid punishing student athletes 

[TexArcher 38408]

How will Texas be able to compete in the S-E-C, tho???

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Maybe our best half of basketball all season so far. 

[ztejas 43741]

LSU not exactly playing lockdown D out here.

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Our offense flows much better when the ball is in Abmas hands instead of Hunter. 

 

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Horton is almost unplayable because of his lack of defense. 

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Hunter with a wide open 3 off creation from Abmas. 

Offense so much better with Abmas dictating things. 

[TexArcher 38408]

Yeah, but he makes up for it by being almost a 40% career shooter.

[RichUT 1873]

Dean has a super punchable face.

[Degenerate Gardner 4104]

Disu is huffing and puffing like you’d expect, but doesn’t look as rusty as I’d feared he might be.

Horton came in twice this game and was quickly yanked because guards blew right by him. I just don't think he's going to get many minutes moving forward. 

It's going to be Abmas, Hunter, and Weaver's defense/energy off the bench. 

[TexArcher 38408]

This is good.  My gruntled level is up.

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Two thoughts. 

1) Let Abmas run point. Hunter needs to play off ball. Abmas is a substantially better playmaker/scorer with the ball in his hands. 

2) Keep Horton on the bench if we're scoring. He doesn't play a lick of defense. If we're scoring just prioritize the defensive end with Weaver. 

[Hookem2147 21422]

I loved the way the schedule lined up the next two weeks. We last played a week ago and won’t play again til Friday. Tons of practice time.

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

Like I've been saying, Abmas best skill set is PnR. 

When Disu and Abmas get a rhythm together, they are going to cook in PnR. Disu missed a couple open looks that half that he will eventually hit in PnR.

High PnR should be our primary offensive set now that Disu is back

[Js1 85744]

Ho hum, 60.6% shooting and 6-9 from deep. And 77% at the line

[ztejas 43741]

I think we should fire Terry at half. He's obviously not the guy. 

[Macklemore 2881]

Where’s Derka?

He has to force in the letters S-E-C into every utterance out of his mouth.  I didn't realize ESPN's brand management work for the SEC extended into other sports outside of football. 

[MrX 744]

Disu back and a tighter leash on the guard rotations and we look solid. Who’d have thought.

Boycotting due to the event’s refusal to sell non halal Derka dogs?

 

Probably not though. Hope he’s ok.

Hes at the game. No service prolly 

[Rickylovesweed 14827]

This team can be good if we can get another guard to join Abmas. 

We need Hunter to keep playing like this.
