+8 seems high.

I'm not buying BYU is that good.

Then again, I don't think we're quite as good as the OU game indicated.

Js1 · January 27

Yeah well OU sucks so that explains that part

+8 is too high but if BYU shoots well from 3 they could win by 30. Would not bet this game.

We did also beat Baylor.

They haven't shot that great in Big 12 play. We aren't a great 3 point defense, but that was before Weaver started getting more playing time.

MotownHorn · January 27

I will for sure take the points and am tempted to take the ML on this one

It'd be a great W

Baylor was overrated and that was at home.

realgreggym · January 27

We played there one year. In prehistoric times, the Marriott Center was the largest gym in the country

seating about 20k. The benches were below the court and the gym was one level sloping

slowly away from the court. There were about 13k in attendance and it was relatively quiet

because of the gym's configuration. Supposedly tomorrow is a sellout so it will be loud.

Brian Fantana · January 27

They run a really cool offense with a number of advanced actions/sets. Really sucks when it's working at 100% efficiency and they score 48 on you in the first half.

Horn80 · January 27

With Mitchell, Weaver and Hunter playing great and Disu being outstanding, I like our chances to win.

txhorns · January 27

We will win by 8.

VinyVango · January 27

BYU's fate will rest with their 3 point shooting (and our 3 point D)... they jack up a crazy amount of 3's. On average, I think their players are a little slower and a little less athletic across the board. They are probably more technically sound.

shadow_operative · January 27

historically this type of game involves the home team cougars going on some sort of first half 10-0, 12-2 type run in 2:00 of game time, with the outcome of the game dependent on how we respond. as show by the chart that i posted in the season thread, Texas is one of the most volatile teams in the country, prone to both giving up as well as going on 10+ point streaks. as long as we respond to any early scoring barrage they give us, i tend to think that we’ll cover the spread and be playing with a chance to win late. that said, this feels to me like it’s either a nail biter or a blow out. bout to find out.

Hookem2147 · January 27

This feels like a letdown spot after two big wins and Houston coming to town Monday. But I’ve been wrong before.

Js1 · January 27

100% depends on what team shows up. The team from the last 2 games or the team from the first 4 Big 12 games.

Braff Zacklin · January 27

Fuck Bay- ... oops. Sorry. Habit.

Fuck BYU.

Are you suggesting they are more like coaches out there on the court? The scrappy gym rat/lunch pail type of athletes?

Pancho · January 27

They’re heady

MotownHorn · January 27

Don't forget that they have high motors too

ClubWhatever · January 27

What a choke job by Florida

jimmyjazz · January 27

Of course it's OT. Fucking Florida.

I took Ga +8. That bet looked like shit the entire game. They were down 21 with like 12 minutes to go. Gators will probably win by 9 in OT.

Why is Disu guarding that mongoloid 30 feet from the basket

A’Dam Psycho · January 27

A bunch of unathletic scrappy white kids…we’re fucked

MotownHorn · January 27

30 is pushing our guys in the back on every rebound

Stringer · January 27

Everything at the rim for them. Need to be better there.

Rudiger · January 27

Second push in the back when we’re trying to rebound.

That's not very PC of you, bro. This is a wholesome, family friendly environment so maybe you should cut it the fuck out and take your ass to church in the morning and repent for your sins.

Killing it from three. Disu, Hunter Horton

Thank God. Because it’s a layup fest on the other end.

Exactly with no calls.

Also looks like we're taking away the 3 as best we can and they are attacking inside

LonghornSean · January 27

Offense looking good but some easy ones given up on D

jimmyjazz · January 27

We'll get addicted to the 3, start to fade, and these fuckers will close the gap.

Hookem2147 · January 27

I can already tell this is not going to be a Shedrick game

jeevsie · January 27

Weird sign in the stands - “Soak You!”

Good idea, but shedrick not on the same page.

perfectchaos007 · January 27

This fast pace scoring benefits BYU in the long run.

Dahobbs · January 27

So... We going to force BYU to do anything but layups?

texastroubadour · January 27

They look like they’re 32 years old

VinyVango · January 27

Good idea, but shedrick not on the same page.

Not to mention he’s hobbled by the back and doesn’t seem to have the spring or speed he’s had early in the season

Horn80 · January 27

Horton, Horton, the turnover machine!

Turnovers and then turnovers. Not turnovers. Turnovers.
