Texas vs Ohio State- Monday, 11/4, 9pm on TNT

[dcar00 13962]

sheesh.  this season is gonna be brutal.

[tx 3 putt 75625]

not a foul 

[D3zii 3622]

wtf is Shedric doing. Protect the rim dawg. 
Bradshaw ain’t gone shoot shit 

[D3zii 3622]

lol Johnson runs like he’s never played basketball a day in his life 

[Mo Horn 8731]

Yea, Shedrick for 3 probably wasn't the best option

[AbeFroman 2052]

nobody is attacking the rim in transition

[kingkoopa6 8279]

played better when we weren’t jacking up 3s and actually played ball 

[dcar00 13962]

ohio state guards look like the guards baylor always has  thick, can bang in the lane and can shoot.  we always have weak shit that can't get into the lane at all.

[ClubWhatever 12072]

Sad, but with one exception they have better players across the board.   Play them 10 times we lose 8.

[D3zii 3622]

So I guess if Johnson doesn’t shoot we have no one on offense . Smh 

[SameSame 1676]

And we thought we had a chance, silly us.

[perfectchaos007 6544]

TNT extends their commercial breaks into gameplay. Cool

[dcar00 13962]

19 is laughable....

[D3zii 3622]

Why were we ranked to begin with sheesh smh 

[LonghornSean 3917]

See y’all at Moody Friday, but oof, that was a tough start.

[dcar00 13962]

BS. same thing happened early on the other end with no call.

[Ghost of Shag 2555]

We might could win the award for worst combined set of haircuts on a team.

[Hookem2147 20851]

The decision to roll into the season with Shedrick and Onyema as our big men was a choice

[Valmy77 12820]

It is impressive that we somehow managed to be down by 10 the entire game.

[SameSame 1676]

Never had the lead, and really never close.  Pretty much an ass kicking.

[dcar00 13962]

Could easily see 5 losses OOC.

[perfectchaos007 6544]

Wire to Wire loss for Texas to set the tone for the season. 

[kingkoopa6 8279]

My bad. Juju on me for gettin confident 

[Ghost of Shag 2555]

Shoot threes less.

[ATXbronco 4007]

Ohio State won't always shoot like that

And neither will we

 

And holy cow Tre... someone to be excited about for this season!

 

[dcar00 13962]

We just had to hire Rodney Terry...I hope it was worth it to get Tre Johnson.

[D3zii 3622]

Terry better get it turned around 

[MrX 693]

Rodney Terry I want my money back

[The Longest Horn 138]

7-28 from three but somehow felt worse.

[DigDug 1644]

If we get a little better, we could make a run at the NIT

[tx 3 putt 75625]

shooting was ice cold

Cuz it was 2-18 without Tres

[BillyBadAss 189]

29 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 assists. 50% shooting. Not bad for an 18 yo in his first college BB game against a good opponent.

Tre Johnson FG 9/19 (47%), 3Pt 5/10 (50%)

Rest of team FG 13/45 (28%), 3Pt 2/17 (11%)

[ATXbronco 4007]

How did you guys feel about Tre's defense?

[perfectchaos007 6544]

I would have felt better if it were a back and forth contest that we just fell short in, but we were dominated for 40 minutes in a game we never led or even tied up after 0-0. Ohio State is just as young and transfer heavy as we are, and they outplayed and outcoached Texas. Our bigs won't be able to contribute much on offense so we'll lean on Tre most games until teams start doubling him and then we're super fucked.

For a guy who is obviously offense first and a true freshman, he actually tries pretty hard on the defensive end.

Onyema shouldn't have even been on a D1 roster last year. And the fact we not only brought him back but gave him minutes tonight gives me deep deep concern.

Mark can score the ball.   That will help.  

[Bert Orange 1105]

[Hookem2147 20851]

This team is definitely better 1 through 16 than last year but my fear is we collected a bunch of individual talent instead of assembling a roster. Are a bunch of 22 and 23 year olds going to defer to Tre Johnson all year or will we see too much hero ball at the worst times? 

We’ll see. 1 game sample size applies and Tramon Mark will help quite a bit.

[Gut Wagon 8039]

Positionless basketball might be the future, but nostalgic me will always want an actual point guard. Without one...well, you see the result. Johnson is absolutely the truth, but we have to take the pressure off him to do everything. That task falls on multiple guys, starting with the HC.

Our bigs did a little banging, but they're so deficient in actual skills that it didn't matter. Sure looks like a roster of JAGs and one monster talent. Hopefully Mark makes a positive difference...but if tonight is who we really are, we'll overachieve to win 18 games and get a 9 seed.

So far,  I see a mediocre team.  

Close your eyes.

How long does Terry have left on his contract?

yeah, again no shooters except for our 1 and done NBA sure thing.  ugh. better teams will make Johnson's life miserable. CDC better be ready.

we’ll get a 7-10 seed, get hot (led by Tre), go to the S16 or E8, and he’ll be safe for another two years.

God, I wish.  I'd take that right now.

[dcar00 13962]

Johnson  29/5/4  2 stl and a block.  as advertised.

[AbeFroman 2052]

I think the most disheartening part of this is realizing we just don't have the players.    And now we're all waiting on a guy who is in a walking boot to pop out of it completely healthy and be instant offense.  Oy vey
