Texas vs St.Joseph’s, UKG Legends Classic, 8pm on ESPNU

[ztejas 43449]

I'll take a lead. 

[Rickylovesweed 14316]

Actually surprised we survived there with Weaver and Shedrick in foul trouble. 

[Gut Wagon 8071]

The last time I saw a Texas team with an offense this bad, our coach was...Rodney Terry.

[Hookem2147 21284]

What we are asking Jordan Pope to do on this team is very similar to what we asked Marcus Carr to do in 2021. Two shooting guards we are asking to play PG and the early results show that.

This is like watching an AAU team. What's really frustrating is there is a ton of individual talent here, but Terry and co. are absolutely fucking clueless. A real coach would pull Tre Johnson and have a stern conversation about shot selection. 

AAU teams have better coaching. I’m not kidding. 

[troph 24798]

Oof, Tennessee is up 27 on Baylor at the half. 47 - 20.

If you are referring to last year, we surprisingly had one of the best seasons in school history when it comes to FG%, 3P% and FT%.

I agree the overall flow isn’t what you would want to see. Maybe those numbers reflect the individual talent.

I described it as the shitty coachless summer league teams. Just jacking shots and fucking around on defense.

Baylor looks like they've taken a step back this year.

Got worked by Gonzaga and should have lost to St Johns last night.

It seems like ugly offense has become the identity of Texas basketball, going all the way back to the tail end of the Barnes era. When I watch  squads that are well coached and have a system they execute without  fail, it seems like a different sport.

The difference is Carr could actually do it

Things have changed considerably since my high school ball. I played with Mihm and Axtell. Back then, it was truly summer league. Chico was on my team. Now, travel ball is significantly better coached and more competitive than school ball.

Vertical stripes are slimming. The horizontal ones like they have make you look fatter

Does Carr have any eligibility left?

He was not good at initiating the offense and doing PG stuff pretty much that whole first season. 

Once we brought in Hunter and he got to play off the ball more it helped him a ton.

Not that year he couldn't. The next year he was a fuckin stud.

[Hermanator 7050]

Surely CDC can see the difference between this and what top level coaches do. 

RT is like Tosh Lupoi. Get him on your staff to recruit but never make him the coach.

Right so what we are watching is not the latter it’s the former.  Just chaotic trash ball. Plenty of talent and frankly if they ran the offense maybe tre wouldn’t one on one his way to a shitty shot time he gets the ball.

I really preferred Beard’s motion offense to this. We took much better shots.

[ztejas 43449]

Someone go kick Shedrick in the balls.

[troph 24798]

Jack a 3 and NO ONE gets in position to grab the rebound. Wtf!?

What the announcer just said about Weaver is what I think. We’re just overall better when he’s playing. His hustle inspires everyone.

Go kick him in the balls again.

[Rickylovesweed 14316]

Shedrick is so bad.

Yes he’s very weak. 
 

more of a finesse big man. Feel like we have to many finesse players and not enough Kendall Weavers 

[LonghornSean 3998]

If we’re relying on Shedrick for any significant contribution on offense, we’re fucked

[Rickylovesweed 14316]

At some point you have to sit Tre. 

[troph 24798]

Shedrick gets punked then misses a finesse put back that should be a power dunk. These little 4,5 point swings are just maddening.

He's so fucking soft. He plays like one  of those kids that is on the court because he's freakishly tall, but never really embraced the sport, and would rather be playing pokeman.

[BigTEAMLittleme 213]

… and of course the minute I speak up about how Weaver makes them all play better RT sits him. 🤦

[Mo Horn 8842]

Over 4 minutes and we've scored a whopping 2 points. JFC. 

[MirrOlure 14774]

This sport is on the edge of being unwatchable.

I devoured NBA and NCAA hoops in the 80’s and early 90’s.

Currently….puke

[ballrific 215]

look like a poorly coached team, last night as well. We need an OC to help Terry. A good one

[VinyVango 694]

This is a team that looks like 17-18 wins is its ceiling … lotta work to do …
Johnson developing some bad habits already that need to be aggressively purged by Terry … we need someone other that weaver to show some dog in the paint

[dcar00 14210]

man.  it could be real ugly this year.  Terry's no offense offense means Johnson and Mark are just going to hero ball it.

[Rickylovesweed 14316]

Keep Larry on the court. 

[ztejas 43449]

Shedrick reminds me of Tre Mitchell.

Or just a new coach and Terry can stay and be a recruiter

That would be good but everyone has the green light to drive when you have no offense.

[UTexasFight 9450]

I was just given sweet tickets for December 8.

I think I want to give them back 

 

…but at least I’ll get to see what a national champion offense looks like

Edited 8 hours ago by UTexasFight

[ClubWhatever 12144]

Our offense is maximum degree of difficulty shot generating machine
