NC State is currently 5-2 and 71st in Kenpom. Texas is 6-1 and 34th. But we’re at their place.

Holy shit Trey

[Pancho 46031]

TRE!

 

Very quick 6-0 start for Texas

[BigTEAMLittleme 257]

Nice start!

[texifornia 58748]

Fun game

[kingkoopa6 8593]

YOUR SOUL IS MINE

[LTtxfan 49901]

Damn...  9-0 start for Texas!!! 🤘

[VinyVango 707]

Gotta keep Shedrick off the perimeter on defense … we get killed when he’s flailing around out there

[Hookem2147 21926]

First time we’ve seen Kaluma hero ball in a while

Yeah, he's pressing a little bit instead of letting the offensive opportunities come to him...

[Rickylovesweed 15305]

I'm all for Onyema getting more minutes if he can just prove that's he capable of moving on the perimeter on the defensive end. That's all we need out of him. 

 

[Blotto 23974]

Nobody can fuck with this team when Rodney and the boys are wearing those ugly coaching shirts. They gotta keep wearing them til we lose. Fuck, I may get one. 

[BigOrange1 6604]

awesome play by Weaver there.

[Rickylovesweed 15305]

Weaver is such a menace. 

[Rickylovesweed 15305]

We settle for too many 3s at times. Get to the rim. 

[kingkoopa6 8593]

Weaver tho

[BigTEAMLittleme 257]

Sure would be nice if we worked for some better shots. We seem to have several guys playing one on one tonight.

[Hookem2147 21926]

Can we get these rims checked?

[MotownHorn 1883]

Our offensive rebounding is even worse than the coaching staffs shirts 

[BigTEAMLittleme 257]

Good grief what is Shedrick doing out on the point?

This is his problem. He gets switched and caught in no-man's land the entire night.

[Rickylovesweed 15305]

Larry is a damn good PG.

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Looks like another exciting season of seeing how many wins Weaver can will us to while nearly everyone else watches.  

[mrhorn 1429]

Interior D has disappeared. Nobody is sliding over to help

[BigTEAMLittleme 257]

I get so frustrated watching this offense. Half the time they run really good plays and the other half they’re just jacking it up with no footwork whatsoever. It’s the “tryin’ one” offense. 

[Rickylovesweed 15305]

RT got tired of Shedricks perimeter D. Playing Codie and Kaluma in the front court now. 

[Rickylovesweed 15305]

Here comes Tre. 

[Revolution512 1512]

33-31 Horns for those that care about a score

[Pancho 46031]

terrible last second play.

[Hookem2147 21926]

Yeah let’s not inbound to Onyema in that situation.

Like ever.

[perfectchaos007 6766]

This is not good basketball, by either team

[mrhorn 1429]

Umm.

that was one of the worst plays I’ve seen in a decade. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4877]

Excellent final play of the half.  Did someone hide RT’s crayons?

[ztejas 44114]

Do we have one fucking player on the team that can beat a full court press?

[Hookem2147 21926]

I’m assuming Onyema was supposed to pass back to the inbounder going downhill but his controller died mid play 

[mrhorn 1429]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that watching, playing or coaching basketball. Ever.

[KingBobo81 546]

These look like two teams that will be playing in the NIT

[Rickylovesweed 15305]

Kaluma taking some bad shots but he's doing work on the boards tonight. 

[Firemans4Horn 18496]

Let’s score some easy buckets. 
 

nope, turn around fadeaway from a bad angle.

If these guys don’t start playing more as a team, the SEC is gonna be brutal
