Missouri at Texas - 8 PM on SEC Network

Tonight is a must win for RT and the boys. ESPN gives us a 71% chance of victory. The line is Texas -2.5 and the OU is 147.5.

I'll go with Texas -2.5 and under.

Personally I'm headed out to see Del McCroury tonight so I'll miss most of the game but the simplest way to put it is if we lose this one we're really fucked

Missouri has really turned things around from a disastrous season last year. The Tigers were 8-24 for the season with a perfect record for futility in the SEC of 0-18. They ended last season on a 19-game losing streak.

This season under head coach Dennis Gates, in his third season, they are 15-3, with a 4-1 record in the SEC, with the only loss to #1 Auburn. They have wins over then #1 ranked Kansas and a recent road win over #5 Florida.

Two teams going in opposite directions. Missouri seems the better team, but Texas outside of the Connecticut loss has played well at home.

Looks like another game that could go down to the wire, which Texas hasn't handled that scenario well, except holding off OU after blowing a big lead.

It's a must win for Texas and Terry to have any chance of making the NCAA Tourney.

Hard to call, looks like a tossup. It depends on Texas shooting well and having one or more of their scoring threats go off and turnovers. Can't see the Horns winning on the boards or suddenly becoming good on defense.

Yeah this one kind of feels like the season after being unable to steal any of the four big ones we just played. W could potentially get them back on track - L here and you start looking at a huge streak needed at some point to sneak in the dance.

It's REALLY hard to fight the "The last thing we need is to stumble backwards into the tournament at 7-11 in conference, perhaps giving Terry another year" feeling. Really hard. 

 

Meh. You may be right but RT is still easy for me to root for. They just went through a brutal stretch and while they didn't look good during it It's still too early in the season for me to think it's best they lose games.

It's looking like it's time to move on but cbb can be extremely streaky and I don't think this roster totally sucks. If RT isn't the guy the results will bear themselves out. 

We'll see what they do tonight. Get a W here and the next 5 are all very winnable, too.

… and all along we misguidedly thought Craig Way was the voice of Texas athletics.  Yet, Galindo keeps popping up everywhere.

Texas doesn’t choose him, ESPN does.

I almost picked up a cheap as shit ticket for the game this afternoon. then I remembered we suck ass. Its a shame I missed witnessing this offensive explosion in person. we're on pace for almost 7 points this game.

That isn't a goaltend.

Every season I forget how awful college basketball refs are and every season I'm amazed by it.

Needs to be reviewed at the under 12

In related news … a brick structure of unknown origin was discovered in the Oak Island swamp.

Sounds like 5 more seasons.

 

You know - these guys don't exactly suck. Pope especially has flashed a lot lately. Just not sure with all of the injuries and newness they can develop enough chemistry and figure the rotations out before the season is tanked.
