It's rarely about hustle with this team.  They just play stupid and a lot of them just aren't very good.  We are relying on a guy like Larry to create and score.  Shedrick plays hard but just gets bullied night after night.

You're not wrong, those flaws are plain as day.  

My point is we also have no urgency and teams can out play us in cruise control 

 

All of which falls on the coach of course

I don't recall a harder texas team to watch.  Even Shaka teams were far easier to root for.

What’s the deal with this court? Why are the cheerleaders on the sidelines and the benches on the baselines?

It's an elevated court and the orientation of the gym is weird. Memorial Gymnasium is a very old building and they've just retrofitted it as best as possible. It's just the solution they came up with given the odd dimensions to work with. However, it was a fun place to watch games as a grad student. There's an entire student section that's under this weird overhang. The sound just sits there. Makes for an interesting and exciting in-person experience. Honestly, the entire layout of their athletic facilities has become an interesting sight as they've expanded. For example, they've connected the facades of their baseball stadium and football stadium, as well as the baseball stadium and Memorial Gymnasium, as the venues have expanded. They have a mini-monster in L field of Hawkins Field because it butts up with Memorial.

TL;DR - It's old AF and very space constrained. As it has been expanded, it just became more unique.

These threads always amuse me.

Players suck, coach can't coach...

Players are balling! I can't believe it.

I think that is every basketball game ever. 

I watched my son's jv game last night... Team up by 14 at half... Blew it because there was a lid on the basket in 2nd half (made me think something was off with that goal, because neither team could score on it.)

I thought about this forum and what the reaction would be... Coach would be fired (she got a tech during Q4) and the best players would be dogs for missing everything from layups to free throws.

Won by 2 in OT. Fire everyone.

i’m very much enjoying this game. both teams are really going at it, and unlike the arkansas game our guys are giving just as much as they’re getting. this is the version of the team that we need to see consistently in order for RT to save his job. if we could play with this aggression and confidence (and again, not to mention swagger) every game out then i don’t think anyone here would have a problem retaining RT. it’s when you have one game like this and then a brain dead, spiritless performance like the one against arkansas that you’re too inconsistent to be kept on. 

but fuck it, we’re playing this way today, so let’s get this win! 🤘🏼

I’ve got two little kids running around. I’m not paying a lot of attention to the commentators yapping if that’s what you mean 

 

He meant Vanderbilt has had this court for decades and it’s unclear why you’re questioning their court setup in the year of our Lord, 2025, when this has been the case for Vanderbilt for forever.

Sounds like you need to fire your son if he blew a 14-point lead. Just my opinion, though.

The ball needs to be in Tre's hands because they're  over-helping when they don't lose him. Other guys are getting wide open when they hedge 2 or 3 guys at him. 

100% this

You don’t have to have played Vanderbilt to know that their court is this way.
