I have very low expectations because there will be no half court offense under Shaka. Confirmation bias tells me Shaka will not run havoc as he should to use his athletes to play a more open style. This game is just another in a long line of evidence to say Shaka is over his head. That FT shooting still sucks shouldn't be a huge surprise either.

Damn, I thought I was a pessimistic bastard.

8-25, 11-20. Still can't shoot. Last year we won our first game 105-59. This is going to be a long season.

Well it's definitely going to be long for you. :lol

 

Cheer up, bud.

Thanks for all you contribute to this board.

Fuck you whining pussies complaining about the opening game. We know we dont elite talent this year, so pump your brakes in Final Four expectations. 

Enjoy that AJ is back and playing ball. Pissed I missed his debut back.

Going into the season, I’d been out of the loop and hadn’t paid much attention to the team. But there’s a lot to look forward to this year: mitrou-long and Hayes balled out last night. Heap has skills and febres looks like he’ll be at home in the corner.  Plus AJ’s back, and that’s all kinds of awesome. 

This could be Shaka’s most complete team at Texas. It should be a fun season.

Un-de-FEAT-ed, baby!!!!

You can take anything you like from last night's game, good or bad. You probably shouldn't, though.

Interesting part of the new NET metric in basketball is there is a 10 point cap on victories. A 10 point win is viewed the same as a 30 point win. 

This should incentivize coaches (like Shaka) to play more young guys when they get big leads.

Long looks like a great wild card for the team. He single handily went on a 10 - 0 run in the first half when we were down 2 (7 pts and assist to Coleman +1 on the break). We never trailed again. 

Sucks to think how much he could have helped this team last season.
