At least he's driving today. In the 2 previous games he hasn't been very aggressive. 

It was better, but then he took another long jumper at the very end that wasn't even close.

Tevin Mack (although he's shooting like shit right now) and a healthy Andrew Jones makes this roster much more sustainable wrt shooting.  Right now Roach is doing way too much in terms of shooting off the dribble.  

because there is no offensive plan.

This is ultimately why I believe Shaka will get another year barring a catastrophe on par with year 2.

Sorry, I thought you were being one of us “typical Texas fans” who shit on the present in hopes of the future.  I mean DO is the top performer so far.  

DO does have the points but at 6'9 he should in this game with all the putbacks he should get from our guards.  Throwing the ball straight out of bounds was stupid though. I just want to see someone on the floor that can make a shot from more than 2 inches away from the rim.

I don't think Shaka and crew do a very good job of evaluating guard play.  For the system he wants to run the PGs/Gs need to be multifaceted, more in the Long/Ramey mold rather than the Jacob Young/Febres or Coleman mold. Young and Febrese are basically standstill shooters and Coleman will never be nothing more than a below average shooter while he's year.  Jones is obviously a take on every day that ends in Y, but you seriously can't take guards who aren't adequately skilled in every aspect of offensive basketball unless you have a roster littered with those who are.  Especially not in this read and react style he loves so much.  Think of all the teams who run this open floor, 4 man out offense. KU ran it last year (despite Self preference of a high low/2 post offense),  Michigan runs it,  Villanova, Gonzaga etc. Their guards don't necessarily have to be elite athletes,  but they damn sure have to be skilled in every aspect of offensive basketball.

I think Ramey and Long can actually shoot,  but having the rest of the roster sans shooters (Jones notwithstanding)  makes for poor spacing and out of rhythm shots. All this stuff works in conjunction. It's like having a collection of dancers dancing to different  types of music.

OK one guy.  my only hope is Ramey and Long surprise.

My only point is we should wait until after Vegas to make broad seasonal statements.

Hope to see the Ramey-to-Hayes connection a lot more.

I believe Coleman and Sims are starting to feel the heat. The ,uh oh I'm about to lose my job, heat

Like listening to a woman drivel on about some nonsense, I was just to tuning it out

We’re conditioned.

I was wondering what we would do defensively against a team like this. I worried that our bigs would have issues hedging the 3 and switching on the perimeter. 

But Sims and Hayes are athletic freaks. They can guard on the perimeter. 

Hepa is more athletic than I was expecting too.
