[chase25 2048]

We are the Kansas State of UNC basketball

[4Pete 156]

What a game!  Lotta heart out there tonight.

Now about to see Tucker nail that kick in Gomerland.  Great day for Longhorn sports.

[Wishbone 4762]

Big stage tonight. Big win. Big exposure for the program. It was big.

Roach was high all night.  Above the rim and stuff.

Imagine a Shaka Smart-coached team at VCU, but with a little less pressing and more talented players.

It’s incredible.  I believe UNC holds the edge on several Blue bloods but Texas has their number. 

Texas is also 8-1 against Bama in football

[Agent47 157]

Yeah. We're awesome in sports again! Top 10ish in fuckin everything again.

That's about like me whining that K State working us in football so often is "unexplainable." There's generally an explanation for that kind of dominance. Losing 8 of 9 isn't some fluky thing where the losing team always has an outbreak of food poisoning the night before.

I'm sure not saying we kick NC's tail around the gym when we play them, because they're pretty much always nailbiters. But we've had some really lackluster teams in that period, and we've still managed to keep winning those games. Methinks the press can just deal with it.

Hahahahaha unc

[Agent47 157]

Baseball -- CWS

Women's hoops (top 10ish)

Texas hoops (just beat a final 4ish team)

It's not fluky. Matchups matter. We almost always match up well against Roy Williams-coached teams.

We did. His predecessor hired all those coaches.

[Agent47 157]

I know, I was kidding. Anyway -- Texas sports is experiencing a surge. Back to the mid 2000s ?? Why not.

we think that pull up jumpers are tough shots because it's been so long since we've had anybody who could hit  one. the shots UNC has hit have been "tough" the same way that a 3B turning a 5-4-3 DP vs Mookie Betts is tough; yeah, it isn't easy, but you're expected to do it as a baseball/basketball player. Unless you're Texas. 

I’d say turning a double play on Mookie is quite a bit harder, even when adjusting expectations between a collegiate player versus a professional. 

[NowThis 931]

shaping up to be a spectacular sports weekend 

[Skipper 6135]

Hell of a job horns.  That was an awesome game.  Roach played out of his mind. Keep it up.   Bout to turn me into a believer!  Regardless that game will be worth a seed or 2 come March.

[chemHORN 1239]

I'm in the arena and that was a great team win. Carolina fans sitting next to me were not happy. If we can get that Roach every game we will be hard to beat.  Looking forward to the game tomorrow.  

[txhorns 2409]

I think Febres is getting overlooked some.  The guy is playing some really good basketball.  With him hitting his shots this year it is really starting to help open up the floor for Roach and Coleman.

Kerwin was the best player on the court, and it wasn't close.

This was, of course, exactly the result I expected after going down 17-4.

[VaLonghorn99 341]

Great win. UNC probably doesn’t want to schedule us anymore LOL. Good luck to the Horns. Great start.

Goddamn Kerwin was on another level tonight. I’m happily eating crow - I never thought he’d really be able to put it together like this. The kid has clearly worked his ass off after investigating his draft prospects.

No excuses, but K-state didn't have to play us in '03,'04,'07,'08... Good job on scheduling by them. Bad job by CU.

If the NCAA were smart Roach would be the most hyped player going forward. A Sr who has truly improved leaps and bounds each season

[runthebone 7990]

Unexplainable, Brian Rauf?

We own 'em

UCLA is getting blasted by MSU tonight. Looks almost certain we'll see the Spartans tomorrow.

Where does that performance by Roach rank all-time on individual performances? Ford, J'Covan Brown, KD, and Jordan Hamilton all had some good ones.

J’Covan’s performance at Allen Fieldhouse in ‘11 is probably the best in a big win in recent memory, but this game by Roach is up there as well.

No clue how they are ranked #17. That was a joke even before I saw this game based on how they've looked against Presbyterian, St Francis and LBSU.

Sparty, on the other hand, looks pretty stout. Guess we'll find out.

Sounds like the Brando I was listening to on Sirius was the actual tv okay by play.

Christ he was horrible

[texasstrong12 4668]

Michigan State is big, physical, smart and can shoot. I think our athleticism will give them issues though. 

The key will be dictating pace. Gotta make this an up and down game.

That's always been the key.

The reason we are successful against UNC is that they dictate pace for us, and it works to our advantage.

It was close. Coby White was awesome, and the battle they had was epic. TJ Ford vs Nick Collison; TJ Ford vs Hollis Price; KD vs Acie Law; J'Covan Brown vs Willie Warren; Kerwin Roach vs Coby White. It was that good.
