Game 8: Texas vs. VCU, 7:00 PM, ESPNU

[LonghornJudas 1113]

28% from the field for VCU. Fucking pathetic.

[Nolacycling 893]

Roach, no covfidence.

[perfectchaos007 6728]

This team is ass. 

[chase25 2048]

CDC, your opportunity to show some balls at the end of the season, you've already shit canned Connie Clark. I believe

[jinx 2635]

I definitely hate watching this team play as much as I hated watching Strong's teams.  

[GHOSTUSER 361]

What a fucking joke of an ending

 

[ClubWhatever 12187]

Roach is an idiot

[The_Great_Hornsby 3367]

Shaka has not improved. You could even argue he has regressed. Time to fire him. Getting owned by his old team should be the nail in the coffin.

[Mo Horn 8900]

Gawd we suck 

[dcar00 14633]

ha ha.  no tourney for us this year.  time to move on.  CDC should have a good list.

[txhorns 2418]

Can we fire Shaka and hire Hoiberg tonight?

[goatsaag 279]

So the play with 53 seconds with ball movement into a wide open three was fine.

What looked like a called play for Roach to drive and then kick to Coleman for the straight away three when down one? lol

[clownin72 197]

A fucking three.

[Party_Taco 3837]

Roach made ONE bucket all night and that’s the play you draw up... fuck yourself, Shaka!

[Skipper 6340]

Another Shaka coached Texas team can't shoot for shit.  Shocker.

[SDG 3319]

On the bright side we won't be favored by 10 again.   

[PittsburghTiger 6253]

Saw the last 4 minutes.  Terrible. That was the play he drew up at the end?

[Nolacycling 893]

who are the worst teams in Big 12 this year?

[jinx 2635]

Quick, everybody to the Fire Shaka thread.  See you there!

[OU Sucks 9124]

Our play down 1 was to throw up a 3?  Freaking hell, Shaka is dumb.

Good lord. 

[ztejas 43787]

Fuck TCU 

 

[Bottlecap 1523]

I was gonna take my 7 year old to his first basketball game on Saturday. Fuck that.

[kingkoopa6 8484]

lame

[Ghost of Shag 2662]

I didn’t watch. Can someone tell me how we hold a team to 29% shooting and still lose?

[Party_Taco 3837]

Hard to win any game where you send them to the line that often and commit countless turnovers, even with that number. Sure, the refs were trash, but come the fuck on...

We can't make threes and we can't stop shooting them.  

[RabidM 2693]

The game was over when our fast break opportunity was blown up.  When we were forced into a half court setting, we were done.

Just another Shaka special

The Austin Spurs are playing on Saturday. 

[txhorns 2418]

Coleman's regression is very disappointing.

He’s 7.  He doesn’t know what good basketball looks like.  Take him

[Goo Punch 4275]

i rarely bet on sports anymore- only when i'm very very certain about something. The O/U on this game was 138. As soon as I posted VCU's KenPom ratings today the next thing i did was throw two units on the under. Easiest bet i've made this year.

You got lucky. 3 full periods of overtime and that might have been a nail-biter.

From post-2009 Mack, to Charlie, to Shaka, it’s been funny watching Vegas struggle to figure out badly underachieving Texas teams.  

I should have made way more money over the years.

[destroya 387]

Damn. 53 points. Fucking speechless. 

[Machinator 32099]

I think what kills me is there are some awesome players on this roster (or potentially awesome) that we're totally wasting.

So, a typical year at Texas?

That and 16 rebounds, 10 points and 5 steals and 5-6 from the line.....

[FizzleFish 137]

What a beating to watch.  Majority of our games are just boring.

he watches a ton of youtube and lots of college bball and my wife is a Michigan St alum. He does. 

[destroya 387]

Boring ass basketball and no offensive identity absent a player randomly having a great game. Other than that, we’ve got nothing; there’s no system to fall back on when the shots aren’t falling. The closest thing to a system that we have is lame ass drives to the basket that rarely work because defenders sag off our perimeter players cause we can’t shoot and tons of screens that don’t lead to anything but more screens. 

[Gut Wagon 8164]

I know we beat UNC. But it’s going to be hard to knock the Heels out of the tournament when our players are clicking the remote back in the dorm.

[GreenspointTexas 9883]

I know its been said, but how in the fuck do u lose to a team that shot 28% from the floor and 24% from 3?

 

we shot 41% last night. Its mind bottling

We threw it away 18 times.  I think we turned it over or had an offensive foul on like 9 of our last 13 possessions in the game. 

Also, they made 16 free throws and we made 5.
