Game 12: Texas vs UT-Arlington, 7 PM, LHN

[Machinator 32103]

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Oh, hell yeah! The undefeated season starts tonight!

We gon' stick it so far up the Mavericks' asses, they'll think they're in Ardmore.

[CurlyDumps 4654]

Roach to be ruled out 10 min before game time with a nasty case of the sniffles.

[VinyVango 708]

I'd start Ramey, Long, Febres, DO, and Hayes. 

Sub Coleman and Roach in liberally for Ramey, Long and Febres and go with the three of that group who are playing best after the half.

Give DO, Hepa, and Hamm as close to equal time in the first half and slant 2nd half playing time based on 1st half performance.

If Simms plays poorly when he comes in to spell Hayes, use DO and/or Hamm as the backup Center and let Hepa get more run at Forward. 

Throw Liddell in the mix too if Febres, Roach, Hepa and DO are not getting it done.

Since there has been little consistency in performance from game to game (save maybe Hayes), I think you have to start the 5 guys who played best the previous game for the next several games until someone earns a permanent spot in the rotation.  Starting Coleman, Roach, Febres, DO and Simms multiple games with certainly hasn't shown any point differential, chemistry, iq or passion benefits...  So, time to open the depth chart up (as should have been done after the first lackluster performance) on a game to game basis for a while.

No mind games, just fucking ball

[Goo Punch 4275]

Chris Ogden is the HC at UTA. Texas is a 19 point favorite.

[Red Five 41736]

I really don't want to watch this.

There might be a basket.  I’d even wager a made three.

For 3 whole minutes and a 7-0 lead, then yank 4 of them off for subs

[Red Five 41736]

6-2 UTA since we pulled four starters after a 7-0 start in three minutes.

Chris O. was a favorite of mine. Defined White Men Can't Jump. But always a spark when he entered because he knew the fundamentals.

[Machinator 32103]

The effect of starting Hayes will be blunted if he can't stay out of foul trouble.

[CurlyDumps 4654]

Cool.  Shaka decided Snoop gets to play tonight?

[Goo Punch 4275]

I can't see Roach ever playing in the NBA.

Even better he decided he’s the best option to flash in the high post against the zone

[Red Five 41736]

I think Hamm got a piece of that one. 

Looks like Sims still isn't really interested in playing basketball. 

[Dbeasy 15593]

Meh.

Sure seems like Hamm deserves all of Sims’ minutes at this point.

[jimmyjazz 47157]

Shit, I totally forgot about this game what with a bunch of family stuff.  Score at half?

 

EDIT:  LowT Galindo just said it, 33-26

We suck

[Goo Punch 4275]

2-13 from deep, and outrebounding a team with no big men by 1.

[jimmyjazz 47157]

So, we've maintained our edge.  Good to hear it.

[Goo Punch 4275]

We start Jaxson Hayes for the first time and our first possession is a dunk. Hayes starts the second half and the first possession is a dunk. Hmm.

[jimmyjazz 47157]

Jesus DO sucks

[Goo Punch 4275]

Dylan...have some pride. Jesus.

[ChickenSandwich 9958]

No words for that. Ouch

[CurlyDumps 4654]

DO getting embarrassed by superior UTA athletes.

[jimmyjazz 47157]

Seriously, I am so athletic my best sport is bowling, and I can make layups . . . from a nearly a foot lower than DO misses every one of them.

[Goo Punch 4275]

In the last 30 seconds DO has missed three point blank looks, then got absolutely stuffed by a guy 3 inches shorter than him, then dribbled the ball off his knee.

LOL.  I just walked in the door and turned it on it time to see this.  

[Goo Punch 4275]

DO misses fro point blank again. His shot chart must be hilarious.

Damn that was well put.  You should blog the game.

[Machinator 32103]

Despite Osetkowski's best efforts, we managed to double our lead in four minutes from 6 to 12.

Roach putting da team on his back doe.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Lowell and Lance just alluded to the fact that Roach wasn't actually sick. Surprised to hear them let that out.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Ramey's stroke looks really good.

[Goo Punch 4275]

That was nice from Ramey. Way to take advantage of the mismatch.

[shakahorn 1656]

Ogden hasn't missed many meals.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Good D Hepa.

Do you know when they said that? I missed that live.

[Machinator 32103]

Thus far, the most improved sophomore on the team is the guy nobody expected to contribute coming into the season.

15:37 left in the game as Snoop scores and gets fouled.

His play from the O/W scrimmage has carried over.

I like that when he gets the ball down low his first action is towards the rim.  I mean, I know they're smaller than most teams, but still, only good can come from that.

[Dbeasy 15593]

We could have a very deep bench come tourney time. Of course we won’t use it correctly at all, if we get in.

The band should play yakkety sax every time DO touches the ball.

Unlike Sims, he looks like he has purpose in whatever he's doing.

[Goo Punch 4275]

I'm telling you man, give Eric Musselman this roster with Ramey, Long, Baker, Hamm, (hopefully) Sims, Hepa, et al and we would be in better shape overnight. A tourney team for sure.
