It's a college thread, thread- shitter fuck.

Wins are wins though.

I don't think anyone is surprised, especially not Vegas.

This game won’t be close by the end.

Shaka’s halftime speech should be “hey guys, the football and baseball teams are watching’.

[Brian Fantana 6685]

What the hell is Dennis Rodman doing in Lubbock lol

[Victor Lazlo 1776]

You’re down after scoring 23 points in the 1st half?

I say push the ball. Make something happen.

what.  we aren't cursed we have a shitty coach.

I am not talking this year, or really even the last few years. I am talking since we had the misfortune to play Syracuse and Melo in 2003. Then Tyrus Thomas and Big Baby playing out of their mind for LSU, the Durant team should have at least made Sweet 16... Derrick Rose v DJ Augustine in Houston, etc.. these are just the highest profile losses.

We do Navy seal training at halftime, it really brings the team closer together and makes them much better basketball players

[dcar00 14181]

really our season low is 30% for a half?  color me shocked.

You're not crazy. This is the textbook definition of a trap game and our second half defense can be lax sometimes.

i think we still have a run in us. we rarely get blown out and we can always get hot. 

that said TTU's offense has been skyrocketing up the computer rankings since conference play started and i wouldn't be surprised to see the romp continue. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

how is the ref out there going to bail them out with a call like that? come on man. 

[Hagbard Celine 10853]

just tuning in.

baseball boner un-enchubbened.

[dcar00 14181]

shaka with the confused teenager look.  get him out of here.

[Goo Punch 4275]

bad call against tech. 

[dcar00 14181]

that was going to hit the rim again. they blew the 10 sec call.

i don't think so.  that ball was going to hit the rim again.

Nah I think Fran is right on that one

[Pam Cummings 9640]

I'll never understand how offensive goaltending is a thing. Like, the entire point of the sport is to put the ball into the basket.

won't matter either way, lol, damn we suck.

Wtf? You'd have to allow the defense the same opportunity to goaltend.

George Mikan rule

[Billy Pilgrim 1960]

DO has a mismatch against a guy 6 inches shorter and immediately passes out of it

Hayes projected in this 2019 NBA Mock Draft #19

Doesn't mean shit.  He'd get his ass handed to him night in and night out on a professional level.  Don't forget guys like Greg Oden, Kwame Brown, Darko, Anthony Bennett...

Febres looks disinterested, or is that just his style? I wasnt able to watch the last few games... 

[Horn80 6118]

Travel?

[dcar00 14181]

Long has to shoot that.  Tech makes those and it won't matter though.

[Brian Fantana 6685]

Davide Moretti is fucking deadly

No you wouldn't. I understand why defensive goaltending is against the rules. I believe FIBA rules allow for offensive goaltending.

Well defenders shouldn’t be allowed to touch the ball while it’s in the cylinder.  So, offensive players can’t just have free reign to tip in any ball still in the cylinder uncontested.

He’s dealing with a bun on his head.

[Victor Lazlo 1776]

Well, hell. 

Tech is shooting lights out and our offense looks like dog shit. 

It seems like I was wrong about our comeback chances.

Just looked it up, FIBA rules allow players on offense or defense to touch the ball once it has hit the cylinder. Seems fair enough. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Where’s our little white guy who makes 3s?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Lol Hayes a top 5 pick? Is the draft that bad this year?

comedy gold...

[GreenspointTexas 9600]

We are getting dominated now

 

in less than 3 years, Beard has turned Tech into a powerhouse

 

Tech!

[CurlyDumps 4471]

 Shaka will never win a tournament game at Texas. His teams are such a joke on the road.

[Billy Pilgrim 1960]

No call for being in restricted circle and flooring him with the body?

[Billy Pilgrim 1960]

Jesus- we got guys getting hammered with no call and now they’re getting ticky tack shit

You must be living on another planet with Montana.

Tech fans would boo a foul call on their own mother being assaulted if she was wearing a Texas uniform

[Goo Punch 4275]

Sims had *no chance* to get anything done there and his four teammates just stood sedentary watching him go 1 v 2. such a poorly coached team. so blatant. so hard to watch.
