  1. This team is unlike any I can recall at Texas. We are absolutely elite at getting to the line and shoot a reasonable percent once we get there. It is such an advantage to be in double bonus with 10+ minutes to go in the game. Not only do we get high percentage points from the line, but the other team has to decrease their aggressiveness to compensate for the foul trouble (or send key players to the bench or foul them out). Agree with Derka on players filling roles. I also like what Tramon Mark has been doing in our win streak, averaging 13.4 PTS, 4.2 TRB and coming up with some key offensive rebounds and midrange shots. He is getting into the lane more and also getting to the line. I wish that we could get some more shots from Heide. It seems like he should be taking twice as many 3s per game. His 0.732 eFG% is just insane. I also think our rebounding is a very big advantage, especially when combined with our efficiency. We are holding our opponents to 20.3 DRB per game, which is 6th in the country. That means more second chances for us, which is huge when combined with our efficiency. That also means less transition opportunities for our opponents (except for our damn turnovers). If we could firm up our perimeter defense and stop fouling the shit out of our opponents, we have the makings of a very dangerous tourney team.
  2. Not really disagreeing. Just saying that it seems like we have 3 classes of elite coaches right now in hoops… - The 62+ year old legends like Izzo, Self, Few, Calipari, Sampson - The 50+ yr old accomplished coaches who are taking center stage - The 40 year old young bucks I’m glad we have someone in the middle camp. The young guys are too risky.
  3. None of those names are exactly “young”. Lloyd, Oats, Beard are all 51+. For me, they are in the category of “proven solid coaches with 10-15 years of runway” along with Matt Painter (55) Sean Miller (57) and others. The best of this group would be Hurley (52) and maybe Scott Drew (54). The “young” group includes Golden (40) and Scheyer (37).
  4. Given Trump's propensity to lie / exaggerate, and the fact that his base is frothing to see big numbers of deportations, I have to assume that if anything the number of Trump deportations is overstated. But I don't really know where those numbers come from and how much control he has over them. Also, Obama's first term, it looks like 1.6M "self-deported". So Trump's run rate is 4X higher, which I guess makes sense given the programs in place now to incentivize self deportation. Also I'm sure the intimidation tactics play a role.
  5. Lol. Dude has gotten worse every single year. I thought he might be really good in 2023. But by the end of the next year, I knew he was a fraud.
  6. Yep, that describes me. I think it is important to understand the whole context in any conflict or issue. That is why I engaged in this thread. You can believe what you like. Some of the responses have been very enlightening for me, especially the one by fuggled. It was very well laid out and insightful.
