November 22, 20196 yr I actually liked the player rotation last night. Except Ramey was shit and counter productive, needs to have way less minutes. The hustle and effort by most of the rest of the squad was pretty high despite the second half offensive drought. Hoyas brought the tough D 2nd half and their center made a yuge difference then as well despite limited minutes due to foul trouble. The tall freshman wing for Texas, 22 I think, shows a lot of potential if he can get his feet under him and play slightly more under control from the wing. He could be really good(can't teach that length). Lots of players to rotate that can contribute and grow as the season wears on. That first half was actually enjoyable to watch.

November 22, 20196 yr Ramey, surprisingly, is above his season avg in points and rebounds per game but his 3P% shooting is atrocious while his FG% is higher than last year (barely). His 2019 season so far is really disappointing.
November 22, 20196 yr Why is Ramey on the court? holy shit, just throw up 2 awful 3's, and no consequences. Those were closer to heaves than actual shots.

November 22, 20196 yr I don’t see Texas running an offense. Just jacking up 3s. But why do the heathens rage?

November 22, 20196 yr Texas hasn't shot a single free throw in 2 of the last 3 halves of basketball. Texas has 10 total free throws in the last 3 halves of basketball.

As I said last night--we won't shoot many free throws if the majority of our offense is 3-point shooting. If you want to go to the FT, drive the damn ball to the basket.
November 22, 20196 yr Just tuned in... thought we were losing by y'alls comments... Horns up 39 - 28 Announcers cackling like chickens 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔 Edited November 22, 20196 yr by LTtxfan Damn Autocorrect
November 22, 20196 yr at least we look somewhat competent today. here's to shaka finding a way to stunt jones' and williams' development somehow

If you want to go to the FT, drive the damn ball to the basket. That FACT seems to have escaped the understanding of a few posters who sought to blame the officiating for last night’s loss. Being out-rebounded while shooting a cool 37% might be a greater factor.
November 22, 20196 yr Hepa getting zero development minutes. Is he hurt, in doghouse or poor coaching?

November 22, 20196 yr Positives: effort on the defensive end, taking much better care of the ball, lots of assists, more than half of our attempts aren't from deep, Febres actually hitting his looks, and rebounds about even (hey, for us, that's a positive). Negatives: still too many threes attempted, not driving to the hoop, not getting to the charity stripe, no semblance of an offensive scheme, and suddenly (already) a very short bench (only three subs used so far). The short bench kills us every year. Shaka starts out playing everyone but quickly whittles it to two or three primary subs and everyone else collects dust on the pine. Oh, and I left out the biggest positive: a win.
