Will Baker is fucking terrible in every aspect of basketball. How was this guy touted out of high school??

Yeah... Baker looks heavy and out of shape.  Baker just got his 3rd foul... DUMBASS

Shaka is serious about defending that NIT title. Doing all he can to make sure we don't sniff the NCAA.

I don’t think we will be defending our NIT title this year 

Let’s see, fewest foul shots;

One of the worst FG% teams;

poor rebounding. 

I don’t see how it could be much worse.

god dam I wish we fired coaches during the season. 

this team has no idea how to play a 2 3 zone.  think about that.

However, a CBI title will certainly diversify Shaka’s resume

he knows we aren't making the NCAA.  this team didn't have a chance before the injuries.

Most of our players are just not very good plus they may be the most poorly coached team in the country which is why you  get more turnovers than FG’s as we have now.

Horrible

Our guard play is absolutely atrocious. There is no coach worth his salt that would want Coleman, Jones or Ramey even on his roster. They are not even average college players. 

I disagree.  They are decent players, just poorly developed by Shaka...

So is Sims actually hurt or is it a combination of he was tired of never getting the ball and Shaka needing a reason at the end of the season for why we didn't make the tournament again?

hoping CDC uses Softball as the blueprint.  Coaching matters A LOT.

I will be paying more attention to the Xfinity race I Daytona which is getting ready to start

This will be a single digit game at half and isu will shit all over themselves in the 2nd half. I'm fairly confident in that now that Texas weathered the isu "run"

Ramey is out of control a lot but the only one athletic enough to create his own shot. With a proper coach he might have hope. 

Williams has some shake in him. It’s the whole getting the ball in the basket part that he struggles with

I agree with this.  Before he got sick Andrew Jones was a damn good basketball player for us.  I think the poor guard play from his teammates he came back to has really hurt his game.

Hey not even Adolph or John have a final four, NIT and CBI title on their resume. Extension time!

Jesus ... put some air under the ball ... George Costanza could block some of these wait level shot put layup attempts our mentally soft guards are lobbing up

That ship sailed a month ago

Wouldn’t surprise me if Texas doesn’t win another game this season and the narrative about why becomes all about injuries.

Who is decent?  Coleman and his over dribbling tentative play?  He is incapable of passing into the post and doesn’t even try. And he cannot get to the basket. His only redeemable qualities are a developing 3 point shot and some ball handling ability though he is prone to turnovers / tie ups with aggressive on ball defenders. 

Jones is frankly lost, weak and not good. 

Ramey could be salvaged with proper coaching. Williams has more talent than any of them. 

If they were coached better, Ramey could play pro in Europe and Coleman in the past has shown enough ability to compete for honorable mention on the All B12 Team.  

Andrew Jones just seems to have lost a lot of his basketball skills and instincts since returning from his cancer battle...

People tried the injury narrative with FB.  It’s played out.   

UNT, 28; Old Dominion, 18, HT. thats coaching, there.

Any coach in Southland would be an improvement. Shoot, Todd Duncan at Lubbock Christian would be an improvement.

If Texas doesn't win anymore games this season and misses the B12 Tourney,  Shaka will be fired for sure...

ESPN is pimping that narrative now and will grow with each loss.

We'll be at 14-11 here inside the next hour.  The injuries are certainly going to be an issue.  Take versus TCU, @KSU, and versus OSU.  I think there's two wins in that mix given how bad those teams are.  So that's 16-15.  If we were to lose the first round of the conference tourney, that's 16-16, and I think we can still technically get a bid to the NIT, no?  

There's also a chance that as the 7 or 8 or 9 seed, we could still pull off one conf. tourney win and get to 17-16 which would almost guarantee we get to the NIT.  I'm just saying there's still a possibility Shaka gets cover by technically making the post-season despite all these injuries and youth.  

Plus, I'm sure CDC would like to just end the Erwin Center era next season with Shaka's final lap as well.  I dunno.  

But man, we are a horribly coached team.  That's all I got.  I wonder what our assistants think of this current debacle.  

Jones totally gets a pass from me. I hate for him that sickness took such a toll, but at least he worked his way back into playing some. I suspect he’s worked harder on his game than the rest have, but it’s just such an uphill struggle to get back. 

Now let’s talk about Ramey and Coleman. I don’t think it’s unfair to expect guys to get better over their careers. Unfortunately, both these guys have regressed. At this rate, in another year they’ll be playing intramurals, brother. And that’s on Shaka. Every last bit of it.

Dude trigger warning that shit. Implying we could suffer another year of Shaka Is terrifying

I really wonder what Yaklich thinks.  he's seen high level basketball and coaching.

There’s a difference between trying to do the right things and being outplayed by superior talent ... this team has no clue and provides inconsistent effort and has little fight... pathetic effort and coaching

Waiting until the last game is over.

Thanks pal. Shaka is fired regardless of what transpires absent a miraculous run that results in a Sweet 16 run. 

 

Not your Pal...

hope this ends up being another WVU asswhippin

Imagine having the worst two hires in Texas Athletics history on your resume. Good job Patterson.

This is so bad Derka isn’t even watching and Tennessee doesn’t play for 3hrs...  

AJ is another febres ... has about one good offensive game every 5 games, is horrific on defense, plays full speed about once or twice each half, won’t rebound, and crazily favored by Shaka

About to hit the U12 with six points scored in the half.

 

Wish CDC would just fire Shakablah after this game!!
