That's cause he was on the bench with foul troublem. Don't get me wrong Simms played horrible. But Jones needs to work on his rebounding too. When he was in Simms did a better job on Culver. Jones passed him off multiple times sometimes to Cunningham which was a big time miss match.

January 9, 20214 yr that was an ugly game, but they stuck in there and got it done. love that it was andrew with the dagger.
January 9, 20214 yr That’s a nice little Saturday. Maybe I’ll head out to Bed Bath and Beyond or Home Depot to top it off.
January 9, 20214 yr Author The only game I wasn't able to watch this year was the Villanova game. I've cleared my calendar for the rest of the season.

But Ramey made his and Coleman swished both of his like it was practice. tough to know how big a deal a road win is this year and I haven’t looked for or seen any statistics about how different that is so far this season across cbb, but it’s never bad to get road wins against the top of the conference.
January 9, 20214 yr What a game. This is the first texas team I've enjoyed watching in years. That last possession was a thing of beauty.
January 9, 20214 yr 🤘 Wow, what a dramatic win. The team didn't give up and came back to win on the road with the most deserving player taking the winning shot.
January 9, 20214 yr Hell of a win. Played like shit and won in a tough place to win. The Shaka Hair Tour lives on.
January 9, 20214 yr Gotta toss some credit to Shaka for allowing that last possession to play out instead of calling a TO and giving WVU a chance to get set. And even more credit to Ramey for yet another dime. Dude was our glue today. Carried the team when the rest of the guys were struggling. Edited January 9, 20214 yr by Braff Zacklin

Put the ball in the hands of your most experienced guards to make the plays. Ramey and Jones did the damn thing. Props to Shaka not trying to overcoach that moment

For whatever reason ESPN doesn't have minutes played but I'd bet a large sum of money that Sims played more in the 2nd half than Kai. Don't get me wrong - wins are great and this team gritted it out until the final whistle today - but there was a lot of concerning stuff that I saw - things that get you upset in the first weekend of the tourney. Hopefully it was just an off day because reversion to bad Shaka ball has been the exception this year and not the norm.

January 9, 20214 yr This team expects to win. Great job. Enjoy the flight home and bet ready tomorrow for the next game.
January 9, 20214 yr Still can’t believe that WV big tried to go up with it after securing the second offensive rebound. That’s shit they teach people in high school. Texas should overnight him some whataburger for doing them a solid.
January 9, 20214 yr Smart move to not call TO allowing WV to get set. Love seeing AJ come through, great story. Hook’em

We shall see. i was just happy to see us claw back twice with nothing from downtown. long row to hoe in the league. but early road wins like this.... trying to think back when we did this to continue a multi-game streak... against a ranked team..... penders?
January 9, 20214 yr What a difference a year makes in Couchtown. Just an outstanding comeback. We were far from perfect, but multiple guys made some big plays when it mattered. Huge drive and dish by Ramey, and so clutch by Drew.

January 9, 20214 yr Experienced guards can take you a long way. Two grind 'em out wins in a row. I believe.
January 9, 20214 yr Have a very good friend fighting blood cancer and is a Longhorn fan as well.....he would be very proud of Team overcoming odds of bad officiating and semi-good play of WV...nice come back Horns!!! Great shot Andrew Jones !!!
January 9, 20214 yr This team seems to play well together. No one has too big of an ego. Great clutch shot by Jones on a day we hadn't been shooting well from outside.

But these aren't really "road" games that these guys are playing this season. 7 minutes ago, Dr. Beeper said: All 3 crucial boards down the stretch. 17 minutes with foul trouble. Sims is clearly a better rebounder and it showed down the stretch. As soon as he fouls out on a phantom call by an out of position ref, Kai went in and our rebounding for 2 possessions was nonexistent. No problem with his lineup down the stretch. He had the 5 most effective guys for this game playing the last 6-7 minutes, and they came back from down 5 twice. You're entitled to your opinion. Sims rebounding sure as shit didn't impress me down the stretch and he should have picked up his 5th on the play where GB picked up the foul instead. Shaka has overall been great this season. His inability to get Kai involved in the offense still makes me want to rip my hair out. The flashes that that guy has are next level shit.
January 9, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Dr. Beeper said: Correct on Brown missing front end, and Ramey and Coleman each sinking both. Teams were even - both missed 6 FTs. Texas 14-20; WVU 13-19. Yeah but for WV it’ll be about the 0-2 at the end. Choke
