Nice end of half for Matty Ice

Coleman was badass that last minute. If we can get Ramey to use better shot selection (yeah I know) we could win this thing. 

Greg Brown is sooooo close to being a great college player. Still a little too hype out there at times. Trying to do too much and ends up with bad shots, turnovers and goal tends. But all of that will be corrected in the next year or two. Wish it was in burnt orange.

Was listening to Craig Way while driving home in the car to these TV guys on CBS.  Damn, Craig and Orin are great.

His first 2 were open 3s that you want him to shoot every time. Then he got to chucking. 

Our first possession of the game, he was "open" because he was about four feet behind the three-point line, and he launched it with 20 seconds on the shot clock.  No big man touched the ball, the ball never went inside the 3-point line.  

Are we losing another game at the free throw line? 4 of 8 compared to 8 of 9.  It never improves.

That wasn't even close to our worst possession of the first half. And you're only bringing it up because he missed the shot. I have no problem with our best 3 point shooter taking an open 3 pointer from reasonable range regardless of how much time is on the shot clock. I get he's this board's whipping boy but beleive it or not Texas' success hinges on much more than Ramey's shot selection.

Oh look - AJ just missed a wide open 3 pointer! What an awful shot. There was still 17 seconds on the shot clock!

It’ll boil down significantly to halftime adjustments now.

I'll be GBIII has a huge game today.  

once he figures out how to not get fouls he'll be good...

Ramey literally just did the same thing he yelled at Jones for during the wvu game

We know how that will end

Brock shouldn't shoot ever.  

If we had a coach, he’d stop Brock from shooting. 

it's too bad cunningham can't shoot.  he'd be a dynamic player if he could.

Ramey is the board's whipping boy for a reason. His shot selection hasn't improved over the years. His occasional good games doesn't make up for his numerous bone headed plays.

So we’re proper fucked.

He could be our sole “ball handler” next year...scary thought

Dammit Ramey.  

Surely not gonna be surprised when Mac goes off on us in the second half.

Agreed

Jones losing McClung on that 3 is boneheaded. McClung pushed and we had 2 on 2, Jones guarded nobody in the corner and gave up the open 3.

Ahh yes, the second half when you see where coaching adjustments count.

Relax, man. 

I didn't say it was our worst possession of the first half.   I didn't say anything remotely like that (why argue with something I didn't even say?).

I was "only bringing it up" because you replied to my post to say that Ramey's first two shots were good shots.  Ramey launched a 26-footer a few seconds into the game.  No penetration, no ball movement, no motion, no screen, no chance to draw contact, no getting teammates involved in game.  No chance for a lob to Sims, no kickout to an open teammate...  Just get the pass from Coleman (well behind the arc), launch.

We can just disagree on whether that's a good shot.

 

One coach made halftime adjustments, the other said let's just come out and do whatever. If you're not watching the game, can you guess which is which?

Jones is becoming a defensive liability and deserved getting called out by Ramey because he keeps doing the same thing 

Mucho sucko

our coaching is bad.  there's no way to sugar coat it.   

next couple of minutes will tell the tale.  Tech gets it to 14 or 15 its over.

Do we still have those cool sayings on the white board. That helped.

well yeah, been that way for 6 years.  we are watching hoping our players can overcome it, which is difficult because while they are good players they aren't THAT good.

anyone who isn't completely done with Shaka isn't watching. how many terrible long range shots are we going to take? it's beyond obvious that attacking the rim is what's working, and instead we've got Brock Cunningham firing at will. fucking christ this is so frustrating to watch.

If I’m tech, I foul the shit out of Simms to keep him from dunking and allow Ramey space for very long 3s...move the ball on offense until you have AJ or Febres getting posted up or running for an ole close out

Yeah but I've been in denial until last week.  This is my coming to grips.

There’s actually been some great sets from us this half, we are getting nothing out of it

Watching Shaka coached team....

sims should never try and put the ball on the court.  feels like he turns it over every single time he does that.
