  • Oh, please tell me that's a real sign.  Collidge education at it's (ahem) finest.

    yeah well, for those of us who aren't freaking out over this performance, it's pretty disappointing (and frankly quite annoying) how many people who are never seen on this board 95% of the time come f

  • We look putrid on offense because this is an elite level defense. We are getting dusted on the glass because this is a team of elite level athletes. This isn’t that hard

Time to switch it off? I can't watch this shit.

Aside from them being bigger, quicker,  deeper, more skilled and at home, this is an even matchup. 

 

Yeah, it's rough. Drew at Baylor just really has it going on. I hate the guy, but it's impressive. Baylor at their best this year has looked like the best team in the country. And even with the injuries, they keep pushing on. 

Right now they just look like they're on a different level. Texas has to play their best game just to keep within sight. They're not playing their best today.

That was ridiculous defensive IQ by Ramey. He'll have a long career overseas if he wants. 

How the fuck is that a foul on Mitchell? 

Lmfao suck my dick ref. That's a clear rebounding foul over Mitchell and you send this punk to the line. Give us a break.

Road Texas is so fucking brutal.

Yeah I had some decent hope for the other road games but I’m going to go ahead and move them to probable losses.

Is over the back even a thing now?

It really isn't in college. It's annoyed me all year. 

this was over before it started.  refs all up in Drew's ass and they can't miss.

Can't rebound, can't shoot, can't pass. We look like a high school team out there. They better come out of the locker room ready to burn down the rape arena.

They have twice the talent we do.  More than Kansas.   If they don’t win the conference it’s a terrible coaching job by Drew. 

These clowns are calling so much soft shit both ways. I wouldn't say we're getting hosed I just don't like when games are officiated like this in general.

Also the announcers... Carr looking for his first points? He had a FG and 2 FTs already.

Yeah, they do.  They're shooting 52% from the field, 12-13 from the line, and they're winning turnovers and rebounds.  It's an ass kicking master class.

… and yet there continues to be murmurs that the officiating is uneven.  Why should it, there’s nothing even about the teams?

Well I was hoping for 10... down 13 is tough but technically doable. Have to quit turning the ball over and giving them open looks. 

Can we beat them by 14 in the second half … looks unlikely

It is embarrassing beyond words that the University of Texas allowed this to happen in any sport.

I'll be OK if they can play even and not look like dogshit the rest of the way.  the refs aren't gonna let us back in this.

Should have been a foul on that last shot. Brown ran into Ramey's space which is crazy because he shot a fade away.

Ramey has been impressive this year. 

Gotta give it up for Ramey. He's showed up time and time again this year. Need his competitive DNA in a bunch more of our guys.

The officiating has been fine.  We have 12 free throws and they have 15.  10 fouls on each team.  That ain't the problem today, or most other days.

Nope .. blaming the officiating is a staple on this board.

Yeah, Jones is playing really weak and timid in this game.

I am so fucking tired of our offense looking the exact same for the past 10 fucking years.  Doesnt matter who the coach is.  We stand around, dont do shit, and throw up an embarrassing 3 at the last second of the shot clock.  Meanwhile, Baylor is getting easy wide open shots and alley oops.  

That Thamba abuse of Mitchell on the offensive rebound is a microcosm of the interior softness of this team. No nastiness, no strength, nothing that scares you. 

Mitchell was completely worthless in that first half. F- game from him so far.

The non over the back on Mitchell was shit. Other than that I don't have many gripes. Baylor has gotten whistled for some ticky tack shit against us.

True. But we aren’t the same type of athlete either. What happens to coaches when they come to Texas that they go after the same type of softer, less athletic recruit/transfer. Baylor gets athletes and molds them.

@Sbbruin  ⬆⬆ What do yah think about this ?  😋

Yeah, and probably on every other board, too.  Most fans see the bad calls on their team and not the bad calls on the other team.  Human nature.

I'm of the opinion that it really does even out over time and therefore reffing should only very rarely be bitched about (like when Brock was slammed earlier and they took a look at the replay and still got it wrong). 

Even when it's a last second bad call that costs your team a chance at a W, there were like 25 other things your team could've done better before that moment to win that game.

Etc...

Not mad about the score as it seemed inevitable that BU would find its groove and our 'Horns would have a bit of a letdown after KU.

But what does infuriate me is that double tech on Sochan and Brock. Brock did nothing wrong there. He was merely hustling for a loose ball. Bitch-ass Sochan saw he was gonna lose that battle, so he hooked Brock and took him down. Replay clearly demonstrates this, yet the derpy refs go to the monitor and decide double techs are warranted.

@Pancho, as our resident officiating expert, could you take a moment to explain their rationale? I recognize they wanna keep the peace, but fair is fair, and Brock was just hustling as usual.

And disclaimer: I personally don't gaf if Baylor plays great and blows Texas out by 20 or more--a call here or there won't be the reason that happened. This is about principle. What lesson does Sochan learn from the double tech other than he can get away with it again?

They were legislating Brock. They had a bad injury and things were getting chippy. So they decided to try and control our toughest guy. 

Brock slamned lol.

Yep, indeed, no doubt. Baylor plays above the rim with multiple players. We don't have a single guy that can do that. 

 

We need to take this inside, over and over, and try to draw fouls.  Oh, and hit the free throws.

There's no other choice.  We aren't going to outshoot them from 3.

Bishop got hacked down low on a reach as did Allen(twice on shots), then there is the Brock call and every time baylor drives its a soft foul.  Baylor had one ticky tack on Carr late that bailed him out.

So to win this game, we either need something like a 50 point half or hold them to around 25. Odds of either…are not high.

A big reason why I love reading other boards. It's bad in all sports, but no sport even remotely comes close to creating the amount of complaints basketball does. 

Heck, the KU boards act like that Texas game is the worst officiated game ever. I mean that. It's been comical.

… and I don’t believe we have the size to take it inside.

One positive was Febres got his first made three pointer of 2022.

In this case it’s because 1) our guards are not good enough athletes to create open looks and theirs are.  2) they are doing a good job denying the passing lanes. They are a long,  athletic team. We’re not.
