  • 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

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.

The last thing this team can do is go inside against Baylor. It's men against boys, borderline abusive.

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. 

 

I'd say something closer to the latter is more likely than the former. Need some kind of lock down D, limit possessions, and somehow get way more efficient with the half court offense than Baylor. 

A loss here is not the end of the world. I just want to see fire out of Texas coming out of this first half. In all honesty, I feel like we're very fortunate to only be down by 13. You look at the stats, and there's not one where Baylor is dominating, other than overall rebounding, shooting percentage, and the 3 more 3pt makes. But they're winning every single stat. Every one of them.

Yeah, just across-the-board lack of athleticism. We have some good basketball players, but not one that is explosive or scares you. 

Is what it is. 

Definitely don’t want to throw the ball out of bounds on an inbounds pass. 

lol if we had any hope of coming back, it was literally thrown out of bounds on an inbounds play

smh

Brock should not be shooting. 

they didn't call the flop.  shouldn't that be a warning?

When we get a bad Brock game, he is an absolute liability on both ends. 

How about a flop warning against Baylor ??

... and Texas in 11am games seems like the formula for terrible play -- just no toughness or confidence

They get Mayers and we get Brock out of Westlake? Why do other teams always end up with the better players from our local high schools?

This game is hard to watch on may levels but those must be the two worst uniform colors.

Development and scouting 

Is a Baylor student holding up a poster of Rick Barnes?

Yeah, at the 17m mark of the 2nd half, right after Timmy Allen's first free throw miss.

Refs suuuuck.  What else is new. 

It's 50 - 31.

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?

I’m not watching the game so didn’t see it. Typically if you give double Ts it’s to prove a point. It’s possible Brock said something as well, not necessarily at that moment.

 

 

Damn Texas is playing soft today -- no road toughness

Did I say we are losing because of the refs?  They suck on both ends.  Missing fouls against both teams, calling phantom fouls. It detracts from the game.

Appreciate the feedback. I'll still contend it's a meaningless gesture because the person who instigated the extracurricular isn't singled out. It seems unreasonable to me to expect anyone to NOT get a bit red-assed if they had their arm hooked and then were taken to the ground.

But I do appreciate the feedback. I know fielding reffing questions is, uh, tiresome, particularly when Texas is losing. LoL

This is done. Shot making isn't there. Refs not letting anyone breathe on D - entire front court is in foul trouble.

Nice shot Askew

The guy looks smooth when he looks for his shot. Usually when the shot clock is down to 1. I'm curious what his ceiling is.

Think it’s bright.  Beard just needs more time to put together his team.

He's the kind of guy who, with more confidence, could be a huge plus for us. More upside than most of his teammates, I think. Hopefully we see him blossom as the season winds down. 
 

Meanwhile, one of today's problems is that we're evidently playing against TJ Ford. 

Hahaha what the fuck is Beard doing? 5 guard lineup?

Think he knows this is over. 

Coach on the court.  

Well no one said we were going undefeated these last games. . On to the next

Fran has like two stories he tells during every UT game. Let’s hope Licon never learns more languages. 

I’m gonna go ahead and pencil in every road game as a loss and be pleasantly surprised if we steal one. 

This is god damn embarrassing. Askew and Licon on the floor at the same time with Askew having taken the last 3 shots.  It is embarrassing that we are going to lose by 20+.

I don’t know why I drove to Waco for this shit. Our guys look so slow and unathletic compared to Baylor; this is a depressing sight.

Baylor is hitting errrrything.

You do realize that Baylor is very good team?
