March 5, 20223 yr Damn, this was a tough loss, but if they bring this effort in defense, we’ve got a chance in the tourney.
March 5, 20223 yr We just don't have the guards. The guards didn’t lose it today … we got beat insideSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 5, 20223 yr This was a team playing its 4th game in 8 days. And it went into OT. Gotta win a game like this. No excuses.
March 5, 20223 yr I fucking hate moral victories. They played really well, but in the end that means shit if you don't win. I predicted .500 in conference play. Missed it by 1
March 5, 20223 yr How did Askew start 20-something games at Kentucky last year? His basketball intelligence is pretty low.
March 5, 20223 yr LOL KU keeps their 40 year senior day streak via home-cooking when they denied Allen his free throws. It's a loss for the Horns but well-played.

March 5, 20223 yr Missing free throws and not hitting shots in OT cost us the game. But that jump ball call really was a game changing call
March 5, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, pacman said: 64% FT%, 34% FG% for Texas Well, KU only shot 31% from the field, so I don't feel like that's the difference necessarily. KU has missed a ton of shots 2 feet and in. 36 free throws to 19 free throws. 28 free throws made to 13 free throws made. We had 4 more turnovers. 7 less rebounds. Two more made 3 point shots. But the free throws were clearly the difference. Doesn't matter. I'm super proud of this team.
March 5, 20223 yr FTs the difference for a team that shot them really well all year. This team isn’t perfect, but I love these dudes - they play hard as fuck and don’t quit. TCOB against TCU on Thursday and we get another shot at these fucks in 6 days…. Edited March 5, 20223 yr by Ignatius

March 5, 20223 yr This team lacks the IT factor. I am happy with the season given what Beard had coming in but we are not going to be a top tier team until we bring in some blue chippers. The way I see it, the top 3 teams in the league are a notch above the rest because they have better talent. Coaching is good top to bottom.
March 5, 20223 yr Just went back and rewound to the 30 second mark. That was a blatant missed 10 second call on KU. It was actually 13.8 seconds. That would have given us the ball down 2 with a chance to win.

Texas is toast if they get a bad matchup in the tourney. I love the way this team works and like Beard’s system. He needs a more well rounded team and it may take a couple of years to get there.
March 5, 20223 yr Askew is a waterbug, we need his athleticism on the court. He's not TJ Ford, nobody claimed he was, but he creates openings simply because opposition needs to account for him. I like his game. I think he'll be a borderline all-conference guard next year.
March 5, 20223 yr We had PLENTY of opportunities to win and didn’t take advantage of any of them. Jump ball was a BS call but it shouldn’t have mattered

How many all conference guards can’t score 10ppg? He has to have a jumper and be able to score some to make all conference. If he got one then yea I agree.

Say what you want but I actually think if Texas matches uP with KU in the tournament we’ll have a good chance to win that game.
March 5, 20223 yr Askew on the season- 2.2ppg, 0.9rpg, 1.4 assts all conference next year? He would have to improve a shit ton.
March 5, 20223 yr Probably the most bitch-ass post I'll ever make: Can't really fault our 'Horns. It's extremely difficult to overcome the eight guys on the floor, willing KU to another win at the Phog.

I also think he’s going to be good next year after some development under Beard. Definitely excited for it

I think we have a shot in the big 12 tourney sans Baylor. A matchup at the big dance with guards like Flagler from Baylor or any team with inside bigs over 6’10” are not good matchups for this team. Especially with Mitchell missing and Disu not getting back into a regular rotation.

If he got one then yea I agree. Well, he's at 15 mpg right now. Doubling that obviously helps. I also think he's rounding into a more effective scorer. We'll see. You do realize I said "borderlin" all-conference, right? I'm not predicting lottery pick or anything. I think he can be effective, because he's lightning quick, reasonably adept with the ball in his hands, and . . . none of our other guys are that.
March 6, 20223 yr Well we still haven't lost to KU in regulation in like 2 years so we have that going for us, which is nice

College basketball needs guards that can score. That’s why a dorky 6’4 white boy from northern Iowa can drop 25 a game against a future lottery pick then never sniff professional basketball. For college I will take the dorky 6’4 white kid than can shoot. If he developed a jumper he could easily jump into that category.

I'm hopeful that Beard can clear out whatever cobwebs are holding Devin back.

He didn't today, and the googles tell me that he's 24-59 on FGs this year, so I don't have any idea how you've concluded that he has a nice shot.
March 6, 20223 yr Blown away the chop block on A Jones that directly lead to a break wasn’t called. unreal

Gotta seize those opportunities. If you're whining about the officiating then you're a loser as well. The referees were fine. Our execution, and free throws, weren't. That's why we lost.

Askew has a good shot. He just doesn't use it unless he's checked off every possible box to pass it to someone else.

That's why we lost. This is hilarious. There's definitely too much whining about officiating on this site (or any site, really), but blanket statements defending poor officiating are even worse. Forty percent of KU's points came from the foul line.
