The only loss was the game @TCU which was frustrating, but this team is still so damn clutch. Xavier is 10-6 in the same games. The losses include @DePaul, @Butler, and Villanova at home. They have some solid wins too of course, but not as many as us. Thought this was a good sign going into what most expect to be a pretty close game. That's not including the Illinois game, that we threw away and ended up losing by 7 in OT.

Clearly under RT we lose that game in regulation by 20. And the God Of All Defense allowed a team that shot 31% BTA for the season to shoot 44% that night, so you’re looking at probably 80% if RT is coaching that game…

They might say that if they eventually take a case raising that issue, but they have not yet.
March 23, 20232 yr Slowing it down seems like a bad idea. You should look to push and get easy looks, just stay under control. Limit the live ball TOs, as Xavier doesn't force the issue, and with their depth concerns I don't think he be applying the ball pressure that the Texas guards can put on opposing guards. Gerry mentioned he looks for Xavier to zone when we have Allen, Mitchell, and Disu on the court, but doesn't like Xavier zoning our 3 guard lineups as all of those guys can get hot and bury you. If they ever got hot together, then you are looking at the Baylor offense the year they won the title with a much better post-game to help out.

Sean Miller has rarely run zone in his career. Probably less than 10% of defensive possessions. But he may have no choice in this game if they can't guard the Carr and Disu pick and roll.
March 24, 20232 yr Pace of play is the interesting part of this match up. Advantages for Texas- 1) Texas has more depth. More possessions = more fouls which may get a team that only plays 6 guys into foul trouble. 2) Xavier can be turnover prone at times. So full court pressure could play into our advantage. 3) Texas is much more athletic across the board so theoretically that should be an advantage for Texas in the open court. Advantages for Xavier- 1) They are a much more efficient offensive team when they score quickly. Their offense is predicated on scoring in transition. 2) Xavier's weakness on the defensive end is Nunge defending the pick and roll. Getting them into a half court game where you abuse Nunge seems to be the best offensive strategy. I'm not sure what the strategy is here because I can see the reasoning both ways.
March 24, 20232 yr We gonna shoot lightning and rebound thunder. but in all seriousness, go horns and so forth. My goal besides winning is just to make it to the final buzzer at 11:00p local time.

That's my first memory of watching Texas basketball. Then Reggie Freeman and then Clack. All clear from there. 91-94. Rencher was still there in 94/95 Clack/Vasquez came in 95/96

March 24, 20232 yr We all need this run. I just need it to continue, I think we deserve one title in basketball and watch it come when we don’t have a big name coach which I’m fine with. I feel a close win tonight, 73-68.
March 24, 20232 yr I feel like we have good momentum and this team trusts each other. All the ingredients are there. Just keep it going another night.

March 24, 20232 yr If we hit our 3s I think we win by 10-15. If we struggle with our 3s probably 3-5 point win.
March 24, 20232 yr If we hit our 2s I think we win by 7-10. If we struggle with our 2s probably 1-3 point win.

That's like a surly 1% now paying $500 for a ticket, then reselling it for $1000 online, taking the profit, getting a hooker, paying her $500, killing her, taking the $500 back, and buying back the ticket for $1000 and seeing us win the game Friday night. I love it. If I could buy a ticket for $500 and immediately resell it for $1000, I would be spending all my time figuring out how to buy more tickets for $500. Run that scam a half dozen times, then I get to kill a $3000 hooker in April.
March 24, 20232 yr You don't kill hookers in April, you fucking heathen. That's Easter month. You don't want 'em coming back from the dead to tell your friends what you did. Everybody knows...you kill 'em in December since they have nobody to go home to anyway.
