December 29, 20231 yr Road win at Arkansas but also home losses to High Point and Marshall. They shoot the 3 at a pretty high level (even higher if you include their 2 games against non-D1 opponents).
December 30, 20231 yr Author no lowell. we’re all winners tonight. UNCG lost their top scorer three games ago and are 1-2 since.

December 30, 20231 yr So damn good to see Mitchell going to the floor on 50/50 balls. It sets a tone.
December 30, 20231 yr WTF We are running a pick and roll offense against a 3-2 zone. Just put Brock at the FT line and Disu on the baseline.

December 30, 20231 yr 9 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: Horton should not be getting minutes on a Texas basketball team I was just about to say something about Hortons defense improving, and then the guy drives right past him for a layup. SMH. 🤦
December 30, 20231 yr Author UNCG throws the ball out of bounds the guy who threw it out of bounds yells at his teammate for it everyone on the court walks down to the other end because of the turnover the referee: “uncg ball!” 4 minutes ago, BigTEAMLittleme said: Am I the only one who gets frustrated by Abmas? nope. his basketball IQ is lower than i thought it would be, and he’s pretty limited outside of scoring. also frustrating that he basically never gets to the line.

December 30, 20231 yr Horton and Abmas on the floor together is a big negative for us on the defensive end
December 30, 20231 yr Am I the only one who gets frustrated by Abmas?No. He has not played up to his resume and hype yet … he’s been below average on defense and handling the ball and his shot selection has been less than expected so far
December 30, 20231 yr Overall good half defensively. Offensive issues when they went zone for a few minutes but the defense was much better. The length with the big lineup (Mitchell, Disu, and Shedrick) gave us more length on the perimeter and inside. Maybe that's what we need.
December 30, 20231 yr Author tyrese was a one man highlight reel that half. the rest of the team-eh. but man, that was his best half of play in a long time.
December 30, 20231 yr Just now, Hookem2147 said: Great intensity on the defensive end pretty much that entire half Definitely improvement there
December 30, 20231 yr Just now, Hookem2147 said: Great intensity on the defensive end pretty much that entire half Agreed. The offense stalling out when UNC-G switched to zone was frustrating, but the defensive effort is much more important.
December 30, 20231 yr We only gave up 1 open 3 and 1 mid range jumper that half. Everything else was contested. We need more of that defensive effort.
December 30, 20231 yr 5 minutes ago, Braff Zacklin said: Agreed. The offense stalling out when UNC-G switched to zone was frustrating, but the defensive effort is much more important. It makes a little sense. This big lineup (Disu, Shedrick, and Mitchell) has only played probably 5 minutes together all season. Trying to figure out spacing against the zone.
December 30, 20231 yr I hate to be that guy but UNC Greensboro's run also started right when Horton came into the game. He got the hook after a few minutes. It was also the Horton and Abmas combo again that ignited the run. RT has to stop playing these two together.

I honestly am not understanding what Horton is doing to get minutes over others they have on the bench.
December 30, 20231 yr I hope this game is a lesson for Abmas. He's not doing much offensively but he's giving great effort defensively. You can win playing this way. Scoring 20 with zero defense doesn't do anything for you.
December 30, 20231 yr Amazing what happens when our guards prevent dribble penetration. This is the best they've defended all year.
December 30, 20231 yr Even 80% of tonight’s Hunter with the three bigs clicking on the court makes this team look like one with a viable sweet 16 chance
December 30, 20231 yr Texas found something with this big lineup. Just so much more length and completely disrupting UNC Greensboro on the defensive end.

December 30, 20231 yr 3 minutes ago, BigTEAMLittleme said: I would feel a lot better about that sentiment if I knew Texas defense would play consistently as well as it has tonight. Thing is I think it's somewhat sustainable. It's amazing what happens when Horton's lack of defense is just sitting on the bench and not hurting the team.
December 30, 20231 yr Author love seeing mitchell pass up the open three with uncg daring him to take it. three seconds later he’s got an offensive rebound and a bucket. disu with his third three of the game.
December 30, 20231 yr I'm somewhat convinced this team can be a good defensive team if they simply don't play Horton.
