Texas theoretically still alive for the tourney but I'm not sure anyone here expects a win. 

I gotta clean the sock lint from the corners of my toenails. Might tune in once I’m finished.

Kudos for thread title. Made me laugh. 

Texas IS still alive for the tourney. All they need to do is win the conference tournament (a la NC State, "Survive and Advance")

Not going to hold my breath, and for the first time in many years, not sure I would want that, in that we need a new coach, and that would cloud the picture for the administration.

If up to me, I am ready to call it a year and skip the NIT and find a winner for next year.

I think a win tonight and win against OU and a conf tourney win and TX probably gets in. Definitely don't need to win the conference tourney (yet).

But I think they get killed again tonight, so, there's that.

It's like killing Dracula.

Stake through heart, the Arkansas game.

Cut off the head, the South Carolina or Georgia game if you prefer.

Drag the body out in the sunlight and reduce it to ashes, losing in the SEC Tournament.

I’d close the drapes if they were playing on our cul-de-sac basket.

There is nothing of interest until the new coach is named.

This is going well (for RT’s firing)

This team just does nothing but jack up 3s. No shot selection, no offense, nothing 

Weird, cameras are shooting the wrong side of the arena.
Or the players "bench" is on the wrong side of the arena.
Either way, I don't remember the last time we didn't see players & coaches in the foreground chairs.

I don't understand what's going on.
Why aren't we losing yet?

Happens quite a bit. LSU is the same way. So is Duke.

How 'bout that.  I don't care about either team, so haven't seen it before.  
It's good for the fans in the arena.  
I wonder what goes into the decision where they choose to shoot the cameras like that though, vs. 99% of the rest of the ball world.

If the SECT started today, we would get to lose to Arkansas for a 3rd time!

"Hostage dribble" said the announcer

Per the AI:

""Hostage dribble" means a player dribbling low and close to their body to protect the ball from defenders, especially in pick-and-roll situations. It's about ball security and control in tight spaces."
 

The effort is not great at this point, but I've seen worse. It's just so blatant that this team is poorly coached on both sides of the ball.

You know - I thought the folks suggesting this could be a top 10 roster were crazy but it really isn't that far off. I mean shit, at times these guys have played top 25 ball and that's with a crappy coaching staff. 

Someone really good probably has them 9-7 or better in the SEC.

This. Constantly out of position. Not stopping the ball. Standing around watching. 

Speaking of hostage dribble…Watching this game I have developed Stockholm Syndrome

Uh Huh Yes GIF

I keep waiting for this team to do something — ANYthing — well several times in a row. It just doesn't happen. And that makes for some long, maddening stretches of almost unwatchable ball. Sigh.

I always expect a win.

Apparently all we do is shoot FTs well 

Kaluma with a heady play there. I take back my below intellectual functioning comment. My bad.

75% and 75th in the nation... is an improvement over past teams.

Man... I'm kind of pissed. Tre is getting so fucking good - all this team had to do was hang around in conference and snag like a 5 or 6 seed and they could have rolled the dice and maybe made some crazy run. 

Oh well.

yeah tre deserves better then this team. if you threw him on any of the top 10-15 teams he could take them over the top. sadly his one season here will hardly be remembered due to the total ineptitude and apparent lack of give-a-fuck from the rest of our team and staff. that said, i’m so glad we got him for this one year. special player.

And you just know he'd be good in the tourney. Kid doesn't give a fuck and I can't remember the last stinker he had - it's been 6 or 7 games I think. 

We cannot hit a layup lol
