March 14Mar 14 Author Awesome first half. Just keep hanging around and see what happens down the stretch. Need to defend the rim a bit better and be better on the defensive glass. We can beat these guys.
March 14Mar 14 Lanier went apeshit and Tre has 5 points. Just reverse that for the 2nd half and ol' lip-lickin' Barnes will be right where we want him.
March 14Mar 14 Should probably come up with a plan to stop Lanier, and another one to get Tre the ball.

March 14Mar 14 If you'd told me three days ago that we'd be trailing TN by 3 at the half today, I'd have thought about what sort of head trauma you must have suffered.
March 14Mar 14 Not able to watch yet but how does Tre only have 3 shots in the first half!? Edited March 14Mar 14 by 4th&Five
March 14Mar 14 1 minute ago, ClubWhatever said: Does Terry ever bench players for bad shots? Not that I've seen. So of course he thinks he has the green light. Only certain guys. The standards are not the same across the board. Pope is not one of them, so yes he thinks he has the green light.

Need to do a better job guarding Lanier but I don't mind what we're doing with Tre. They're over helping on Tre. At the end of the half, Mark realized that if he just drove to Tre's side of the court they were not going to help off of him. Wide open layups and penetration.

March 14Mar 14 1 minute ago, 4th&Five said: Not able to watch yet but how does Tre only have 3 shots in the first half!? One reason is Mark is still doing a good job of running some kind of offense. He is distributing the ball and still getting his own shots too. It's why Texas is still in the game.
March 14Mar 14 Just now, ztejas said: Este. Gainey can't stay in front of Mark. It was pretty clear what we were doing offensively to end the half. They were isolating Mark and Tre on one side of the court because they know Mashak is not going to leave Tre. It was working too. Now it might be a different story once Ziegler is back in the game.

March 14Mar 14 Down by 3 with Lanier outscoring Tre by 14? I'll take it. I don't think he's gonna put that margin up again in the next half. Enjoy it. We're a borderline Round of 32 team. They're a borderline Final Four team.

Now it might be a different story once Ziegler is back in the game. I wish they would have played like this all season. But that's part of the problem. I like Terry and he's really easy to root for. Just isn't quite the standard Texas is looking for. I hope he fucking kills it wherever he lands. Assuming Texas doesn't make a bad hire and never looks back.

We're just a much better team with Mark at PG. Crazy it took this long to figure it out or we wouldn't even be close to a bubble team.

I don't think the two are necessarily related. A bad hire is a bad hire. Regardless of the hire, it looks like Texas should move on from RT. You can make the right decision in looking for a different coach but get the hire wrong. That's how I would look at it, anyways. That's why I hope there's no uncertainly with it. Go pay for a proven name. Let there be no ambiguity about the decision. Edited March 14Mar 14 by MuellerHorn

Texas going to elite 8 and Terry getting a 6 year extension, no?
March 14Mar 14 Bilas … “if Texas cleans up the turnovers.” Like they’re going to get that straight after 30 games?

It would be harder to cheer for Terry if he goes somewhere else and does well and Texas fucks the hire up. But I'm more confident in CDC making a good hire than I am RT doing really well somewhere else.
March 14Mar 14 We may have a plan to stop Lanier, so now they are going to run Zeigler and we won't adjust Edited March 14Mar 14 by chemHORN
March 14Mar 14 dumb move having Tre covering their PG... he's weak on defense and needs not to burn energy and fouls trying to cover their PG.

I wasn't really considering the first part of your statement re: Terry going somewhere else and killing it; just what happens at Texas. But yes, Terry going elsewhere killing it and Texas performing poorly would be a real kick in the nuts. I doubt that complete scenario plays out though.

March 14Mar 14 The Tennessee guy with the poop colored dreds reminds me of this everytime they say his name:
March 14Mar 14 College basketball is crazy cause there’s a dude that’s 5’9 on the court and the offense isn’t attacking him every time.
