November 23, 20187 yr What a game! Lotta heart out there tonight. Now about to see Tucker nail that kick in Gomerland. Great day for Longhorn sports.

November 23, 20187 yr 6 minutes ago, Radical Larry said: That's about like me whining that K State working us in football so often is "unexplainable." There's generally an explanation for that kind of dominance. Losing 8 of 9 isn't some fluky thing where the losing team always has an outbreak of food poisoning the night before. I'm sure not saying we kick NC's tail around the gym when we play them, because they're pretty much always nailbiters. But we've had some really lackluster teams in that period, and we've still managed to keep winning those games. Methinks the press can just deal with it.
November 23, 20187 yr Baseball -- CWS Women's hoops (top 10ish) Texas hoops (just beat a final 4ish team) Texas football (about to play for the B12 Championahip) We musta hired a new athletic director.

We almost always match up well against Roy Williams-coached teams.

November 23, 20187 yr I know, I was kidding. Anyway -- Texas sports is experiencing a surge. Back to the mid 2000s ?? Why not.
November 23, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Goo Punch said: we think that pull up jumpers are tough shots because it's been so long since we've had anybody who could hit one. the shots UNC has hit have been "tough" the same way that a 3B turning a 5-4-3 DP vs Mookie Betts is tough; yeah, it isn't easy, but you're expected to do it as a baseball/basketball player. Unless you're Texas. I’d say turning a double play on Mookie is quite a bit harder, even when adjusting expectations between a collegiate player versus a professional.
November 23, 20187 yr Hell of a job horns. That was an awesome game. Roach played out of his mind. Keep it up. Bout to turn me into a believer! Regardless that game will be worth a seed or 2 come March.
November 23, 20187 yr I'm in the arena and that was a great team win. Carolina fans sitting next to me were not happy. If we can get that Roach every game we will be hard to beat. Looking forward to the game tomorrow.
November 23, 20187 yr I think Febres is getting overlooked some. The guy is playing some really good basketball. With him hitting his shots this year it is really starting to help open up the floor for Roach and Coleman.

November 23, 20187 yr Great win. UNC probably doesn’t want to schedule us anymore LOL. Good luck to the Horns. Great start.

November 23, 20187 yr Goddamn Kerwin was on another level tonight. I’m happily eating crow - I never thought he’d really be able to put it together like this. The kid has clearly worked his ass off after investigating his draft prospects.

No excuses, but K-state didn't have to play us in '03,'04,'07,'08... Good job on scheduling by them. Bad job by CU. Edited November 23, 20187 yr by Fico
November 23, 20187 yr If the NCAA were smart Roach would be the most hyped player going forward. A Sr who has truly improved leaps and bounds each season
November 23, 20187 yr UCLA is getting blasted by MSU tonight. Looks almost certain we'll see the Spartans tomorrow.

November 23, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, Texas25 said: Where does that performance by Roach rank all-time on individual performances? Ford, J'Covan Brown, KD, and Jordan Hamilton all had some good ones. J’Covan’s performance at Allen Fieldhouse in ‘11 is probably the best in a big win in recent memory, but this game by Roach is up there as well.
November 23, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, SDG said: UCLA isn’t good. No clue how they are ranked #17. That was a joke even before I saw this game based on how they've looked against Presbyterian, St Francis and LBSU.

November 23, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, NowThis said: Texas is also 8-1 against Bama in football Yeah, but that one really sucked
November 23, 20187 yr Sounds like the Brando I was listening to on Sirius was the actual tv okay by play. Christ he was horrible “...........OH MY THE IRON KIND FOR ROACH!........................UNC ball after the break.” Wtf
November 23, 20187 yr Michigan State is big, physical, smart and can shoot. I think our athleticism will give them issues though. The key will be dictating pace. Gotta make this an up and down game.

November 23, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, Whatever said: Kerwin was the best player on the court, and it wasn't close. It was close. Coby White was awesome, and the battle they had was epic. TJ Ford vs Nick Collison; TJ Ford vs Hollis Price; KD vs Acie Law; J'Covan Brown vs Willie Warren; Kerwin Roach vs Coby White. It was that good. Edited November 23, 20187 yr by Goo Punch
