Oh, hell yeah! The undefeated season starts tonight!

We gon' stick it so far up the Mavericks' asses, they'll think they're in Ardmore.

Roach to be ruled out 10 min before game time with a nasty case of the sniffles.

I'd start Ramey, Long, Febres, DO, and Hayes. 

Sub Coleman and Roach in liberally for Ramey, Long and Febres and go with the three of that group who are playing best after the half.

Give DO, Hepa, and Hamm as close to equal time in the first half and slant 2nd half playing time based on 1st half performance.

If Simms plays poorly when he comes in to spell Hayes, use DO and/or Hamm as the backup Center and let Hepa get more run at Forward. 

Throw Liddell in the mix too if Febres, Roach, Hepa and DO are not getting it done.

Since there has been little consistency in performance from game to game (save maybe Hayes), I think you have to start the 5 guys who played best the previous game for the next several games until someone earns a permanent spot in the rotation.  Starting Coleman, Roach, Febres, DO and Simms multiple games with certainly hasn't shown any point differential, chemistry, iq or passion benefits...  So, time to open the depth chart up (as should have been done after the first lackluster performance) on a game to game basis for a while.

There might be a basket.  I’d even wager a made three.

For 3 whole minutes and a 7-0 lead, then yank 4 of them off for subs

Chris Ogden is the HC at UTA. Texas is a 19 point favorite.

Chris O. was a favorite of mine. Defined White Men Can't Jump. But always a spark when he entered because he knew the fundamentals.

The effect of starting Hayes will be blunted if he can't stay out of foul trouble.

Cool.  Shaka decided Snoop gets to play tonight?

Even better he decided he’s the best option to flash in the high post against the zone

I think Hamm got a piece of that one. 

Looks like Sims still isn't really interested in playing basketball. 

Meh.

Shit, I totally forgot about this game what with a bunch of family stuff.  Score at half?

 

EDIT:  LowT Galindo just said it, 33-26

We start Jaxson Hayes for the first time and our first possession is a dunk. Hayes starts the second half and the first possession is a dunk. Hmm.

Seriously, I am so athletic my best sport is bowling, and I can make layups . . . from a nearly a foot lower than DO misses every one of them.

In the last 30 seconds DO has missed three point blank looks, then got absolutely stuffed by a guy 3 inches shorter than him, then dribbled the ball off his knee.

LOL.  I just walked in the door and turned it on it time to see this.  

DO misses fro point blank again. His shot chart must be hilarious.

Damn that was well put.  You should blog the game.

Despite Osetkowski's best efforts, we managed to double our lead in four minutes from 6 to 12.

Roach putting da team on his back doe.

Lowell and Lance just alluded to the fact that Roach wasn't actually sick. Surprised to hear them let that out.

That was nice from Ramey. Way to take advantage of the mismatch.

Good D Hepa.

and right back with the 3.

Thus far, the most improved sophomore on the team is the guy nobody expected to contribute coming into the season.

15:37 left in the game as Snoop scores and gets fouled.

His play from the O/W scrimmage has carried over.

I like that when he gets the ball down low his first action is towards the rim.  I mean, I know they're smaller than most teams, but still, only good can come from that.

We could have a very deep bench come tourney time. Of course we won’t use it correctly at all, if we get in.

The band should play yakkety sax every time DO touches the ball.

Unlike Sims, he looks like he has purpose in whatever he's doing.

I'm telling you man, give Eric Musselman this roster with Ramey, Long, Baker, Hamm, (hopefully) Sims, Hepa, et al and we would be in better shape overnight. A tourney team for sure.
