OTF Premium Men's Hoops: Texas vs. Mississippi State (5 p.m., SEC Network)

[Jeff Howe]

Wilcher tried to contest a shot, but he's called for a foul with 3.1 seconds left on the clock.

[Jeff Howe]

It's a 20-point half for Josh Hubbard as Swain's desperation three clangs off the iron at the horn.

[Jeff Howe]

HALFTIME: Mississippi State 48, Texas 43

[d_red39]

This team is HARD to watch on the defensive side of the ball 

[TexasMDcoach]

Putrid team defense.

Almost always a battle in year one.

Why I have posted all season ... coaches that didn't make the NCAA Tournament in year one in the portal era

Danny Hurley at UConn, Todd Golden at Florida, Nate Oats at Alabama, Rick Pitino at St. John's, Chris Beard at Ole Miss, Mick Cronin at UCLA, the angry guy at Illinois ... it's never a given in year one

Considering what is currently happening at Ole Miss, probably don’t want to include him. 

[TXRocks]

Horns missed 3 of free throws in the last 4 minutes before half that would have made it look a lot closer game. 

[texcoyote15]

I’ve watched every game this year and we give up a huge amount of points on layups or right around the rim. They beat our defenders off the dribble and just go to the rim with it

[Gerry Hamilton]

Todd Golden year one at Florida ... 16-17 ... some of them

Lost to FAU 74-76 

Lost to West Virginia 55-84

Lost to UConn 54-75

Lost to Kansas State 50-64

Lost to Alabama 69-97

Lost to Arkansas 65-84

Lost to Vanderbile 72-88

Lost to UCF in NIT 49-67

Pretty decent coach.

Got to build your program. 

 

[Shmatt]

How about that Vanderbilt team! 

[Jordan91]

Well this is a must win game considering the next three games. 

[Gerry Hamilton]

Danny Hurley year one at UConn ... 16-17 ... wild to look back at

Yes. Got to scratch and claw to get to 9-9 to have legit chance at tournament. SEC is not as potent as last year.

I could be wrong, but I think I see Chris Jackson with some kids halfway up Section 105. (I’m in 104.)

Im in 106  Trying to see where they are at

I know we don’t agree on this, and never will, but some of these comparisons are not fair and you know it. The rules of play and roster building around college basketball have changed 10000% since Oats, Hurley, Cronin and Underwood took over.

Just wish this team gave us a reason to be excited to come to the arena or watch on TV. Other than the NC State game, rarely see entertaining basketball that excites the fans. Being bad is one thing; being almost unwatchable is a tough sell.

Maybe Coach Miller didn’t think it would look like this. He’s been really frustrated lately.

We had the perfect deal with Beard/Texas and he blew it. I doubt I’ll ever get over it. We were on our way to winning big.

Have you seen his team this year?

[Gerry Hamilton]

Texas has to find a stretch four in the portal after the season IMO

 

But this season will bvery likely be looked back upon with the missed two FT's late by Swain vs. ASU

And Texas has fouled 7-8 times on three-point attempts this year. So much momentum killing fouls, and dumb fouls

[horns96]

Who get's credit for an "own goal" in basketball? The last player who touched the ball for the team awarded the points?
