Men’s Hoops: Texas vs. No. 13 Alabama game thread

[Jeff Howe]

Texas (9-6, 0-2 SEC) is looking for its first win in conference play under Sean Miller tonight when the Longhorns visit No. 13 Alabama (11-4, 1-1) in Tuscaloosa.

It’s a 7 p.m. start on ESPN.

Will be watching in Brisbane. Would love for them to get a win with Coleman watching!

[DrunkBevo]

When do we hire beard back?

[bourbasted]

They look good so far.  Playing hard and doing good work on the inside.

[Dread-headed Texan]

Did I read here that Texas was gonna shuffle the starters? Did they and who was replaced?

[Layton_Sharp]

We are playing very solid right now. Sure hope we can keep this up.  Need some good momentum for the basketball program.

[Dread-headed Texan]

Back in my day that hop step was a travel

[CJ Vogel]

Playing very fast offensively.  It’s led to great looks inside 

[Jeff Howe]

Approaching the four-minute mark of the first half and Texas leads Alabama by nine, 43-34.

This could be a factor for Cam if we beat 'Bama in T Town. I doubt it but couldn't hurt. HOOK 'EM 🤘 🤘 

[Dread-headed Texan]

Chendall is becoming my favorite player on this team.

[Boston_Conner2]

Best defense I’ve seen Texas play all year… besides the 2 fouls on 3 point shots 

[harveycmd]

We got some balls. "You play for Sean Miller."

[MarkInAustin]

Weaver, Mark, Heide, Wilcher, Traore:  Weaver his usual outstanding defense and flying, Mark the Dr, Jekyll side showed up, Wilcher defending, Traore having his first really good game, Heide bouncing - Miller may have gotten through to them.

[Jeff Howe]

This is the best effort and focus/intensity I've seen from Texas this season.

[MasTecate]

Playing hard!!!  Keep it up 🤘

They played pretty good defense against Duke(my squad) and UCONN, no?

One….

Swain’s was 💩

[CJ Vogel]

Great effort from Traore. Multiple offensive rebounds and keeping possessions alive

[bourbasted]

Maybe Cam will leave after the first half.  The Bama crowd is not giving any energy.  Don't want to see them come back in the second half.

[Dread-headed Texan]

Even Texas basketball players out there committing 15 yard penalties 

[CJ Vogel]

Just a dumb foul from Swain

[Shivam Patel]

@Jeff HoweHow was that a technical foul that was weak?

[Jeff Howe]

The technical foul on Swain and the four subsequent foul shots allow Alabama to make it a five-point game, 45-40, with 1:54 left in the half.

The full-extension shove is what did it.
