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

What a win on the road for the Miller Era. 
 

That being said, this is one of the worst defensive teams in recent memory. We are far from the junkyard Barnes defenses. Granted, also far from some of those offenses 😆 
 

hook em! Hopefully this gets some momentum.

Great win. Now maybe the home crowd will show up like they do for the girls.

I guess Sean Miller finally got the guys to stop "walking across the street". LOL Good win. They were much more athletic on defense tonight especially with blocks and Pope and Mark show lights out. Hope they can build off this win and keep getting better.

Call this an overreaction and you'd probably be fair. BUT I think this could be a hinge moment for the Miller era.

He has put his team on blast in the national media—rightfully so, IMO, but that's a version of pushing all your chips in. If you can't back it up yourself, and earn that grudging respect from college kids, then you're just a blowhard whose days are numbered. 

Today's win gives him "proof of concept" and for that reason is a MASSIVE deal, way disproportionate to the one game itself. It's Miller time!

You can tell Coach Miller stuck a big boot up the teams' 🍑 and left it wedged sideways after that embarrassing Tennessee loss. For all those who questioned Coach Miller... what we saw tonight was how he used to play. White boy had serious 🌰z... and he competed hard.. and never backed down. What he lacked in athletic abilities.. he compensated for it with toughness and heart. The team played in the image of their coach... and that's the beginning of establishing a culture. 🤘🏿

Impressive win at the end of a long week with a lot of travel. 🤘

I just watched the game and there were plenty of moments they could have folded, but didn't.  The effort in the last quarter was right on. They have the pieces to win if they play better defense! They have a bunch of dudes that can score. Pope was really good tonight .
