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

[MarkInAustin]

I was always all in on Sean Miller but the turnaround from Tennessee is a sign of real coaching.

What a win for the Longhorns!

Really great to see what Sean Miller can do.  Can’t wait to see when his plan is fully implemented.

The real test is can they do it the next game?

This season will be scrapping as many W's as possible.

It's about the future for me though.

Finally! How hard did the refs try to take it from them?

Now get Smothers and Coleman for the meltdown from the Bama faithful. Great win and 🤘

Finally!!  They showed so much heart and Texas Fight — the stupid reviews….     I didn’t think reffing could be worse than the Big 12.   I was so wrong.    SWC basketball refs are simply terrible and inconsistent

[Realist Horn]

Texas goes into Tuscaloosa and take the game, their RB commit, and visiting WR

Great bounceback road conference win for Sean Miller and the boys. Gritty.  #hookem

Not impressed with Swain. Wish he would have given up six or seven points to Texas last year. They backed way off him because he can’t shoot. Mark lost all confidence in his shot during the second half. He played defense though and that’s why they need from him!

[Sugabread]

Tx wins.  Now Coleman picks tx.  Wish it was that easy

Great gutty win. Anyone that thinks we get fair shake with refs in any sport is clueless.

I think I like S. Miller more now than when he was hired. The record is what it is as this point. He’s going to build it his way. If you don’t like it, go play somewhere else. It may take a while but the future is bright for Longhorn  basketball.

This is far and away the worst I’ve seen the appeal/challenge issue impact a game.

To be fair this is my first game of the year and I’m only watching to see if I could spot Coleman front row…😂

Our mods are always talking about how undisciplined we are in football.  Being 135 out of 136 teams in penalties. And IU third fewest. Call me paranoid but if you took IU total program and put them in Austin with Burnt Orange Jersey and horn on the helmet, they would not be even close to third.

Super impressed with the way these guys played today. Coach Miller has this team improving slowly but surely. He certainly is a no nonsense kinda guy. 

Great win for the boys.

[Neil Leininger]

Nice run at the end from the FT line to take the game. Excellent job by Miller, and he even threw in his own "Get in the portal," before tip off.

We need this type of effort from Pope and Mark in every game moving forward (not necessarily the total points). They have to score more for this to have any chance in this league.

[Leveller]

If you make Alabama play basketball, they struggle. Let them run and they can overwhelm you.

Mark is always going to run hot and cold on offense. Clearly Coach Miller got him to play defense. He was solid all night. Don’t let your offense affect your defense.
