OTF Premium SEC Hoops Game Thread: Texas vs. Texas A&M

[Jeff Howe]

Can't ask for two better looks than the ones Heide and Mark got after breaking the press.

[Jeff Howe]

Good lord. Swain picks up his second at the 16:35 mark.

[Jeff Howe]

On the floor: Pope, Weaver, Mark, Heide and Codie

[Jeff Howe]

Texas 7, A&M 3

15:55 to go, 1H

Ridiculous officiating.  Can’t tell whether incompetent or corrupt

Just ridiculous fouls for Volkietaitis. 

It has nothing to do with him being new to the game. He’s just dumb. He has done this the entire year! 

[JMarquette]

SEC officiating is just dog sh*t in all sports

Point is Matas has to know not to pick up the second foul. You are a foul magnet. Don’t dive for a ball and keep your hands straight up. 

[Jeff Howe]

No Swain, no Matas, but Texas leads 10-3 after Mark's three-point play.

There’s nothing special about Bucky Ball, it’s literally how kids in AAU play. It’s a slightly more organized chaos, if you break the press, you will win by double digits.

[Jeff Howe]

Helluva defensive play by Codie, when it looked like Agee was about to throw one down.

[Jeff Howe]

That's how you bounce back from a 5-second violation. Force a shot-clock violation.

[Jeff Howe]

I'd expect the Aggies to hunt buckets at the rim, knowing Texas doesn't want to get deeper into foul trouble.

[Jeff Howe]

Did Clemence grab at Weaver's leg on that one?

[Jeff Howe]

Weaver's three-point play pushes the lead back to eight, 16-8.

[Dread-headed Texan]

I am by no means a Texas Longhorn basketball fan, but how can you not love the heart and hustle Weaver plays with.

None of that changes the refs being horrendous 

[Jeff Howe]

Nic Codie is doing pretty dang commendable job on Agee.

Lol you give em some praise and he regards me with a turnover

Texas 16, A&M 10

Nice block from Codie. 

As long as he stays out of the whistle, these are great minutes.

[CJ Vogel]

Texas has to get more out of Cam Heide

With you on that. Its ridiculous. 

[JMarquette]

This is how first game played out, we need to get up now because we know these clowns will start hitting shots soon enough.
