Didn’t you yourself say that this team will lose 2-3 conference games if their free throw rate doesn’t increase? Now Couple that with how allergic this team is in getting defensive rebounds.

Yes. But Baylor is good team. Texas won the rebounding battle against a good team

This is young team, that has to grow.

I told people the Mikey Lewis injury was big too ... but too many people just say "next man up" ... it's a key injury.

Outstanding win. Clean a few things up and will be very dangerous. Like u said when we get Mikey back that will help us tremendously

Good win! outside shooting has to be way better for this team. Evan’s has several wide open looks and missed. Punch has to give us more too. Good thing is that the talent is there to get better imo

Texas will be play similar to Arizona last year.

And they were 40% from three today. Mikey adds more attempts, and makes, but that will not what Texas in for the most part.

Mo Bamba currently has 16 points 4-4 from 3 still 8 minutes left in 2nd Q vs the Spurs.

Not pretty.

Gutty. (if that's a word)

I'll take it!

Crazy to think we will only get better as the team continues to gel, freshmen gain more experience and Mikey Lewis coming back in SEC play. Just stay healthy 🤘

I didn’t I knew it was a huge deal. He’s a proven perimeter shooter and can get to the rim. He’s also a guy that can make free throws.

Are you posting this in the game thread because it's against the Spurs and the team played in San Antonio? It's not the same as posting about Kobe Bryant, but there's tangential similarities.

Man, great weekend to be a Longhorn.

Mamba was a Longhorn. Figured if people were hungry to watch more hoops after a great Texas win they might want to check it out. He's playing well. Sorry if it offended you.

It’s amazing how good Spears Jr is and he’s still at the beginning.

I didn’t know he was back in the league.

If you're only looking at this a a 3 point win against an unranked team then you're missing the growth. Does anyone remember the exhibition against St Johns? That game plus this hard fought win is what prepares you for March. It seems irrelevant right now, but I say Texas faced a tough test and had found answers.

Baylor is also likely a tournament team. This is going to be a Q1 win all season. Currently a Q1, Baylor's NET is 50, it will be going up, they are a solid squad for sure. Texas is likely going to have a much stronger OOC than we originally thought. Georgetown, UCLA, and Memphis are all better than what most originally thought.

I loved the win. I love the experience of closing it out at the end. Baylor got a second and third chance on that last possession and Texas didn't give them a good shot any of those times.

I don't need double digit wins against good teams. Any time we can close it out and have a winning scoreboard I'll take it.

It didn't offend me. I figured it would be good for the season basketball thread. It's just jarring to see people commenting specifically on the game and then here comes a Mo Bamba comment. It's like I'm a bird flying through the air and I smacked right into a sliding glass window.

But you can post about Mo Bamba any time you want as far as I'm concerned. I mean, I'll make fun of you, but I make fun of all kinds of things. It's not an exclusive club.

That pick and roll to Matas is a great stable for late game situations. Should have been an +1.

Good bookend for the opening play where Johnson flashed to the basket off the pick and Vokietaitas tossed him the ball for an easy 2.

I did not know that. Thank you.
