Hoops: Texas vs. No. 22 Missouri Game Thread


Recommended Posts

Nice win.

We have played three ranked teams in conference home games.  We lost to two top 5 teams in games that were within one possession with less than 2 minutes to go.  We just beat a top 25 team by 8 points.  And didn't have Weaver in any of it.

Burying this team is dumb.  Thinking they can be world beaters is wishful thinking, but let them have their wins, recognize their chances to make the tournament, and understand they have never played at full strength this year.

Now let's go out and trash the Agroids Saturday.

If you told me before the game that Tre, Mark and Pope were going to play like this? I would have said it’s a blowout then. Role players were huge!

Won and ugly one but this is who this team is. If they can ugly games up, they will have a chance. Missouri killed themselves on the line. On to the next one! Hook ‘Em!

More like we beat them on the boards and played mostly turnover free over the last 15 minutes.   We had 14 offensive rebounds tonight.  That was huge in this win.

You should have quoted my earlier post about Shedrick and Kent stepping up big tonight for that.

Man you basically described him perfectly. Thank god he showed us something different. 

Who are you talking about here?  Shedrick only showed us rebounding and free throw shooting which were things he was pretty good at while at UVA.   He fought like hell for some loose balls, so that was a big contribution.  Or are you talking about Larry being better than he was Saturday?  Kent had a better game today but was still a no-show on the boards. 

This was a team defense win all the way.  We held Missouri to 53 points.  It scored 83 in each of its last two games.
