Hoops: Texas vs. Chris Beard Game Thread

[Jordan91]

Pointless foul by Mark has led to this. 

[bierce]

Codie couldn't get it to fall from point blank range.

Solid first half ruined in two minutes 

[Matthew Toming]

Jayson Kent needs to turn in his jersey 

[TarrantCoHorn]

That was fun for awhile. At least we’re still up

vintage Kaluma

Kaluma--get out of my way or get knocked to the floor while I score.

Has not played so it’s a quick nervous shot.

Typical Texas game.  We're up 4 on the road against a ranked team.  And we have posters who only chime in when the other team scores.

Damn, people.  We won consecutive games against top 20 teams.  We're ahead on the road against a ranked team.  Try to see at least a little good in there, will you?

I know I've criticized the bad plays when I saw them--Larry dribbling off his foot, Kent throwing a rebound away, Kaluma bricking a horrible shot, etc.

This team isn't perfect.  No team plays perfectly all game long.

We're winning so far.  Don't hate on that.

Liked what I saw from Pryor.   Some of the loss of Weaver is mitigated, but more important, Pryor is learning to play aggressively and within the game.

Life on the road in the SEC. Let’s see if they can get this one.

3 and 1/2 good games.

#3 for Ole Miss is a confident and dangerous shooter.

[bierce]

I like Pryor.  I liked him as an under the radar recruit.  I saw a guy with hops and a nice shooting touch from the perimeter who could become a force later in his career.  I failed in my attempt to explain that to posters elsewhere about 19 months ago.

That he is.  He's also a senior who completely punted Mississippi's last possession in the first half against Missouri.  I was left wondering how many new a-holes our posters would have torn Terry if Larry had done that.

[bierce]

Nice pull up by Mark. 

[bierce]

Three possessions, two of them crappy by us to start this half.  Got Kaluma trapped in the corner.  Got the pull up by Mark.  Got no good looks on #3.  Need to get the offense going.

[bierce]

Now Johnson goes 1 on 1 against the world after we got the offensive rebound.

If I was Terry,  I would call a timeout now and try to get things settled on offense.

[bierce]

Shedrick with a heel on the arc.  Otherwise that was a charge.

[bierce]

Horrible shot by Mark. 

[bierce]

How was that not a foul on Mississippi for bowling Larry over?

[bierce]

We have bad Pope tonight.

[MarkInAustin]

The first baseline play to and by Pope was a good one but he missed a 6 foot shot.  Then he ran out of bounds on the second one before he got off a pass.

And as soon as I say that, he hits a three.

Time for me to rag on other players.
