Hoops: Texas at LSU Game Thread

Recommended Posts

Don't look now (or do), but Pomeroy now favors us to win all but two of our remaining games, and he has us in a one point loss at home to Bama and a 3 point loss @ Mississippi State.  Most margins of victory are small, so he rounds the percentages to predict us to finish 9-9 in conference, but I would note that we have beaten Pomeroy's prediction in four straight games.  I don't think we're going to do anything like win out, but this team has played very well of late. 

And the players and the coach should be given credit for it.

Pryor is someone Terry was ridiculed for recruiting.  He was an under the radar guy who was not only under the radar but reclassified to start a year early.  It was expected he wouldn't play at all last year, but he got a few minutes. 

On another site, most posters thought it was a waste of a scholarship, but I told them from the beginning that I saw a guy with major hops and agility and a nice shooting form from the perimeter.  I saw a really good player there in about 2 1/2 -- 3 years.

He might be a year ahead of schedule. 

Certainly looks the part.  Thanks for the recap!

100%. 

Every game is a big one ... but Arkansas this week in Austin certainly is ... almost a must win. Texas getting to 5-5 in SEC play before the very tough three game stretch of @ Vanderbilt, Alabama and Kentucky would be huge. 

A win over Arky and Texas will get to 8-10 for sure IMO. Then it's about the chances to finish 9-9 or even 10-8 if the Horns can beat a Kentucky team at home that is terrific on O and the opposite on D.

No, Pomeroy still has us an 8 point favorite in Austin, which seems more than just a tad high, but Arky was terrible on the road in before last night.

Arkansas shot really well. Let’s see if that is the case in Austin. That team wanted to beat Kentucky for their coach.

We rose to 25th in Net rankings this morning.  We're 4-6 in q1 games, thanks to LSU hanging on to the 75th spot, but don't expect them to stay there.  Their remaining home schedule is brutal, including Florida, Tennessee, A&M, and Mississippi.

It's not like Texas can't make its own way.
