[Jeff Howe]

Getting the ball in and across half court shouldn’t be this hard.

Can’t even break a press here out of a time out. I’m lost

I think RT’s even more lost than you

Screw SEC championships or sweet 16 appearances, the standard for the new coach should be understanding how to break a press.

Rodney Terry too clutch man

[Jeff Howe]

Can they protect a five-point lead with 7.8 seconds left?

Loser leaves town match on Saturday?

Did we hold Eric Dampier in check?

I cannot believe how difficult breaking the press looked for Texas tonight. 

actually I can believe it, but my goodness was that infuriating.

Two pages of post and NOT ONE POST, gave the dang score!

Kept him off the boards and Jeff Malone missed a few key shots.

Glad to see the win. 

The 2-2-1 zone press is the most difficult to break in basketball when it is well executed.  But it is also well known and should be practiced against before playing an opponent skilled in it.

Beat OU at home.  Maybe get Chendall back?  One game at a time.

Boy, she was ugly, but a win is a win. I'll take it!

Yep. Agreed.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Rodney Terry wasn’t just coaching for his job and extending the season but to shut up folks like me who have been critical all season. 

One thing he doesn’t do is lose to Oklahoma and the Horns desperately need that win this weekend.

We got the win, but that last 4 minutes of regulation was just terrible.  A win over OU and even the last invitation to the tourney isn't going to erase this season.

We have a heartbeat. Who knows what team shows up against OU. Texas has no point guard. Tre should bring the ball up. If Texas could just get Pope or Mark to get 15 or more they can win.
