ChanmanV Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We shooting lights out right now but Baylor hanging in. Weaver in foul trouble will keep this close. Mitchell has to run out on Bridges. He’s a sharpshooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanmanV Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Survived with a healthy lead to halftime with Weaver and Disu in foul trouble. Bodes well in the 2nd half when they are back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothinButDaHorns34 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Color me surprised with how this team has played the first half of this game, But it’s gotta continue into the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermanator Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Team completely lost focus once Baylor went to a 1-3-1 and Disu went down. Very bad offensive sets and poor defensive rotations. Teams that make runs in the tourney can't lose focus like this. This team is close but not quite good enough outside of Abmas who can't win it by himself.

Titleist8412 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I don’t like dumping on our players, but Shedrick got absolutely abused. They targeted him over and over in the second half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Disu the absolute upside would be sweet 16, without, win one is the best. Makes a huge difference but this bunch wasn’t going too far anyway.

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 5 Author Moderators Share Posted March 5 Zero chance to make noise without Disu. And just when Texas was starting to play their best/maximize what they have, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Maislin Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 @Gerry Hamilton, what % of UT disappointing on the hard wood this year has been a lacking roster vs Terry not being up for the challenge of the job in game? Couldn't help but notice he again chose to not utilize a TO as we let the game slip away last night on Baylor's big 20-4 run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The freshman both bailing really hurt the roster construction, and Shedrick/Weaver/Disu all being hurt during the offseason hurt as well. IMO we need to see how this offseason goes and how next season turns out. If he can get a good team next year between returning players/freshman signees/portal players than he may have a shot at sticking around. This roster was poorly constructed but it is what it is and it’s hard to know how much losing those freshman hurt RT’s vision for this team. Development has been hit and miss. Hunter seems like he has regressed. Weaver is getting better and better. Mitchell has developed but not as much as I hoped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point, you can't turn over your roster every year in the portal. If you take a Kelvin Sampson approach you will have a better baseline. The only HS kid that signed with Texas and has been the program more than one year is Alex Anamewke and Mitchell, that just isn't sustainable long term. compare that to Houston who has Shead, Sharp, Roberts, Francis, Arceneaux, and Walker. All key contributors though Arceneaux and Walker have been injured this season. Edited March 5 by Neil Leininger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDakHornsFan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 @Gerry Hamilton Of course hindsight is 20/20 but if you were making the hire last spring would you have hired RT, or hired someone else who reasonably would’ve took the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
