Arizona State sure can score. Moe Odum has 24 PTS on 6-9 shooting.

Sun Devils lead 98–94 over Washington State with ten seconds left.

[CJ Vogel]

Arizona State and USC in the Maui Invitational final

[CJ Vogel]

For anyone looking to make this a late night, God speed!

[CJ Vogel]

4-5 shooting to start for the Horns.

 

[Shmatt]

Oh boy this team has a long road ahead of them….

[CJ Vogel]

Five turnovers in four minutes.

The book is out on Texas offensively – if you want to force issues, toss out some full court defenses.

[CJ Vogel]

Zone defense off full court diamond press, Texas is struggling.

Now an 8-2 run for Chaminade.

[wkhan2010]

We really need a true pg to bring the ball up. 

[CJ Vogel]

Cam Heide's athleticism always kinda sneaks up on me lol

[CJ Vogel]

Was just thinking to myself that Texas could probably score ever point tonight in the paint...

Looking a the box score, all 16 points for Texas have come in the paint.

[texcoyote15]

No outside shots made yet. 

[CJ Vogel]

Just so lackadaisical with the ball.

7 TO through eight minutes.

[NothinButDaHorns34]

I am giving miller the benefit of the doubt that this team is still finding cohesion, But boy do they look sloppy. 

[CJ Vogel]

All 26 points have come in the paint for Texas.

Jordan Pope isn't a primary ballhandler imo. 

Texas has ten turnovers at the under 8 timeout and if it's not a break or transition opportunity, the ball crossing midcourt looks like a struggle. It was the same issue last night.

[AJJ_Sports]

Holy turnovers 

[CJ Vogel]

13 of Chaminade's 18 points have come off of turnovers

He’s not in anyone’s opinion.

This was Miller last Monday:

"No doubt Jordan will play a lion's share of the minutes at the PG position... I think that's his best position."

Good lord. Everybody said why did RT take so long to put Mark at the point? Miller switched him back after one game.

He’s forgotten way more basketball than i know so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. 

[CJ Vogel]

FWIW, Mark has 4 of the Longhorns' 6 assists tonight,

[Jordan91]

Well we got one three. Progress!
