No. 7 Texas vs. No. 2 Tennessee in Round of 32

Good effort, too many TOs from Hunter and another cold shooting night from both Abmas and Disu.

Creighton or Oregon will beat Tennessee, not enough shot makers to make it much further.

Didn't make enough adjustments and them lacking a big man in the paint hurt.

Watched the Iowa women's game and Bluder made adjustments and played big in the paint and not speed made the difference and got their rhythm going.

RT is a moron. There was zero reason to foul and give Tenn free throws. Absolutely stupid. Make them make a shot. Not like Tenn had been on fire shooting the ball. So freaking stupid.

And to think we’ve got at least another year of that. 

Texas gave it a run and didn’t quit. I wasn’t overly impressed with Tennessee. Texas is a very flawed team that didn’t play well and still had a chance. 
 

Proud of the guys for fighting like they did. The SEC knows Texas will be a tough out in the league. This was their champion and Texas gave them everything they wanted on a neutral floor.

I'd take Barnes over Terry.

I really like Rick Barnes as a person and representative of the university and I'd take Barnes success. 

...but tonight reminded me why so many people were ready for Barnes to leave.  His brand of basketball is UGLY and he's only one assertive officiating crew away from a loss on most nights.

I remember lots of spirited conversations with Barnes detractors back in the day - the most knowledgable and informed of those detractors being @Gerry Hamilton.

RT was not the problem tonight fellas. We played hard and we’re clearly undermanned. Lots of shots for disu rimmed out. You’ll see a much more talented team next year with players that can create. Onward 🤘🏻

Terry was late to pull Hunter off of inbounding the ball, that was a head scratcher. Not trying to drive to the rim once we were in the bonus was also frustrating. Hunter, his turnovers and poor inbounding could be solely blamed for that loss if one was looking for a scapegoat. Sadly this team short of Weaver just didn't play with much heart or discipline and that was reflected in the the final score.

Yes. That was ridiculous that Hunter was still inbounding the ball late into the game ... when Texas finally made the change. It was clear Hunter was melting down early on in the game, and that change should have happened in the first half. 

Texas gave away way too many possessions against a quality defensive team. 

17 TO's... probably 12 unforced.

I guess Terry's actions tell us he wants his guys to work through things, and he hopes showing confidence in them will pay off in the long run. Even so, it's hard to see how you do that in an elimination game.

I’ve been close on this for the last 8 weeks but Abmas is a bum.  Small, slow, can’t defend, turns it over, can’t get to the rim, and supposedly can shoot but only 1 out of 5 games. 
 

I am no Hunter fan either but the blame going on Hunter and forgetting about Max is silly.  They’re shitty basketball fed off each other
