I saw a stat the other day about how efficient Texas is at scoring despite the fact they don’t shoot that well from three point land. They are in a group of four, three of those could win the national championship. Coach Miller is a master at getting players in the right place to score. Swain is not the best perimeter shooter. Most of the time he looks hesitant to even shoot it. Despite that, they still can’t stop him. Every time I hear Coach Miller talk I like him more and more. Texas has their coach. They didn’t have to spend millions of dollars to get him. Texas has the coach. And I think that is where the few of us that love watching men’s basketball get frustrated. Give the man a chance to build a team. Stop making him go all over the world to find players that will take less money and help Texas win. There are only so many brother or sons of former Longhorn football or basketball players talented enough to be on the team. Man I am just asking for them to spend more on ONE GUY! I heard the starting price for a point guard in this year’s portal is three million. I don’t care if a kid gets that amount. I care that some school gives it to him. These kids want NBA rookie first round money when they are second round draft picks. Every body that can’t play in the NBA is trying to come back and get paid. Texas should not have Kentucky, North Carolina or Duke NIL. If you give this man just enough, I truly believe he can get this program rolling. I just hate that they don’t do that.

Second game he has done this. Pointless to say anything. Just going to watch the team.

A&M will be ready and waiting. Texas can certainly win that game, but I am not counting on it.

And I agree. It pisses me off that we have a top ten coach that is expected to get great players at flea market prices.

Whatever man. I had the tournament as the bar to start the season. This is the second game you have done this. Not much to respond to. Pope is a massive liability on defense. Coach Miller is talking about him specifically when he talks about defense. I guess pointing that out is wrong. I have said Mark is hot and cold and he is. Not sure how that means he sucks. Are we not allowed to be critical of players?

It’s what I have been saying. It’s three games to get one win. Have no idea who is saying those guys suck. Definitely not me.

Have to say there is no excuse for being this bad defensively. You can be bad but not that bad.

Florida really did a much better job on Mark in the second half.

I agree. That’s why I said Texas would potentially lose five in a row if they dropped the LSU game.

Man that’s not fair. I actually think this game proved just how good Coach Miller is. It’s just not a very good team. You can take Pope out but you have to put Wilcher in. Texas has no power forward. Put Heide in or Codie and you’re lucky if you get five points out of them. Heide is in over his head. Coach Miller is doing an excellent job of covering some big holes.

Good call on the game Jeff. Three games to get one win.

Texas seriously has no power forward. They have to play Heide or Codie. You can pull Pope for lazy passes and poor defense, but you have to put Wilcher in. You lose offense by taking Pope out.

Good effort by a limited team, but that defense is historically bad.

Completely agree but that doesn’t explain the slow switches and lazy passes. They were jumping into those passing lanes. I didn’t have Texas winning this game, but you can see what Coach Miller is talking about.

It’s sloppy play mixed in with being tired.

Does Florida get tired?

A lot of it is just laziness. Passes aren’t crisp and they switch slow or not at all.

Ball game.

Man these guys get back slow and throw lazy passes. Codie just gave them two points.

Man it’s a very quiet crowd.

Shots aren’t dropping now.

Codie came in quick.

Exposing Heide on defense.

Matas is gassed.

Nobody there.
