Kaluma wanted Shed to cut but he couldn’t get by his man.

Has Mark made a basket?

Two wide open threes both missed.

Two bad offensive possessions

Why does he even looked surprised? Stop doing it. He he’s done that for two years.

Looked intentional

On Pope’s last three I could tell it was short. Mark was on the other end and could see the same. He made no effort to go get the board

No he’s been scoring really well.

Twice Kent has dribbled once and stopped.

Those guys came quickly to Texas.

Good effort so far.

Pope doesn’t have the speed to get by his man.

Dumb foul by Kent. To the free throw line.

Kaluma

Finally a foul!

Good defense but like the aggressiveness.

He should be as physical with Missouri as he was with the trainer checking on him.

That was such a cowardly play.

They had some really good ball movement in the first half against OU. It’s been a struggle since.

An actual base offense? Most teams do not run the typical base offense anymore. Texas runs a very basic offense. It’s allowing more freedom to each player. They are trying to run a position less offense. Not saying that’s the offense they should be running but that’s what they run. The base offense I grew up playing (Princeton offense) is not really run by most college teams anymore. Texas iso ball starts to struggle, because they can’t finish at the rim. Kaluma is the best at finishing at the rim, but he’s the only one. Mark tries to do it, but not consistently. The floor is typically spread when running isolation plays. If it ends with a jump shot there really isn’t anyone under the rim to rebound. That’s why they want the guards coming to the rim to rebound. Unfortunately they are not doing that. Weaver does it and he isn’t playing right now.

Another thing to keep in mind is Barnes run came before NIL.

Do they? Do they want to up the NIL to keep up with Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky or Arkansas? Their NIL budget has to give a coach at least a fighting chance to win the SEC championship.

What you say at the end is my biggest issue. I don’t want Texas to be satisfied with just getting to the tournament or even winning a game. I can only speak for myself and that is not enough for me. As a season ticket holder I want more than that.

I defer a lot to the players being responsible for what happens on the court. At some point a coach, should be held responsible for executing the game plan. Typically when a coach takes over any sport I have no problem with the coach saying the players are not executing the game plan. You want your guys in there. Terry has his guys in there. Yes he wanted other players and told no, but when you take the job you are responsible. When I see the same mistakes over and over it tells me the players can’t do what the coach is asking or won’t do what the coach is asking. Neither scenario is good.

Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes! When Ivey got the team to the Olympics they did not have an indoor court in Sudan. Yes nowhere.
