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.

I am at where Bobby is at. Making the tournament is most likely going to save his job. I am not saying it should. I am saying that’s the reality of Texas basketball. Which goes back to what we fans want the basketball program to be. I want Texas in the final four every ten years or so. I would settle for some sweet sixteens and elite eights. I want to be exited to watch a team because I believe that team may be the one that wins it all. I don’t think Texas and those that control NIL want the same thing, or they honestly don’t know what it takes to get there.

If I was on the selection committee I would leave the conference out of the playoff for stupidity.

Just don’t get him started on his dunking claim.

I know he averaged 15 points a game, but I am quite sure there was a game when Abe said “Congratulations you scored one more point than a dead man!”

All basketball fans should check that out. I remember him well. Hard not to remember him.

Ivey has been out there for a while. The lack of knowing the coaches in Texas is usually the argument against it. He played at the school, played and coached in the NBA. Most players want to be in the NBA. I do think there would be more support as well. TJ and KD would be all in for sure. Would need assistance with deep Texas recruiting ties.

He doesn’t have Toppin. I do agree all coaches are responsible for what we see on the court.
