Men's Basketball: Texas keeps fading NCAA Tournament hopes alive with overtime road win over No. 25 Mississippi State, 87-82
I actually didn’t watch the game last night. First time in thirty years that has happened. Fortunately I watched this morning. Pretty sure Pryor’s lack of playing time had to do with Mark having some flashbacks to last year at Arkansas. He’s been injured too, so that could play into it as well. That’s what he was brought here to do. Fans are so busy criticizing RT they have failed to realize just how little Mark and Pope have done this year. If he or Pope could consistently give Texas fifteen points a game then Texas would be in most games. What’s odd is Mark had such a good game despite not practicing for three days. Texas does not have a point guard. It’s why I have been suggesting it be Tre. Kaluma is struggling with his shot because he has been playing on one leg for a while now. He’s still rebounding and make some fifteen foot shots. He will deliver that every game. So if Pope or Mark could get it going on the wing Texas could win some games. My goodness RT knows how to beat a 2-2-1. He also knows how to inbound a pass too.The fact that these kids look that bad, in all honestly is on the coach. It was comical watching that. Another I have noticed during the year is some of these players get rattled real easy. Not a good thing.

I am at let’s see if they play with effort against OU. And you’re right. It’s not saving the coaches job. Fans can actually hope they make the tournament. Oh well, as you said back to the bubble.

Who said he isn’t? It’s called the bubble thread. Simply talking about Texas chances of getting in the tournament.

They won. Let’s see if they show up against OU.

Men's Basketball: Texas vs. No. 25 Mississippi State Game Thread
We have a heartbeat. Who knows what team shows up against OU. Texas has no point guard. Tre should bring the ball up. If Texas could just get Pope or Mark to get 15 or more they can win.

Few is a no brainer three years ago. Now I would prefer a younger coach. I am going to support whoever it is but he is not at the top of my wish list.

I am actually interested in what happens if Drew goes to Indiana and McCasland heads to Baylor. It gets even more interesting if Bill Self steps down for health reasons.

If it’s 6-8 years then older candidates should be considered as well.

Texas basketball, well all sports at Texas have fans that are win now. It’s in every game thread in every sport. RT was a risk to many fans. This guy has an excellent track record of winning, but it’s a massive jump from the MVC to the SEC. His team plays at a slow pace with most of the players playing heavy minutes. Some almost play the entire game. His pace and player usage will have to change. I am not saying he won’t work. Really no way to know that. CDC taking an another risk after a risk is something I don’t see him doing. He has the makings of an excellent coach though.

Nobody is denying his credentials. Will happily support him if he is the guy, but it’s a huge jump to SEC.

You just mentioned the ages of Otz kids. Nobody is as detailed as you. All I can say is bravo. You never dunked though.

That’s kind of where I am at. An offense that is exciting. As Gerry said talent evaluator(assuming Texas stays in the salary range and NIL he mentioned). Doing more with less. Otz shirt always looks like it’s going rip apart because it’s so tight. Sudan didn’t even have a gym to practice. Royal had to take them somewhere else.

He’s an extremely knowledgeable. He already has an ego. It’s going to grow now. lol

CDC already knows that. There’s a lot of reasons he is widely regarded as the best AD in the country. I am going to support whoever it is. All coaches deserve that considering the job they take is basically an all day everyday job. I do that with all sports at Texas.

Texas might be stuck on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble after an 83-67 home loss to Georgia
Texas can still get in the tournament. They won’t though. That team has checked out. It’s not in them to get the wins in the last two games and in the SEC tournament to get there. Getting to take a game seriously would be surprising.

Going off what Gerry said. It’s roughly twenty four million to get Oats, when you include everything he would want. That’s before you buy Terry out and his assistants. That amount of money has never been spent on a basketball coach in the history of the school. Gerry did say he will believe it when he sees it. Kind of where I am at as well. There is a potential domino effect that might happen. Indiana wants Scott Drew, Baylor will get a really good coach, they have a history of doing that, so it’s probably Tech’s coach they get. Say what you will about Texas Tech, but they have a big money booster spending freely in football and basketball right now. They will get a good coach. So the possibility of losing out on a good coach who will take the budgeted Texas job is exists. CDC is paid to figure all this out. My hope is he can convince the powers that be to spend heavily.

Sean Miller has been mentioned without changing the NIL or salary. If you are going to six to seven million and an increased NIL? Then you can really get a flash hire. Would love to see Texas actually do that. Saying it is one thing, doing it is another. Even if Texas had no NIL, it should still have a team that doesn’t get blown out by South Carolina. You can still have a team that doesn’t look lifeless against Georgia at home, knowing you need to win. If CDC can convince a flash hire coach to take a pay cut and the current NIL, and have them consistently finish in the top half of the SEC, they will build a statue of him.

Been wanting Tre to bring the ball up for weeks. Apparently getting in late from the Arkansas game is to blame.

So who is our next basketball coach?
JT Toppin is a beast! In all seriousness if Drew goes to Indiana then he probably goes to Baylor. Then Tech will definitely pay high dollar for a coach. They are serious about basketball. Have a huge donor giving money to football and basketball.
