    The strength of that conference is in it's basketball programs and the last thing the tournament needed was a gimmack. What an idiotic move by Yormark. I guess a leopard cant change its spots.

    What's the purpose? Non basketball viewers tuning in to see the court? For the fans in attendance? I don't get why this court is needed by a premier conference tournament, the games stand on their own. I remember playing on dusty gym floors and it would completely negate the advantage of quickness and sharp cutting. I watched two different games yesterday on that glass court and the loss of traction on almost every possession was real. It's amazing the B12 rolled that out, especially for this event. Fran Frashilla and his sidekick made or were forced to make it a non-issue. My guess is the coaches/AD's made it a huge issue behind the scenes and got the change.

    Lebron is all about his brand. Jordan was only about winning.

    Agreed. I saw him play one game this season, Austin High and I was a bit disappointed. I was told post game it was his worst showing of the season. I'll keep my expectations in check and hope that Gerry is more accurate with his projections than I am. 😛

    There was alot of chatter at the time regarding the first pick. Oden vs Durant. Just prior to the draft, I met a former NBA player at one of my wife's work events and we had a great debate on how successful Durant would be. He basically argued Durant wasnt strong enough to survive the pounding of the NBA. I kept telling him, it wouldn't matter, Durant was a guard.

Pearl Washington was always one of my faves. If you never saw him play think JCovan Brown.

    First game to attend in two seasons. Heide being more aggressive is a big deal going forward. He also does a decent job on D. Not sure what the broadcast showed but Matas was very upset when he went to the bench after fouling out. Kicked a chair, head in a towel. As though he failed a goal he had made was my guess. This should have been a 15-20 point win but we simply missed too many easy inside buckets. O rebounding was really good. We just dont feed the roll to the bucket very well.

    He's now the team leader in minutes, points, rebounds, assists, steals and turnovers.

    somebody's brother in law?

    I hope Im wrong and you're right. We know what we're getting night in and night out from Mark, Swain and to a degree Heide and Weaver. The rest is a crapshoot. Pope will always need a pick to get space but his 12 foot pull up is nice. Reminds me of Felix's. In regards to Matas I'm curious if you saw the opening tip against GA?

    If this was a young team a lack of focus makes sense and a possible big improvement coming as the season progresses, but this is a very experienced group of players. 4 Sr's, 3 Jr's and 1 Soph. Focus shouldn't be an issue and I'm just not optimistic we're going to get more consistent.

    I think he's a longshot.

    Now that's what NIL is all about!

    Great post! We can certainly condemn Riley now, but to Gerry's point, we can't totally excoriate him for a couple seasons. Is there a right and wrong way to construct your roster yet? Will the current structure of NIL hold? Big picture, it's time to figure out how to get a commissioner in place, tweak the playoffs and completely blow up NIL and start over with guard rails.

    Pretty salty Oline from the '22 Westlake team. Robertson, Lynch, Shanahan. Westlake followers may know this....Who was Klubnik throwing passes to in 7th and 8th grade? Max Walters, Colgate and Isiah Sategna, OU. Both moved out of state prior to 9th grade.

    Wow thx Im not familiar with Miller enough to know if this is his normal MO. I will assume its not and he's at the end of the rope because his teams been playing like this all season. Theyre not getting any better.

    Danks, Krivacs, Baxter, Branyon, Thompson, Dotson, Cunningham, Willock, Cooper, Turner, BMW etc. Fun memories of a different era. I watched probably 90% of Longhorn bb games going back to about the start of the Barnes era. The last 3 seasons Ive watched about 25% of the games. I just dont have a connection with the players anymore. We dont see FR grow and develop into JR's and SR's anymore. It's become pick up bb. Who's got next? I'll take Miller over Terry all day, but this team is not young and developing, its an experienced group of players and I believe we're already at their ceiling and its not good. Our talent level at guard is awful. Last night I watched TT vs OU rather than the Horns. I knew the outcome already.

    That game ended much like our last two playoff losses ended.

    My son was a year behind Taaffe in HS. He once told me Michael was the most popular kid at school and they called him The Mayor. There wasn't a single person that could say a bad thing about him. When he decided to walk-on at TX rather than taking a full ride from Rice I remember thinking he was making a mistake that would alter the trajectory of his life and he'd never see the field again until he transferred out. Ha! Walk On Michael, walk on!

    Chicken S**t Bingo at Ginnys Longhorn Saloon on Burnet Rd. Every Sunday evening. Google it. It's like a backyard party with a good band. As a first timer you definitely need to allocate as much time as you can for Bevo Blvd. pre-game.

    Shaka was a great hire. Everyone had been offering him over the years and he finally said yes. To us. Didnt work out but great hire.
  25. ATX16
    Agreed. I go all the way back to the Krivaks, Baxter, Branyon, Lasalle T days and for the first time I checked out on the program. I really liked Terry the man, but there was a reason he was a .500 coach at Fresno and UTEP.
