  1. Just to point out the SEC is now 0-3 all as higher seeds with 2 complete ass kickings. Teneessee looks like they are going to roll, but the SEC is not a great league. We have a great shot on Saturday. There is no way Abmas and Disu are going 10-33/1-12/3-6 (really 3-7) again.
  2. Survive and advance. Great defense of a very good offensive team. We took away everything they like to do offensively. If Disu or Abmas hit their average we blow them out by 20+. It is a good team win, with our 2 best players both having off nights and still win by double digits with CSU never getting within 2 possessions in the 2nd half.
  3. He schemed him pretty well in the OU and ISU games.
  4. Is Scott a 2-year player? When was the last time Texas had 3 legit NBA caliber guards on the team? Got to think that Scott, Johnson, and Weaver are going to have a fun March 2025.
  5. Our 2025 home schedule will likely be worse than any we played in the Big 12.
  6. 🤮 The best part of a 9 game conference schedule for Texas was the 4-4-1 break down. 3 conference home games is ridiculous.
  7. He played plenty at Alabama when he had experinced depth. Year one - Worthy, Whittington, Moore, Washington, and Dixon. After Whittington went down against OU and Moore mentally quit sometime after that it was not pretty. Year two - Worthy, Whittington, Cain, Hall, and Neyor, Neyor was hurt in fall practice and Hall was never mentally there. Year three - Worthy, Whittington, Mitchell, Cook, Neyor, Cain, Niblett and Moore. A little more depth, but Cook, Niblett, and Moore were freshmen. Neyor mentally never recovered and Cain is a JAG. Year four - Cook, Moore, Niblett, Bond, Bolden, Golden, Wingo, Butler, Dubose, Livingstone, and Cain. This is a healthy WR room. Lots of experience and talented underclassmen to push the upperclassmen. I can see 5-7 of those guys getting quality game reps this season.
  8. CSU reminds me of a more unathletic version of OU. They like to have their bigs run to the rim off the pnr, but they also turn the ball over a lot. I don't think Virginia scores 50 against air in their practice.
  9. I don't think either team matches up well against Texas. CSU doesn't have the size to bother Abmas, and if Hunter decides he wants to play defense, he can limit Stevens for CSU. Virginia just doesn't have the offensive talent to match Texas. They are one of the worst 10-0 run teams in the NCAAT, Texas is one of the most streakiest.
  10. You should get one portal transfer per season.
  11. Peja Jr. entered the portal yesterday. Texas finished 2nd to Stanford the 1st time around.
  12. There is nothing average about being a top 30 program in college basketball, in a rebuilding season. Many people don't realize the mess that Beard left in terms of returning talent and his poor roster management. Beard was looking at a full rebuild in year 3 of his tenure, that is just abysmal roster management.
  13. @Gerry Hamilton Peja Jr. entered the portal today. We finished 2nd, any chance he gives us a serious look. He had a typical freshmen year, but you have to love those bloodlines and the size he brings to the wing position.
  14. You literally said "dumbster fire". He also had a complete rebuild from the EE team, and brought in a Top 10 portal class along with a Top 10 HS class this season. Terry can recruit and the players are developing Disu, Hunter, and Mitchell are all shooting better this year than previous seasons. Unceremoniously disposed, they are a 7 seed they aren't supposed to make it to the 2nd weekend.
  15. I think we got a pretty good bracket. Tennessee doesn't have the kind of team wide shooting that can make you nervous, and their lead guard is a midget like ours. Going to be interested to see who wins that 10/10 1st round game. It is a contrast in styles.
  16. Weren't we a 6-seed against 11-seed VT and 3-seed Purdue?
  17. @Gerry Hamilton was there a reason that Beard didn't even try to recruit McCullar or Shannon to Texas out of the portal. Granted, Shannon is a POS, but I am wondering why he decided that having tall athletic wings was a bad idea at Texas.
  18. Horrible take by CJ. Cordova was involved, Texas should not be.
  19. The basketball team is in the Top 25 in every metric used to determine the strength of a team. It's not a dumpster fire.
  20. I like the current bracket as well, Dayton in the 8/9 and Purdue as the #1 seed. Purdue can be had in the 2nd round. They don't have Ivey and Williams anymore.
  21. Give me a bracket with a B1G team and UNC.
  22. Foster is interesting. He was horrible BTA at under .300, but plays bigger than his size. Also, don't like he had more TOs than assists. Did have a nice game last year against Virginia in their 1st round upset.
  23. I guess Beard wants to start mining the portal early, he declined the NIT.
  24. Do you expect them to do due diligence and make smart decisions. They just hired an AD that is a named defendant in a sexual misconduct lawsuit.
