Texas is up by 20, 57-37, with 14:07 to go in the game.

I've got to go jump on our Tuesday livestream with Amanda and CJ, so I won't be posting in the thread. Enjoy the game, everybody!

Texas 13, Le Moyne 7 15:47 to go, 1H

Sean Miller's staff has been really good on out-of-bounds plays so far this season.

As is the case with most teams from one-bid leagues, Le Moyne can't match the size of Texas. Nevertheless, I don't want it to be a game where the ball just gets dumped down to Matas for a slew of easy baskets.

Pope doesn't need much space coming off a screen to knock one down from deep.

A three-point play by Matas gets things started for Texas.

Johnson, Orlando, City... Take your pick!

Whether it's a running back or a wide receiver, I'd love to see Texas add one of those types of guys in the portal. A Jaydon Blue or Keilan Robinson type.

Ryan Wingo wouldn't be the first Texas wide receiver to have a sophomore season that left everybody wanting more, only to bounce back with a massive junior season. I mentioned Xavier Worthy, but Mike Davis and Devin Duvernay went through similar career arcs.

I'm a big Ty'Anthony Smith fan. The bowl prep and the bowl game could make this time a turning point in his career.
