  1. A missed three by Hubbard turns into a push and nice feed from Wilcher to Matas for a bucket.
  2. Make it seven as he comes off a high ball screen and nails a three.
  3. No surprise that Hubbard has State's first four points.
  4. Mark contorts his body in the air from the elbow. His jumper falls for the first Texas bucket.
  5. Crowd is still filing into Moody Center. We'll see how much juice is in the building with the Christmas break putting a huge dent into the numbers in the Corral.
  6. The 2005-06 Elite Eight team being recognized today is, I still believe, the most talented team Rick Barnes coached at Texas. With LaMarcus Aldridge, Brad Buckman, P.J. Tucker and Daniel Gibson, those Longhorns were elite on defense. That team broke my heart, however. They went 30-7 and I felt like they had a great shot to win it all when the LSU team, led by Garrett Temple, Big Baby Davis and Tyrus Thomas, beat Duke in the Sweet 16. It didn't work out and that's a shame. It was the last time Barnes got that close to a Final Four (he got Texas to the Elite in 2007-08, but the Longhorns weren't going to get by Derrick Rose and Memphis).
  7. FWIW, Bart Torvik likes the local cagers by 9.9 points today (projected 84-74 final favoring Texas).
  8. If Texas is going to make a run at getting into the field of 68, these are the kinds of games it must win. Can't afford to squander winnable games at home.
  9. The first SEC game of the Sean Miller era tips off at the top of the hour. Texas (9-4, 0-0 SEC) hosts Mississippi State (8-5, 0-0) at Moody Center in the first conference game for both clubs this season. A couple of notes: — There were no injuries reported on either side to the conference. The availability reports for the Longhorns and Bulldogs are clean. — I'm told the football transfer portal prospects who are visiting Texas this weekend are expected to be here at some point. — Texas is honoring the 2005-06 team that won a share of the Big 12 title and advanced to the Elite Eight. I'm told the only players on the team who aren't here are Kenton Paulino (he's an assistant coach at Wichita State), Daniel Gibson (travel issues) and Mike Williams (whereabouts unknown).
  10. Texas has the tools to get to Omaha, no question. You need some good fortune to be the last team standing, but the tools are there for Texas to be that kind of team in '26.
  11. Yep. One of, if not the top power bat in the portal last summer.
  12. And he gets Colin Simmons and Lance Jackson for '26, on top of anyone Texas gets in the portal.
  13. That's when he announced his intentions to enter the portal. At last check, he hadn't yet appeared in the portal officially.
  14. Nope. The new rule is that graduate transfers must enter the portal in the same 15-day window as everyone else.
  15. Oh, I get it. I just think it (like a lot of opinions that get spouted off) is a lazy argument.
  16. Figured I’d bump this thread instead of starting a new one. Former Texas EDGE Billy Walton III just had a sack for SMU in the Holiday Bowl.
  17. Texas State destroys Rice in the Armed Forces Bowl, 41-10. The Longhorns’ three 2026 non-conference opponents (TXST, Ohio State and UTSA) all finished 2025 with winning records. Arkansas and Florida are the only non-bowl teams on the ‘26 schedule and Mississppi State is the only other team that will finish 2025 with a losing record.
  18. They didn't want that smoke from San Marcos! They knew it was coming! Lanning fears Kinne!
  19. They did that for a few summers. It was 2010 or 2011 when it stopped because it started to get chippy to the point that they weren't productive sessions.
  20. This game has turned into a laugher. Brad Jackson broke Barrick Nealy's 20-year school record for total offense on a drive that ended with his third touchdown pass of the game. He also has a rushing touchdown. Texas State has a 41-7 lead over Rice with 9:10 left in the game.
  21. Barrick has told me that they pretty much ran the same offense Texas did. Herman took a lot of what Greg Davis was doing and did it in San Marcos.
