Leaving his feet early

Beautiful three

Not sure we've played against one this season.

Awful transition D

What do you know, we allow wide open threes, and they're making them.

Seeing what has already happened today, losing at home to a team with a solid perimeter game wouldn't be a surprise.

Lovely...

James with 2 fouls already. What a total disaster. 13-6 losing.

Having trouble keeping Augustin in front of them. We're gonna need a big game from him.

at how ridiculously open these CU shooters are.

Here's another team that's shooting sub-40% from three but lights it up against us. 4-7 so far from three.

Defense struggling to guard simple screens; transition defense sloppy.

It's weird seeing Rick Barnes teams play subpar D, but that's where we are these days.

Johnson with good body control, nice shot.

AJ loses his man again - 3 for Colorado, their fifth of game. 21-13 CU

The easy hook. Looked very easy. Do it more.

And maybe we could get some hands in some faces on their threes? WTF?

In the Mizzou game, people said how hot they were in the 2nd half, as if it was some kind of legitimate excuse for us.

They were hot because they were WIDE OPEN. And it's happening again today.

Off again. He's leaning backwards.

Great finish

Nice J

Better defense last couple minutes.

Bad shooter, and also a bad ball-handler.

One bad thing about trying to play an inside game with Johnson/Connor is we'll have to lose our identity of a run-and-gun style team. If we're going to focus on going inside, then the game tempo has to slow down by default.

And since our defense is so horrible, I don't think a slower halfcourt game is a good idea.

T.J. Ford assists to Boddicker for three.

Ford assists to Mouton for a layup.

And it was against A&M.

CU still can't stay in front of Augustin. To the rack over and over

Mason STUFFS Roby and then DJ three.

Then DJ lays it in.

PB was right. If we win this game, it's because DJ exploded.

How many three pointers AJ takes and misses. His value as a 30-35% three point shooter is... not good.

AJ Abrams cannot stay on his man. Yet another three from his guy.

Can we please stop fouling people immediately after they get the defensive rebound?

It's DJ Augustin and the 7 dwarfs, though. No one else playing well. Literally, no one.

Miss FTs followed by giving up open looks.

Phase 1 of my disillusionment is beginning.

Takes control of the AJ miss, nice finish inside.

This announcing is SO BAD.

All this talk about storylines and intangibles. Zero talk about what's happening on the court.

28 points. DJ showed up. Rest of the team looks C-.

Damion James has not played since the 17:00 mark.

AJ 2-8 from the floor, 1-6 from downtown. NOT ACCEPTABLE

we're losing by 13 points.

Needed that. Nice.

AJ not happy with my dissing him, apparently. Goes to the rack, draws foul, finishes. Now that we need.

but giving up 37 points at halftime isn't that bad. It wouldn't be bad if our offense was doing what it was supposed to be doing.

We should win games 80-something to 70-something

For this game, AJ has to make threes, DJ has to keep dominating, and James has to step up.

Here we come! Much better...

Just winning this game will be great. Who knows how many spots we'd jump up.

#15 Ole Miss also lost in addition to the other teams that lost earlier.

Mason with the glue and points!

Terrific start to the half

AJ!!!

Craig Way is going nuts. "HOW BOUT IT!?"

Mason's defense is excellent.

The only thing I don't like about this run is that Johnson hasn't really played any role in it. He just checked in, so lets see what happens.

God we needed that.

24-2 Texas run

how do you let Abrams get that wide open?

52-43. This looks like Texas Basketball.

Getting Connor involved in the post

You had an open three, and you instead passed it to Mason? WTF?

Oh well... CONNOR FOR THREE!

62-50

Tale of two halves, huh?

Good slasher. Unafraid.

On the flipside, we reach way too often on defense.

Mason got hammered

Has been so so smooth today. A+

We went on a huge run just to earn this lead. Lets not collapse now.

I'm a bit worried because of our poor FT shooting...

Connor jumper + the foul!

1. An entry pass into the post.

2. Weird - it was to Mooney

3. Mooney with a terrific quick pass to Atch

4. Bucket + foul

His rebounding numbers could be better, but who would've thought that he would have 9 more points than James at any point of this game?

a bunch of dribbling and then AJ throws up a wild shot. Give the fuckin ball to DJ and let him work.

DJ misses front end of 1 and 1. What is going on...

Now it's a 4 point game. We're choking!

lucky rebound by Connor, ball came right to him.

Great timeout by Barnes. Our offensive plays have been total GARBAGE!

Much credit goes to the increase in defensive intensity in the 2nd half.

Who would've thought that offense would've been a problem on this team? There's no way we should be held under 70 points in any game.

Final: 69-67.

After a lousy first half.

We'll take it. Good second halves from DJ, AJ, and Atchley. Solid play from Damion, too. Hard to tell if Gary Johnson's maybe not ready yet.

With 4:25 left in the 2nd half, Connor made a FT to make it 69-59.

We did not score a point the remaining 4:25. Wow. Luckily, we had already scored enough points to win. That's the value of good defense.

might as well write a preview for the OK State game. That's game is two days from now!

or did the 'Horns play better when we had the previous starting five on the floor? Johnson's a beast, but it seems like tonight Mason had more chemistry with the rest of the team.  Just my point of view. :)
