Open GameDay Thread: Texas Tech at Texas

Need this

Great passing and cutting. Easy lay in for Connor.

AJ with two more misses from three. That's at least 9 straight misses

Neither team shooting the ball well early. Texas with decent movement on offense, and two good inside looks. Looks to me like Rick has told the guards not to jack jumpers without at least trying to see what's working inside.

wondering if Damion James can play safety next fall.

That's our fourth reaching foul. Refs calling this pretty tight.

Using his strength and looking less tentative.

Physical game so far

Johnson using his body well here. And the foul.

11-8 Texas at the under-8:00 timeout

41 - 36 with 10:00 remaining.

Wiscy and Indiana both lost.

you can count on him to figure out how to shut down Knight's offense. We're doing it once again, but our offense is just as bad if not worse.

Chapman for 2.

He's got a good feel near the rim.

Texas takes a 15-8 lead on a DJ pull up jumper

Johnson just drawing a foul on the rebound before timeout.

Back to back threes keeping Tech close

Nice elevation and 10-foot jumper from Damion

Great strokes from Dexy

26-16 under a minute to play. Great job from the supporting cast tonight. Mason, Johnson, Chappy all giving us something as Abrams sits.

Am i reading this correctly? Jumper by Mason?

Can't watch it on TV? Go to this site.

Click on "College Hoops" in the upper right hand corner. Then look for the Texas/Texas Tech game.

First, you'll have to install some kind of movie player into your browser (mine is Firefox). That shouldn't take long.

Install it, reboot Firefox, and then go back to the Texas link on www.raptorsnation.net

Now you're watching the game online.

Excellent roll on the step back fadeaway from DJ. Horns take a 28-16 lead into half.

54-49 with 2:16 remaining.

Hoyas at the line

what a crazy ending to the WVA/G-town game.

I think they made the right call though. So close.

way of on the fade away, somehow the ball comes back to you, and then you runover a Tech defender.

but Gary has to catch that one. He's going to get so many open opportunities like that from DJ penetration.

we're outrebounding them 27-13.

Love it.

BANG!

But you lose style points because of your hair.

I believe you can also watch entire games that are already finished in their archive section.

So if you missed it, you can watch the entire game later.

And for anyone who has the time, they can use these vids to make Texas highlight clips.

1. If it's all about the match-ups...is there a better team than Texas Tech for UT match up against? Besides Concordia, I think not.

2. Is it just me or does a flushed face Bobby Night look like Eddie Sutton on Weight Watchers?

3. Nothing like a double-digit no pressure lead to cure your 3-point shooting woes, huh, AJ?

4. So far every camera pan on the UT student section has been a major Nerd Alert...get a fuckin' hair cut already...more Texas Palm please.

5. Rick Barnes' ear torments me.

6. Do you think Bobby Knight's son and the kid who liked to film paper bags blowing in the wind in American Beauty are kindred spirits?

7. I don't know who this Chapman kid is, but his nickname is Q-Tip or Swab...I can cut my own hair better than that.

8. Is anybody else as concerned as me about the lack of minority ownership in the sport of Pigeon Racing? Keeps me up nights.

9. Reggie Bush's step dad wrote his name in concrete in the driveway at that $750K house in San Diego they were living illegally in...saw it on REAL SPORTS, good show even though Bryant Gumble is a pompous piece of shit.

10. Does this game or season even matter with KU playing the way they are...holly crap, they're so good they could win by 20 with Mangino playing point.

There's your Pittman monster dunk for the night.

If you get Baylor tickets for Wacko game, pick me up one too...I'm good for it.

You tell Bearmeat I'm coming and Heaven's coming with me.

Some dude is STUDYING at the basketball game!

One of the nicknames of Erwin Center is "The Library". Is it really just a nickname now?

Now it's Johnson's turn for a monster dunk.

Maybe it's too early this year, but next year our front court could be fun with Pittman and Johnson. With James probably gone, the spotlight will be on them along with Connor.

Horns continue to own Texas Tech under Bobby Knight, picking up a 73-47 win. Excellent home win; saw a lot of good things tonight.

Never mind. I'm just saying...

Outrebounded Tech 37-24, including 10-5 on off. rebounds.

15 assists and 9 turnovers.

3pt and FT's are still bad; 29% and 69% respectively. But despite shooting 29% from three, we were still 45% overall. We were 5-17 behind the arc and 26-57 FG overall.

That means we were 21-40 inside the arc. That's over 50%. That's good stuff. Penetrate more and get easy baskets. Helps to have a great size advantage like we did tonight.

Am I the only one who is mezmorized by this find your exact soulmate ad...I keep thinking the overly coifed dude is going to headbutt the red head.

"Dad, he's gonna pork her?"
"No Russ, that's just how they do it in France?"
"No dad, I think he's going to pork her?"
"Okay, maybe you're right Russ, he's gonna pork her."

The side of AJ's head looks like a cross between a drunken night at Pro-Cuts and a bad edition of Alien Crop Circles on myth busters.

I'm all for letting your soul glow, but quit getting jiggy with the Narelco.

He looks like the Fresh Prince of Del Valle.
