Rick wearning a redish shirts. Hmmm

0/3 from floor and a turnover.

getting fed but not finishing.

There you go Mase. To the rim and creates the contact. Love it.

We’ve gotten the ball in the post four times = 0/3 and a turnover. Settle down big guys. The ball is not on fire. If Chap and Gary take their time, they will be much more dangerous.

We just need to get comfortable and settle down

an air ball and two missed free throws. Where’s the strength and the touch?

Big to big passing is so pretty.

There you go.

is a lost art. My goodness.

I miss you. Please come to us ASAP.
Love,
BON

has a touch of AJ, just in the post. He got an assist and a dunk for Chap the last time. Now, he is back to shooting every time he touches it.

Both of these teams look like they’re playing their third games in three days. No energy.

Damion used to play mad?

Ducks didn’t score in that strech. Texas just 3/14 from the floor and 0/3 from the line.

Neither team can find the basket or any real rhythm.

Do you know why Varez Ward is getting the PT over Balbay ?

Pittman going to make a lot of money. AJ going to play in the NBA. Texas the best defensive team in the country.

Hyberbole much?

Dex carving out space. Like it.

about fatigue, Pittman can’t stop fouling. 3 already tonight.

two dunks! and he has velcroe hands!

Nice kiss off the glass

Like to see that. Good shot and in control.

Horns up 14-8. Oregon can’t shoot free throws, at all.

Football and basketball

should have given that up to james for a monster dunk…but he’s a hog!

back to back pressure induced turnovers.

There we go. Much better execution on both ends since the first tv timeout.

we are looking better…go horns. maybe it’s because AJ is on the bench!

Is a bit scary

D is stepping up and causing some turnovers. Oregon is really shooting the ball poorly as well.

Like the to the rim agressiveness from James, Ward, and Mason.

20-8 TX, under 8.

I want to see Dex break the backboard…he can do it.

Feet set and he can make it. It also came within the flow of the offense. Very nice.

23-8 TX

taking horrible shots for Oregon.

brick

Throw it down!! Mason with a great look.

The shot distribution looks MUCH better than yesterday. Abrams is not torturing my soul today as of yet.

in 11 minutes. Ouch.

Where have I seen that before?

Back to back turnovers for the Horns but in total control. Oregon can’t shoot at all, Texas is controlling the defensive glass, and doing a nice job of feeding the post as well.

they give up four shots. Chap too loose with the ball and he sits.

I want the broadcast giving coach boom the mic during games too

Don’t let them back in this. Tx 29-17.

with another nice assist to Damion for the slam.

out of control…

needs to sit…

Let’s get a good look here. What will Rick draw up?

I don’t care if it’s a single digit victory. 3 games in 3 days can’t be fun. I don’t understand why they can’t put a day off between games.

That was suppose to go to James for an alley hoop but it wasn’t there.

Good half, not fantastic but not horrible either.

Team defense looks better. We’re dominating in the paint. 22 pts in the paint. James and Mason playing well.

to the second. Two buckets for Oregon and a turnover by Mason.

with the slam in the half court.

unbelievable block. AJ with a fast break jumper. Texas up 11 again.

Bobby Knight said he thought Mason was the best player on the team.

Chapman is so weak. He may be skilled offensively but it doesn’t show and he is getting pushed around in the post a lot.

James finally came to play.

Is not Allen Iverson…the arm band and # is about as close as he will get..

Ward, Abrhams, Johnson, Chapman, Mason

could get close if horns don’t put it away soon.

James still playing sharply as well. 10 pt game.

is playing like an All American. Really doing a fantastic job on the offensive glass.

Defensive pressure starting to get to the Ducks.

Now this is the Damion we need. mad damion = good damion

…where’s dogus? mace on point looks good, but i expected more turkish flava.

is he looking for his contact on the floor???

He cant stay on his feet

heavy defensive pressure and great intensity on the offensive end of the floor. Mase and Damion are being aggressive, AJ looking more to get open and then receive the ball and shoot – that’s what this team needs to do. The athleticism with all these guys is amazing

he is dead weight no the floor. Does not play D. I wish he would have gone pro.

Another nice feed to Gary in transition. Nice to see Mason being a playmaker from the point.

tries some stuff….jello legs

No chance.

Defense taking control and Mason and James turning in player of the game performances.

Connor and Chap just let an easy rebound go out of bounds. Both need to play a little stronger.

Only a 9 pt lead. 8 min left.

Mason with a forced jumper there.

We’ve got to make some free throws to close this one out. It does not good to get in the bonus early if you can’t take advantage from the stripe.

Three from AJ.

leads to Gary to James for an easy one. Horns up 61-47.

Ward and Balbay may get there by conference season or certainly by next year but Mason is the man right now.

I think that means the next five years, if an NCAA team wants to hire him, they have to thoroughly explain why they want to hire him, and it must be approved. At least, that’s how it was explained earlier today.

James and Mason simply took over this game in the second half. Well done by both guys.

This game would have been closer had Oregon been able to sink their free throws but they didn’t and Texas ran away.

fast, strong, soft finish at the hoop – I definitely have a man crush on Mase

Take care of the ball and this won’t get interesting.

PitP Texas=42

I don’t have the best memory for individual performances, but this may have been Mason’s best performance as a Horn.

Way to go J-Mase!

25 hours to revenge on aggy.

Nice effort all around

Horns take third place 70-57. Players of the game Justin Mason and Damion James. Awesome games by both.

Next game Sunday back in Austin vs. Rice.

Now, it’s time to beat the shit out of the Aggies.

for Damion James. 9-11 from the field is insanely efficient. Didn’t get to watch the game, so can someone tell me what kind of shots he took mostly?

Kinda weird how Mason went from a total non-factor in our offense to being our 2nd leading scorer. He is definitely our starting PG and will be for quite some time.

Johnson wasn’t real efficient today, but I want him to keep shooting. Unlike Abrams, he can get to the line and follow his own shot.

Connor once again a no-show on offense. Big ole goose egg on the point total. At least he was active on the boards and blocked a few shots. Unlike Abrams, at least he can help the team win when he’s not dominating the ball.

Why did Pittman only get 7 minutes today? I’m guessing the 4 fouls had something to do with that. Not good.

Only 4 minutes for Wingman, and Chapman got 13 but didn’t really do much.

What ever happened to Matt Hill? I remember Barnes being complimentary of him before the season started. Did he get hurt again?

This was the 4th 5th game of the season. There’s a reason they call them preseason tournaments. Every team grows and we have to remember DJ Augustin was a freak. He’s already dropping 30 on nba teams. It takes either a freakish athlete or time to nurture. This team will get better as the season goes on. I would not be surprised at all to see this team in the elite 8 again by years end. Growth takes time. Plus we’ve got some nasty shooters.
