Today's my birthday!
I'm expecting a good present. Let's get it done.

Go Damion!
If y'all ever do the adoption thing with basketball, I want to call dibs on Damion James! Come on, big game! Beat the f*ing mutton-lovin' aggie!

God that was pretty
Inside-out two-man game with Gary and Connor
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:10 PM CST 0 recs
HELL YES
The opposite of what happened in College Station
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:11 PM CST 0 recs
Taking lots of threes early
It's good when we're making, but I like going inside with Johnson/Connor
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:13 PM CST 0 recs
nice
Had a good feeling about this one. 84-62 final score prediction.
Gary Johnson looks good but he needs to box out. COnnor played good D but Johnson didnt clean up.

Yeah
Can't believe they missed that.
That behind-the-back move by Augustin was sick. Just sick.

Should have been a goaltend on GJ
Oh well, maybe the refs were distracted by his mask.

16-4 Texas, under-16 timeout
The home team comes out hot again.
This is essentially what happened in College Station; they couldn't miss. We couldn't hit. So far tonight, we're hitting, they're not.

rick
Gotta love Rick. Has them playing their best 6 minutes of the season following two great wins. He must be telling them this is the time to keep the foot on the gas. Team could be peaking at the perfect time..
If we're going to play this hard on both ends, Rick needs to use his timeouts some more, even if we're going good.

A&M can't buy a basket, even in point blank range
Nice off. rebound by Wangmene.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:19 PM CST 0 recs
Nice
Great work on the boards by WingMan and GJ
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:19 PM CST 0 recs
AJ?
In love with the backboard. A&M bricking as well.
Man I hope James is OK.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:20 PM CST 0 recs
Um... 16-4 Texas at Under12 timeout
No points scored by either team since last TV timeout.
Lots of bricks though.
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:21 PM CST 0 recs
gary johnson
REally is an X factor for this team. The extra muscle and willingness to bang is huge. Wangmene plays hard but hes not natural enough yet. Doesnt know where to be.
by Blitzburgh on Feb 18, 2008 8:21 PM CST 0 recs
Time for Dexy
Pace has slowed and we're getting away from our inside-out game.
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:21 PM CST 0 recs
Not a good shot from DJ
I wish we'd get more shots for Connor in general; not just spot up threes. He's really efficient.
I agree that Pittman should be in the game for Wangmene.
WOO HOO DJ to James!

nice
great outlet by connor.
damion james has been dunking a shit ton lately.
by Blitzburgh on Feb 18, 2008 8:26 PM CST 0 recs
YES Dexy!
Had his man pinned. He's unstoppable when he gets the ball there.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:27 PM CST 0 recs
WOOO
Nice screen there by Dexy to get James to the rim
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:28 PM CST 0 recs
Wow another break?
This one was huge, possibly a 5 point turnaround.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:28 PM CST 0 recs
james
Perfect entry. Our bigs throw it into the post much better than our guards.
Theres Damion making aother silly play. Man, he's all but gone after this year. He's getting confident out there and there's no one really who can play with him when he's just playing.
by Blitzburgh on Feb 18, 2008 8:28 PM CST 0 recs
23-9 Horns at under-8 timeout
Dexy giving us terrific minutes right now.
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:31 PM CST 0 recs
He's camping in the paint though
I think he was called for the 3 sec violation

as good as we are
i kinda hate our half court sets. some dj meets gary pick and rolls wouldnt kill anyone. that's another thing we need to lift from the suns offense. other than that...we came out for blood in this one. lookin great.
by mattw on Feb 18, 2008 8:32 PM CST 0 recs
First four minutes, last four minutes
Have been good. We got away from the inside game in between. Other than that, I've been very pleased with our half court offense.

dexy is the key there
the wide body just does so much. like to see gary being so aggressive also.

Johnson is very active
gets good position and Davis probably flops. Oh well, sort of makes up for the goaltend.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:34 PM CST 0 recs
fuck that
Get Vlade Divac outta here. What a flop. Flop against a freshmen? Pansy.

A&M trying to run
Our transition defense needs to improve.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:39 PM CST 0 recs
we haven't scored in a while
a&m isn't exactly tearing up the nets, but we're letting them back in it.
by billyzane on Feb 18, 2008 8:39 PM CST 0 recs
man
What a program Rick's built.
BTW, anyone ever had this thought while looking at A&M's home court:
Jeez, even their basketball court reminds me of a farm.
Is it just me or does their floor look weird and strangely dark and farm looking?
by Blitzburgh on Feb 18, 2008 8:41 PM CST 0 recs
lol
I saw a few minutes of their game on Saturday. Whitest crowd I've ever seen. Agros trying to get into basketball. Funny to observe.

Turgeon's motion offense sucks
Certainly against us. Not taking advantage of their strengths.
by PB @ BON on Feb 18, 2008 8:42 PM CST 0 recs
did ricky b chew some butt after the baylor game?
whatever he did is working so far. normally it seems like a&m overachieves in these games but they're getting beaten to every punch and being outgunned talent wise in every facet. so awesome,
by mattw on Feb 18, 2008 8:42 PM CST 0 recs
I think DJ found his shot
the practice helped for sure
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:42 PM CST 0 recs
when the hell
did we turn into a great half court defensive team?
by billyzane on Feb 18, 2008 8:43 PM CST 0 recs
It's a BIG Monday.
By constant pressure on their shooting, aTm is wilting. And DJ is really putting the bow on the package.
by whills on Feb 18, 2008 8:44 PM CST 0 recs
31-13 Texas, under-4 timeout
DJ is enfuego as the defense remains solid.
Mark Turgeon is a fool, by the way. Agros running Tech's offense against us, when they should be spreading the floor and muscling us inside. Dumm.

I really don't understand...
...the college basketball hot tub commercials with the talking heads out of the arms. Kinda creeps me out.

What a play by DJ
split the defense, could've shot a floater, and instead handed it off to Johnson for the lay in.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 18, 2008 8:47 PM CST 0 recs
really enjoying this game
Nice to see everyone working together, Augustin's shot back, strong defense, and good looks. Nice to watch.
by Texas Sized BS on Feb 18, 2008 8:49 PM CST 0 recs
You wonder if DJ is gonna make up tonight
for the last month. He's definitely feeling it.
by whills on Feb 18, 2008 8:49 PM CST 0 recs
shit
JD Leiws is in. Dont be surprised if we have a 5-10 point game by the one-minute mark.
by Blitzburgh on Feb 18, 2008 8:49 PM CST 0 recs
WOW WOW WOW
17 points for DJ. Texas leads 37-14

God DJ is awesome
Speaking of awesome, Dickie V will be doing the K-State/Texas game next Monday.
We are forcing A&M to some tough shots.

i dont know man
i thought kd vs. bogans/dove was gonna be tough last year but nba talent is nba talent and kd shredded both of them. same kinda feel for that one i think.

Love to see that strength in the paint.
All too often it has been missing.
And if Chappy comes around, sudden we have some real depth. Jeez...

stop talking about football. we have a top 5 team and we're playing hoops :)

Lewis should've fouled Sloan there
He's a bad FT shooter, assuming that we're even in the penalty.
What a pass from DJ to James again.
NBA scouts drooling. For those who think DJ return, sorry but I still doubt it.
