Thanks
To my surprise, it appears that ESPN360 is not carrying the game tonight?

Guess I was wrong

Hook 'em Horns ]-

this should be exciting.
a blow out win on the road would sure make a statement. if AJ has a stellar shooting night, which he is due, we should really take care of business.
Hook 'em. Kill the Pussies. Kats that is.

please god
for the love of burnt orange and hook 'em horns please let my horns whoop the shit outta them kats. Living in this hellhole is bad enough, much less having to listen to the kansas version of the agros rant and rave. I believe what ever I've done to upset you, were even w/ the two football loses. So lord postpone world hunger, peace, etc. and let the horns destroy the purple agros tonight....

Wow
Our defensive efficiency has really sky rocketed of late. Now we're #31.

Yes
My comment from this week's TBR
I did find out our adjusted D was 78th on December 7th and our Offense was #1.
I see Adj D Rank 34 right now, but just about the same. Our offense has stayed at the top, and our defense just keeps getting better.
Love it.

The wildcats fans
ARE DOING IT WRONG!
They are sawing, but with more of a cross-cut motion.
viva is right, they are the agros of the wheatfields!

Are they chanting random stuff in unison?

Eddie Hightower is a ref in this game.
I hear that's bad news.
GJ with nice D on Beasley.

Beasley = PWNED!
by Horn Brain on Feb 25, 2008 8:15 PM CST 0 recs
Terrific Start
Foul on Beasley. DJ agressive early. Connor with a block. Not getting killed on the glass.
by awiggo on Feb 25, 2008 8:15 PM CST 0 recs
Whew
Beasley called for charge. Probably a good call.
Still, you don't realize how good Beasley is until he plays your team. He's much quicker than I realized.

Thankfully
it's Ron and Fran calling the game. Craig Way is so far ahead of live TV I can't listen.
by horndude on Feb 25, 2008 8:15 PM CST 0 recs
Gary
is SOOOOOO much more comfortable going to his left shoulder. He can't attack the basket with his right yet.
by awiggo on Feb 25, 2008 8:16 PM CST 0 recs
damnit
stop the damn turnovers horns. NICE steal by DJ
by vivalonghorns on Feb 25, 2008 8:16 PM CST 0 recs
Less stupid, please.
Calm down, guys, we've already given up two TO's.
by Horn Brain on Feb 25, 2008 8:16 PM CST 0 recs
Johnson
has nice post moves, but it seems like when he's on the left elbow, he always wants to drive right, even if the defender is leaning right like this case.
He could've made a great move by just driving left. Instead he turns the ball over.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 25, 2008 8:16 PM CST 0 recs
Good call
He loves that move to the middle of the paint. Teams will scout that. Needs to drop step back to the baseline.

Wants to go to
his right hand. He hasn't developed the left yet. Makes the same move regardless of where he is on the court.

is anyone else AMAZED
that Rick put Connor on beasley (at least when he's down low)? and he's actually doing a pretty good job?
by billyzane on Feb 25, 2008 8:16 PM CST 0 recs
I think he's our best defender
Not nearly quick enough for Beasley, but he disrupts better than anyone I've ever seen at Texas. So long as we have help for him when Beasley beats Connor with quickness, I love the idea of putting Connor on him - our best shot blocker/disrupter.

not totally
I kinda figured he'd go away from putting D-James on him, at least initially, to keep James from getting in foul trouble. If Beasley starts lighting up Conner or Gary, I could see him giving Damion some time on him, too.

6-2 Horns, under 16
Beasley with an early foul is the story of the game so far.

Fine start
Horns are looking good. AJ or Day-mo need to knock down a shot. Beasley is gonna score 30+; and that's ok. Just stop the rest of them.
by jimmer on Feb 25, 2008 8:18 PM CST 0 recs
too many
...early turnovers. They're a good defensive team, but we can't try to force things.
by junglerules on Feb 25, 2008 8:20 PM CST 0 recs
Like!
KSU's guards will kill them before Beasley can touch the ball. Need more pressure. DJ, stop that now.
by Horn Brain on Feb 25, 2008 8:20 PM CST 0 recs
Gorgeous
AJ Abrams with a terrific look there. He could've jacked one there. Finds Damion for the better shot.
by PB @ BON on Feb 25, 2008 8:20 PM CST 0 recs
Our transition game
is keeping us in this.
That and like two blocks on Beasley.

Good D by Texas
so far.
Beasley is fantastic but can be frustrated easily.

lots of early fouls on texas
atchley and abrams with 2
by billyzane on Feb 25, 2008 8:24 PM CST 0 recs
Fouls mounting
We're doing a great job of making the right Wildcats shoot outside shots. They're doing what they do on the offensive glass, though. We gotta clear the boards.
by PB @ BON on Feb 25, 2008 8:24 PM CST 0 recs
11-10 Texas, under 12
KSU getting too many offensive rebounds and second looks. Our transition D has been pretty good though.
Offense looks fine but may struggle now that AJ and Connor are both out with foul trouble. Time for Wingman to step up again.
by awiggo on Feb 25, 2008 8:26 PM CST 0 recs
they haven't been able to hit shots
Maybe we'll go to a zone??
by junglerules on Feb 25, 2008 8:28 PM CST 0 recs
Great defensive possession by Alexis!
First deflects the ball from Beasley, then corrals the board.

Terrible scouting
there. Johnson finally goes to his right shoulder and has to shoot a fade away. Walker fouls. Nice job, Bill.

k-state not dealing with it well.

Martin
is kind of like an NBA coach. He can yell loudly but it doesn't mater: the players aren't listening.

Augustin?
Out of the shooting slump, into a passing one?

DJ outplaying everyone again
Hopefully the nation is watching this game. If DJ plays awesome, he might get some POY consideration as well. The OU coach thinks he should get some POY love.

I know Beasley is good but constantly getting second looks and pushing us around down low.

Triple team beasley
Double team walker. None of these other jokers can shoot.

Can't wait to see...

by Horn Brain on Feb 25, 2008 8:39 PM CST 0 recs
18-15 Texas, under 8 timeout
Beasley is starting to keep every rebound on both ends. Not a good sign.
Connor, AJ, and Gary all with 2 fouls now.
