Pittman started against Baylor. Chap started against OU. Is it time for Damion to rejoin the starting lineup? I'd say so.

two tos already. AJ with a steal. sort of.

Looking unsure

not even trying on off glass, so far.

Not sure about that matchup. Adv. ISU. Although, he may not be 100% healthy.

Both baskets in the post now

to find connor after the pick.

All points from inside the arc and all from forwards/centers. Very different start for the Horns.

wangmene in early.

I want James to have a big game. Looks like Chapp is on his way in.

Ahh. two offensive boards for ISU.

ISU very sloopy with the ball as well. Four or five turnovers at least.

6-2 Horns, under 16 timeout.

Is we don't have all this BOOOOO on every single possession.

We should be up by at least double digits by now. Iowa State's offense is horrible.

They're stuffing the paint with tall people

ISU has lots of height but little muscle. Texas should own the glass.

Need to keep spreading the guards, isolating the post. 6 of 8 points in iso post moves

move by G-unit. Kept his dribble, worked to the middle of the lane.

the access road anology from Barnes was kind of lame.

Not playing any defense at all

Did JD Lewis just get a def rebound?

Gary a little lazy to loose ball right before the break.

Horns showing ability to score inside against less physical defenders. AJ and DJ need to look inside first and fire away second.

Thank you, JD LEwis

Juri is just clumsy.

but at least we're going inside.

We're 0-5 from three. Bad bad start.

That was a great pivot

Refs took away a monster dunk from Dexy.

And we already look tired.

ISU is not good. There isn't any other way to put it. This is definitely one of the threee worst teams in the conference.

Sloppy early and lots of fouls recently. Not a lot of flow to this game.

AJ starting to get on track. ISU couldn't buy a bucket in the first five minutes. Now they appear to be getting some of the looks that they want. Time to pick it up on the defensive end.

on the high pick defense. Earlier this year, at A&M, he was overrunning every play. Great job getting the tie up.

so many unforced errors.

Nice give and go from AJ to GJ

don't foul the jumpshooter Alexis!

That was a good defensive possession sans the foul, and I like GJ making his FTs.

What the hell are we doing? Sloppy with the ball, missed shots from point blank range, forced perimeter jumpers, missed assigments on pick and roll defense....

Not a good half for the Horns. Hopefully the execution and efficiency will change after the break.

Providing much-needed offense.

He looks sluggish and awkward

finishing in the paint.

wow get him out of there! Looks like Pittman should've started.

That's as bad as I've seen us look this year

Maybe these guys were too focused on the KU game.

2-11 from the field.

Other than AJ's three three-pointers, some nice work in the paint by Gary, and decent work on the glass on the offensive end, that half sucked. Texas struggled with turnovers, easy finishes, and on defense against a terrible shooting team. DJ was out of control and had no luck finishing over taller ISU players in the paint. Damion did nothing after two early buckets, Connor missed some easy ones including a dunk, and Mason still appears to slip on just about every change of direction.

Forget that half. We need 20 minutes of something totally different.

But with the way the schedule is, this is a crucial half.

Make a layup

Slow paced game and Connor is playing like it's 2006.

followed by a 7-0 run to start the second. Ouch.

Connor with a strong look there. Excellent.

Mason can't change directions without falling down.

He's adding very little

They're not calling the fouls on DJ's drives. (They should - he's getting hammered - but they're not. So make a change, damnit.)

We're getting killed on the whistles.

with solid defense there. Both hands straight up. If the offense creates the contact, it is not a foul.

And we've shot 3 free throws.

DJ needs to drive to the basket with the intent of kicking it out. We should have wide open looks.

Wow, this is freaking ugly. Giving up too many off rebounds, not getting good looks on offense, and have gotten the raw end of the last few whistles. Must get some stops to get back in this and please feed the post on offense.

Iowa St decided to just give us the three to everyone but AJ, but DJ can't hit, Connor and Mason wont even try them.

now we running.

JESUS CHRIST - this is disgusting

James missed a dunk like that. It's not our night.

Never seen anything like it.

Awful

What is he looking for?

We're hustling but not getting rewarded at all.

No more bs Hilton Magic.

Maybe Connor is under the weather because he has been terrible today. Block out, please.

Chap and Alexis haven't been any better. Gary Johnson only post player who has showed up.

We need to settle down and get some buckets and then rebound on defense.

are you serious?

good pass by GJ

We're trying to play him like a SG. Bad move. He should be playing like a PG and get everyone involved. Stop shooting jumpers and penetrate.

Come on Horns.

what can a defender do if he cant front a guy down low?  I watched it again and still didnt see the foul.  

And there they finally call a three in the paint and the crowd boos...who can you boo at that point except your own player...?

GJ gets open and scores. These recent GJ good games are no fluke. We NEED this.

We're gradually coming back, but Haluska buried it.

Is killing us.

Lovely.

It may not show up in the stats, but this has been Gary Johnson's best game as a Horn.

This one is not over. We're going to have to get some stops and some rebounds. There is plenty of time left.

Just like that, it's a 4 pt game with AJ's three.

Great help defense from Johnson (playing like a superstar) then a huge huge three from Abrams. Four point game.

Aj take over!!

Nice shot by Gary, a def reb, and another three by AJ. Thank you. Finish strong. 53-49, lots of time left. Keep getting stops.

AHRHGGhGHH!!!!!

man that sucks

How many dumb errors are we gonna make?

With Gary and Damion at the forwards.

BS that should've been an AND ONE

C'mon DJ. NEED these.

are you kidding me? Why is he even shooting 18 shots to begin with?

At least he's still making his FTs.

atleast he is playing good d!

Things have improved dramatically since we took DJ off the point

Make your free throws.

Where was the foul????

why are they booing???

Clark clearly over the back

55-53 ISU. Great call by Rick allowing Mason to run the point and really challenge ISU defensively.

That the net on our basket is too tight. Thats why the one James dunk went out. The net is too tight.

Blew that whistle before there was any contact at all. And then there was no contact. Terrible.

By Mason. AJ hot hot hot

God I love this kid

AJ taking good looks tonight.

58-up

DJ gets a roll. Texas by two.

Let's go, D

Timeout ISU. Love it. Horns once again showing bounce back ability. ISU can boo all the want, but more than a few calls have gone their way.

Keep it up Horns. Love it.

He can make them, but it's not getting the offense involved.

At least go to the basket.

Johnson with a steal and the ISU just pushes him to the ground. No whistle.

ISU ball with just 4 on the shot clock. Great perimeter D by Gary.

Get a stop here, please. And don't forget to rebound.

no reason why they should score. Don't do anything stupid. DON'T FOUL.

Important clock management issue here. We should have two possessions to their one if we do it right.

all bout the W in the Big 12. Lets get this at the end and prepare for KU.

Okay 1 min left. With game tied, I like for the Horns to go 2 for 1. Don't run a full 35 off. Shoot quickly and we will get the ball back.

DJ, AJ, and GJ all making them.

Outstanding

Good d forced timeout

Tie game, 36 seconds left. Do this right.

not a good fou.

AJ?
DJ?
James?
Do you get it down low?

DJ's having a horrible game. I hope he doesn't shoot this.

Don't care about his struggles. He can create contact and get to the line if he has to.

they have at least 2 guys with 4 fouls. Now lets penetrate and get them DQ'ed

Overtime.

Would have like to have had DJ keep that and create his own look.

run that play about 2 seconds earlier for the offensive rebound possibilty

but can't finish them yet. Once he does, he will be great.

on both our shots so far.

I have to be careful when I refresh, because I am at least 30 seconds behind you guys.

Damion at the line. Take your time.

Since 12 minute mark in second half

Make the secocnd

C'mon

Blatant kick on the ball.

Works out - Johnson with another bucket

Good timeout by Rick. Set something up. Give it to Gary on the interior and have him look to AJ for the kick-out.

Rock Chalk

and being at home that i can see things
that people on the court MAY not be able to see
but this is some blatant bullshit
i'm lucky i can't drink this weekend (meds)
because i'd have broken something
the kick ball
the over the back
the james foul that was either a no call or on isu
there's a lot of bullshit going on
and i hope that after watching this game the longhorns can send in a tape
like they do in the nba
because this official crew should not be allowed to do more games

Gary Johnson has made the transition to college hoops. Love it.

4 pt lead

Nice DJ

That's what I want us to use ending regulation.

looks like we got this

Clark fouls out.

Gary Johnson or AJ Abrams? Both were absolutely fantastic.

GJ makes one, then James rebounds GJ miss. DJ fouled.

Team of character shows face again.

13 pts down in 2nd half.

and this whiny, bitchy crowd.

touch the ball. Gary really shooting FTs well. AJ and DJ are clutch as well.

Considering the pitiful play for the first 30 minutes of action.

and McDermott still bitching.

General consensus was that we got dicked by the refs, namely on the uneven calls on the hand checks.

Still, we lost cause our offense fuckin died in OT.

That was the best crowd we've had since last year versus Kansas.

#6 G-town losing to Louisville.
#8 Wisconsin losing to Purdue.
#10 Mich St. lost to Iowa
