something tells me that was a catlab production
Dinosaurs, basketball, and DJ riding on the back of a pterodactyl?
Now I'm pumped!

Our D loos good early
contesting all the Hurricanes shots

18-9 Texas early
We look good on the Defensive end and were hitting our shots from 3. Miami started out in a zone and have since switched.

tempo good for the Horns...
bad for my heart.
This team is so freaking exciting.
Wooooo!

Pittman in
and makes a mental error saving a Miami airball. Hopefully, that's his last mistake for the day.

Dex not loking good so far.
He;s not getting himself the space needed to recieve the ball down low.

Great steal
& follow by Conner. Needed that one to stop Miami's mini run.
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 1:31 PM CDT 0 recs
great start.
hitting the 3s, getting the turnovers, augustin being an early presence.
by UTrumbo on Mar 23, 2008 1:33 PM CDT 0 recs
Great start.
Hot shooting. Good defense. Only thing that worries me is that Miami is getting plenty of 2nd looks.
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 1:33 PM CDT 0 recs
26-14 Texas 10:56 left in the 1st.
We're shooting great and defending really well from the guards. We did lose something down low when Dex came in and I would like to think we can rotate Wing or Chappy in if Dex isn't having a great game.
I guess Gary won't be in action today. He would be killing Miami right now.

on the radio..
they said that johnson was warming up and was "maybe probable." Sounds alot like media doublespeak to me.

8 assists on 17 field goals, 2 turnovers
Nice and efficient, even with the frenetic pace.
by hornbone on Mar 23, 2008 1:34 PM CDT 0 recs
nice to see
the offense from Mason. Great player even if he never scored again. Looks like Miami is susceptible to turnovers.
by owenh on Mar 23, 2008 1:35 PM CDT 0 recs
Connor
going to be on the bench for the rest of the 1st half.
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 1:36 PM CDT 0 recs
Lets' keep running with them.
DJ and AJ will find the open shooter in transition when they can't keep up.

We're pulling a Pacman Jones on Thug U
Make it rain baby.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 23, 2008 1:37 PM CDT 0 recs
is it?
I kinda felt like they got some open looks at 3's that McClinton knocked down when we went zone. They were long shots, but he hit them. Anyway, we'll see what transpires....

I think were disrupting their
passes to their big men they were doing to start off the game. We're cutting that off forcing them to take more outside shots.

Nice to see we are getting
to the basket and hitting from 3
by UT2001 on Mar 23, 2008 1:40 PM CDT 0 recs
So far so good.
DJ and Texas are disecting the Canes D. 3 pointers are falling. Atch with 12 already. We look like we might roll.
by jimmer on Mar 23, 2008 1:42 PM CDT 0 recs
DJ makes up for the bad pass
AJ can't miss right now.

anyone else
listening to westwood one's coverage on mmod???
these guys are hiliraous.....dj abrams

On fire
Its games like this where I wish they would skip halftime and keep playing. The break tends to take away momentum.
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 1:48 PM CDT 0 recs
Justin Mason.......
Are you kidding me? Unbelievable hustle!
by vyrexall on Mar 23, 2008 1:48 PM CDT 0 recs
Mason and Atch have 2 fouls
makes me nervous. Are they going out for the rest of the half?
by hornbone on Mar 23, 2008 1:49 PM CDT 0 recs
Like to see
Texas extend the lead here. 15+ point lead would be nice.
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 1:53 PM CDT 0 recs
good TO by Rick
get our focus back and get a bucket or 2
by UT2001 on Mar 23, 2008 1:54 PM CDT 0 recs
Why is Pittman
coming out to the 3 pt. line to guard their big man. Then he gets taken to the hoop.
by vyrexall on Mar 23, 2008 1:55 PM CDT 0 recs
Hope we don't end up...
... with another Henry Melton. Dexter running around and shooting floaters... gag.
Kidding, of course.

Interesting move
by Miami not to hold for the last shot.
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 2:00 PM CDT 0 recs
I agree
Can't complain too much. The shooting has been great, and the D has been solid. I guess my only complaint would be that we have only drawn three or four fouls on them, and we have no free throws. If the three's stop dropping in the next half, we have to be able to adjust.

main negatives to me
are the turnovers and fouls. They shot 8 free throws to none for us.
Over all, though, they're shooting only 35%, which is always a good sign. I'll take an 11 point half time lead. Let's just keep it up and not let is slip away early in the second half.
by hornbone on Mar 23, 2008 2:03 PM CDT 0 recs
McClinton
pay more attention to him in the 2nd half. That's when he went off in the St. Mary's game. 32 pts in the 2nd half.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 23, 2008 2:05 PM CDT 0 recs
I still ant to see Dexy
Wing and Chap have a great game. Our front court reserves need a good game on the D end.
by UT2001 on Mar 23, 2008 2:05 PM CDT 0 recs
3pt Shooting at halftime
Texas 9/15 60%
Abrams 4/6
Atchley 2/4
Augustin 1/3
James 1/1
Mason 1/1
Texas did not shoot a single free throw
by Lincoln on Mar 23, 2008 2:11 PM CDT 0 recs
Let's be thankful for what we have...
I went over the the Miami SB Nation site and found no open game thread or live blogging.
No knock on the site or anything, just really, really thankful to be a Horn and have BON on gameday.
by UT2001 on Mar 23, 2008 2:14 PM CDT 0 recs
First free throws
Good to see them attacking the basket early in the 2nd half.
by sc99p on Mar 23, 2008 2:25 PM CDT 0 recs
Looks like Barnes stressed going inside
2 possessions - 2 looks inside. Only 1 point though.
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 2:25 PM CDT 0 recs
You're Right
I think Connor is easily the MIP for Texas, but I think it's an easy argument that he is the MIP nationally as well.

did i hear that right?
McClinton with 92% at the FT line?
by UTrumbo on Mar 23, 2008 2:27 PM CDT 0 recs
Great defense to start the 2nd
Need to stretch the lead here.
Thanks Damion!
by longhorn543 on Mar 23, 2008 2:30 PM CDT 0 recs
Hard to believe we're that good
on the fundamentals on the D side but on O we miss the fundamentals like FT's. We're probably better from 3 than than the line.
by UT2001 on Mar 23, 2008 2:30 PM CDT 0 recs
Conner with a moving screen
usually picks up one a game so no big deal. Horns lead by 13 and the only thing I can complain about is a few turnovers and FT attempts/makes.
If we keep up the pressure on D we should coast here.
by UT2001 on Mar 23, 2008 2:32 PM CDT 0 recs
Miami is bad...
I'll be disappointed if we let this get any closer.
