Big Game up in my neck of the woods...
I saw Texas play MSU in Detroit. Disappointing outing that night. Hoping for a better result this time. This is for bragging rights around here. Hook’em Horns
A win tonight would be sweet
I think Izzo is one of the very best coaches around and I admire the way he prepares his team to play. Our last two go-rounds with MSU were dynamite games, but we came out on the wrong end. If we can beat these guys tonight, it will be a real milestone for the program.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
A very good early season test
Texas football, for some reason, gets labeled “soft” by national media every year. Most UT fans that watch every game know this is highly inaccurate. Just ask ou’s “hard-nosed” teams that now annually get their arses handed to them by the Longhorns.
But Texas Basketball is totally the opposite. Nationally, everyone knows they are one of the toughest and most physical units year-in and year-out. Michigan State, however, is one of the few that has an even tougher reputation in basketball. Always very tough – physically and mentally – a tribute to Izzo’s coaching. This is going to be a great barometer to see the toughness and talent come together for the Horns. Since Coach Barnes has showed up, this is the first team I’ve really thought is arguably the best in the nation. We’ll never know until we play KU and then play in the tourney. Enjoy this fun season.
Wonder what the attendance will be today

Great start!
"I don't ever miss free throws. I'm like 100-percent from the free throw line. I just don't think about missing and if you think about missing you're going to miss. I just take my time and know I'm going to make it and I do," McClellan said.
Thankfully it's Bilas and O'Brien,
since the Rockets are pre-empting Craig and Eddie on 610 Houston.
Nice to see Bradley make a J to start the game
he couldn’t buy a J against UNC.

Bradley is quick!
He is getting better and better quickly!

He can make his own shot
A dynamic offensive player…sure he can’t play defense…but could Durant?

I guess I should be happy it's a tie game
too many dumb shots. They have at least a few buckets specifically because of our offense gives them transition opportunities.

Texas got way out of sorts with Bradley and Pittman on the bench.
Not sure if Pittman is banged up or what. Hasn’t been on the floor in a while.

izzo is right, these refs are more ticky tack than an nfl zebra crew
hamilton is a pooooooor mans kenton paulino. seriously someone argue the fact that he is not one of the 5 worst players on this team right now (yes i know he has potential, but hes playling like my sister right now)
where is pittman? we havent looked good since 16 min left in the 1st half

OK, can't stay away from open thread...
So, my input for what it’s worth:
JAY BILAS IS THE BEST ANALYST ESPN EMPLOYS! ANY SPORT..ANY TIME. BAR NONE.
"We don't freestyle Texas Fight, big boy." - Coach Brown
Lucas hasn't been bad actually
leads the team with 2 assists. Having both on the floor at the same time would be great offensively. Not so great defensively.

rest of 1st half
brown
pittman
bradley
james
balbay
period!

wait so now you WANT Balbay to play?

please tell me pittman is hurt
otherwise Barnes must be having a stroke for not putting him in
whats he have, like 4 min the 1st half?
"We'll be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!"
by greenspointexas on Dec 22, 2009 6:45 PM CST reply actions
I think Barnes is just bringing him back to reality.
2 quick fouls…he’s still all amped up from the NC game…
BTW, isn't that 54b in the Dos Equis commercial...I'm just saying.
"We don't freestyle Texas Fight, big boy." - Coach Brown
Barking Carnival nailed it so far
Trips Right on his 3 keys to the game:
2) Officiating. This will sound funny especially considering the opponent, but if the game is officiated like a typical Big 10 scrum where they let you bump and bang, MSU has little if any chance. If Texas is allowed to push and shove and negate the position rebounding style MSU employs, Texas is likely able to duplicate the dominance on the glass they displayed Saturday. If you see an over the back whistle or two early on, buckle your seat belt. Same holds true on the perimeter where Brown, Balbay, and Bradley would like to be physical with Lucas and Lucious.

Foul trouble, Barnes being real conservative with him
at least he’ll be fresh in the 2nd half.

come out with sore butt holes and more focus. way too many stupid mistakes.

agree
need to keep pittman in for the entire 2nd half until he fouls out
they are out rebounding us like crazy

by greenspointexas on Dec 22, 2009 7:05 PM CST up reply actions
I agree that foul trouble negated some of our best players, but our depth allowed us to keep it close.
Regardless, this will be a good game to prove we can adjust to going without Pittman to win a game if need be. If we make free throws, we’d be ahead….
I agree
Morgan, Roe, Lucas, Summers, and Green all with 2 fouls.
Keep driving and forcing more fouls!

How about just a little CONTROL...slow down...just a little...
We have NO answer down low when Dexy goes out.
Sad, we're shooting 52% from the field
and yet we only have 34 points. Why?
12 turnovers, and we’re just 4-11 from the foul line. Also, only 2 offensive rebounds. MSU/Texas rebounding battle at a total standstill. Hopefully Dexy changes that when he returns.

I'll never forget ol' what's-his-name.
MSU
equals Pat Riley’s Knicks. Rather draw you into a street fight than play ball
I don't mind getting into a street fight
it’s just that the refs won’t allow it. Would LOVE to have Pittman in a street fight.
by goingforthecorner on Dec 22, 2009 7:08 PM CST up reply actions
could be worse given Pittman spent most of the game on the bench.
…and what’s with izzo whining until the refs overlook traveling and msu fouls? why does he merit a conference with the refs?
...and we've found out how to spark a Texas basketball crowd.
violate the code of our mausoleum with noisemakers!
MSU shooting 50% like we are
but our defense has disrupted their offense. 15 turnovers.

great flop
3/19/2009 - Dogus Balbay Made a Three-Pointer. Never Forget.
when did Barnes become such a passive coach
i can’t remember the last time he got into an official or took up for a player.
maybe we are finding the role for hamilton....spot up shooter.....
once people start running at him, he can put the ball on the floor and attack the basket
Bad foul on Hamilton
not good. They’re actually hitting their FTs

HAMILTON AGAINNN

Hamilton quietly has 14
he’s had his awful moments in this game, but that’s exactly why Barnes has him out there. Not many players that can shoot threes on this team.
by goingforthecorner on Dec 22, 2009 7:42 PM CST reply actions
34% for the season
but 4-6 tonight. Better 3pt% than FT%
by goingforthecorner on Dec 22, 2009 7:44 PM CST up reply actions
THIS is why you can't bench Hamilton....I think Barnes is using a longer leash with him as he tries to figure it out.
Brown and Bradley are there, and I hope Hamilton is on the way
Remember Kenny Taylor?
if we could just get Hamilton to shoot spot-up threes like that, he’ll be a very nice role player on this team.
by goingforthecorner on Dec 22, 2009 7:43 PM CST reply actions
no doubt
but right now when he tries to create, bad things happen
by goingforthecorner on Dec 22, 2009 7:46 PM CST up reply actions
Great game considering...
Pittman has been handicapped by the refs because hes a beast
Bilas is objective
per my comment at the top of the thread. Just a stupid topic this early in the season. Would his employer allow him to say anything else at this point?
Gary way too aggressive on D there
gotta be careful. They’ll be shooting FTs

MSU now 10-12 from the foul line
if we lose, you can point straight to FT shooting.

He used to knock down shots all the time...
Just has not this season.
"I don't ever miss free throws. I'm like 100-percent from the free throw line. I just don't think about missing and if you think about missing you're going to miss. I just take my time and know I'm going to make it and I do," McClellan said.
you get the idea..

Classy
absorbing the shot clock violation.
11 point win, now the closest margin of victory. Never thought we’d beat UNC and MSU by 24 points combined.
Feels damn good to defeat an Izzo coached team.

And in the suites :)

You're right! Big win
I am also glad Pittman was into the game still and not sulking. What a pair of wins this week. What a Christmas gift!
It's a Horns' world. Even Aggies play hoops with a burnt orange ball.
I love this team so, so much.
I’m all-aboard the sunshine express to the final four!

Who would have thought going into the game
that Balbay would only have 3 less points than Kalin Lucas?

Only real negative of the game
we actually shot better from three than the foul line… facepalm.
