Seniors
Will any of them graduate?
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
OU SUCKS!
Please win.

hollis thompson for gtown
went to my highschool, 2 years older than me. he was such a scoring threat before he transfered his senior year. nice to see him start

How Did Jai Earn A Start?????????????
Answer: By shooting 14% from the field during Big 12 play (3-22). Brilliant!!!!!
I Don't Believe It
Until I see it with my own eyes, I don’t think even Barnes would come up with the notion of starting Jai.
brown cant start, balbays out
u better start believing
by ibleedburntorange49-9 on Mar 1, 2010 6:57 PM CST up reply actions
Better Options
Mason at point, Bradley at the 2 guard, plus James, Pittman, and Johnson or Hamilton – no need to start Jai – what’s the logic???
i hate mason at point.
doesnt work. not saying that lucas at point does but….idk we’ll see
by ibleedburntorange49-9 on Mar 1, 2010 7:43 PM CST up reply actions
Agreed
Mason is no point guard – but Jai is in a funk and Mason DOES play excellent defense – let’s face it, these are really our only options unless Brown can go
i think that mason is starting at the 2 with bradley at the 3
would make sense cuz its senior night
by ibleedburntorange49-9 on Mar 1, 2010 7:49 PM CST up reply actions
everyone hates him at the point.
but we really dont have a better option. shit luck.

Oh come on,
Let’s go HORNS! I’m tired of avoiding basketball talk with the Baylor grad I work with. He should never have sympathy for me when it comes to sports right?
TTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I even named my son Kolt.
For some reason
I have a lot of optimism tonight.
Mark my words, I think tonight will be a turning point for our team. Not necessarily for a title run at this point, but just our overall improvement.
I hope you are right. But it gets hard getting your heart ripped out regularly.
I wonder if this is what it is like to be aggie.
I hope your right.
I’ve been waiting for this team to turnaround and frankly, I’m a bit tired that it’s not happening. I support them 100% but can’t stand to see them under-perform most nights. It’s hard to watch them.

Of course...
This isn’t based on my (lack of) basketball knowledge. Just a gut feeling.
NO. You said to mark your words.
Don’t try to get out of this. Your optimism has to carry us through tonight.
Fair enough
I’m willing to accept the possible repercussions of my prediction.
for the above discussion, jai is starting... heard from rick barnes mouth himself
they announced it on espn earlier today
god help us
"We'll be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!"
Maybe Barnes Misspoke
Perhaps he was trying to say that “Jai was struggling” and instead said “starting” (just hoping, I’m sure what you heard was accurate)

Down 10 again...
Whats r record for number of times down by double figures in conference play
I think I may do some accounting homework and fed tax reading to improve my night
if this gets too much worse. Gah.
Penetration leads to a lot of open shots
Something I remember from the Augustin era
It's been especially OU though
… remember the last game in Norman? OU leaped out to a massive lead off of nearly perfect 3 shooting. It’s utterly ridiculous
TEXAS FIGHT
Our young guys don't feel like guarding them
I guess they thought they’d automatically miss those shots on the road.

Barnes said Brown is playing good "D"
What game is he watching? Brown made one 3, otherwise he’s been poor – terrible D and 2 very ill-advised shoots
He's from the Bobby Knight school of basketball commentary.
(Base all of your observations on the last three minutes.)
notes
we are losing to a team that lost to U of H… at home! the sky has fallen
hamilton is the most uncoordinated player ive ever seen don the burnt orange
our defense continues to regress all season
im hoping we can win 2 more games the rest of the season

Not suprising though, that our coaches would not have our players well prepared to defend their 3 pt shooters.

i think Mack gets it. The truth though is that Mack’s coaches and player development philosophies used to suck.

Nice drive Hamilton! Thought he could've jammed it.
so smooth

he needs to work on leaping ability this offseason
he is long and smooth, but not exactly explosive heading to the rim
shot selection and passing and dribbling and defense
are a bit more important

That’s a flop and half.

It was a flop
but easily could’ve been called an offensive foul even without the theatrics. I agree with Knight for once.
shut up Musberger
can we pay to NEVER have him at a UT game EVER!
I like Musberger calling games

Pittman gettin calls he should be gettin all yr
College officials just dont know how to call games with a guy as big as Pittman
I think officials are as much to blame as Pittman for his foul issues
Since the comeback has started
We’re playing like the 17-0 team. I can feel it. I can sense the swagger and confidence. Brown and Hamilton have A LOT to do with that. Pittman being productive and on the court is also huge.

Question on Bradley...
Anyone think hes having to focus more on Defense with Balbay gone … and thats whats effecting his Offense?
i think your point has merit.
it’s harder to shoot when you’re running all over the place on D.
I think he might be fatigued
he’s played a number of 35+ minute games. Could be hitting a wall as well. Barnes might want to limit his minutes a tad before the tournament. I wouldn’t mind starting Hamilton either.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 1, 2010 10:07 PM CST up reply actions
How do a 6'7 power forward in HS and a 6'1" PG in HS
play the same position on our team?
You think Jordan is a PF?
He’s a true SF that could play the 2 guard. Today our best rotation looked like it was Brown, Hamilton, James, Johnson, and Pittman. I would not mind if that was our starting lineup.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 1, 2010 10:10 PM CST up reply actions
he's pretty streaky
sad as it is, i see him as AJ Abrams 2.0 until i see him drive to the basket with authority instead of settling for jump shots
We need to not pass to Damo at this point.

I think this could be a turning point in the season. Maybe the guys are rallying around our injured players and feeling more confident in a smaller rotation. Or perhaps I’m just backfitting the present to the past….whatever it is…I’m feeling good about our next game.
and no1 is complementing barnes on "good coaching"
even tho it shouldnt be “good coaching.” we were a bad FT shooting team, now we’re a decent one(for one game, could be fools gold). hamilton was a detriment now hes one of our bigger assets.

dont want to get too excited
but rick should focus on the last 8 minutes of this games as what can happen if everyone does their part and trusts the guys next to em. we can be special, the talents there, no question. its all mental. hopefully this is a self realization on the part of the team
We're 35-43 from the foul line in our last 2 games, just sayin!
by goingforthecorner on Mar 1, 2010 10:21 PM CST reply actions
i think
if you notice rick really concentrated on everyone having one fluid motion with no pauses once the shooting motion started. watch closesly and everyone has changed that
It's either good coaching or we're gravitating to a more reasonable season average
after a ton of early season variance…that would be awesome for us.

Coach Barnes postgame comments
“Thought J’Covan played his best game of the year.”
“I thought we talked more from the bench. Guys were really into the game, other than the first 4 minutes.”
“Thought Gary did a great job on Crocker in the second half.”
“It was similar to the way we played earlier in the year.”
“Our guys have really worked at it (foul shooting).”
“We took care of the ball, had 5 guys in double-digit scoring. If you do that you’re a pretty good team.”
“Avery needs a couple of days off. Could really tell he had some fatigue.”
“The energy went up in the second half. Seniors really stepped up.”
Coach very talkative tonight. I would categorize it as “energetic”.
