Reasons Wake Wins
1. Isi turns the corner against the slower footed Mason, draws fouls on the Texas bigs, and forces Lucas into action.
2. Aminu frustrates Dexter with his strength and quickness on defense and gets DaMo and/or Gary into foul trouble on offense.
3. Fast break points.
4. Texas is a mismatched jumble of parts that hasn’t remotely resembled a team in weeks. Damion will bring it—that’s for sure. Beyond that, we don’t know. Does Bradley play aggressively and take the ball to the rim? Does Hamilton play smart or revert to me-first basketball? Do we get anything out of Mason on offense? Will Rick trust Wangmene or Chappy or Hill for a few minutes here or there? Heck, we don’t even know if our coach will let our point guard play tonight. If the mind games with J’Covan and Hamilton continue, we’re doomed, regardless of how disfunctional and inconsistent Wake may be.
5. Save Damion, our best offensive players are our worst defensive players and vise versa.
--AW--
yup, we have a lot of good role players
but they’re all one-dimensional, and you can only play 5 of them on the court at the same time.

No
back in Austin on Tuesday.
Got two tickets to the Houston Regional for sale if you’re interested. Lower level.
--AW--
so you only went for the first few days of this week?
think I’ll be working during the Sweet Sixteen, unfortunately
I’m making another trip to Vegas in May to continue an annual tradition with a buddy of mine.
Reason Texas Wins
1. Damion James—DaMo continues to be a mismatch at the college level. Aminu is taller and may have more NBA upside, but Damion is a better college player.
2. Hamilton plays team basketball. Over the last few weeks, Jordan’s game has taken huge steps forward. If Rick lets him play, I expect Jordan to have a huge game.
3. By now, J’Covan has to have figured out what Rick wants and needs. Brown makes the necessary, not the spectacular pass, attacks the ball, and attemps to move his feet on defense.
4. Dexter plays like a man. This is a make some money game for Sexy Dex. If he plays strong and doesn’t back down, he has a chance to regain tons of lost pro money. Sadly Dexter rarely dominates elite competition, but maybe tonight.
5. The defense returns. Presumably, Texas got yelled at all week long about their recent defensive efforts or lack thereof. Wake is not a great offensive team, and if Texas plays good team defense, they should have no trouble cutting off driving lanes and protecting the defensive glass. If they do those two things, Wake won’t be able to shoot their way to victory.
6. Seniors. Damion, Dexter, and Mason will the ’Horns to at least one more victory.
--AW--
Dexter and $$$
he can really regain most of what he’s lost if he can hold his own against Cousins.

While I'm still not a fan of it
all these upsets and close upsets gave the NCAA a reason to add more teams to the tournament.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 18, 2010 8:31 PM CDT reply actions
actually I'd say the opposite
Adding more just makes it into a lottery where the best teams will lose upsets and the national championship becomes little more than the main event in the World Series of Poker. There are almost too many teams already in my eyes.

We are so unpredictable
we are loaded with wildcards – J’Covan, Bradley, Hamilton, Mason, Pittman
Injured – Balbay & Ward could really help with defensive depth
Hard workers no matter what – Gary Johnson, Damo
Bench after that – ???? Hill, Wingman, Chappy, Jai Lucas could get a combined 25 minutes
why does CBS put black in our logo?
…guess the same reason that the bball cheerleaders incorporate black in their unis?
Wake not good from three

Read an interesting point on Barking Carnival
the assistant coaches we’ve lost recently have affected us big time. I’m guessing they did the X’s and O’s, while Barnes was more like a manager and recruiter. Now our assistants are young and inexperienced.
Sure seems that way based on how our offense looks.

Hamilton
just seems like a young T-Mac to me – if he drives to the basket he could blow this wide. If he goes T-Slack he has to be really on to hit all those three’s. So far he’s been the wildcard stud.
Living and dying on Hamilton making three pointers...
Luckily he made them in the first half. Hate to see what the score would of been if he was off.

It's not ALL on him, but the game would in his hands and he didn't deliver.
I still love the guy with all my burnt orange heart. I hope he has a very successful NBA career. I’ll always remember him as one of the great longhorns to ever grace the hardwood of the Erwin Center.

Pretty funny
it took Rick Barnes to get Dino Gaudio his first NCAA win.
Interesting to see what happens next year
- Does Barnes hire an experienced assistant to manage game prep and game strategy?
- Does this waste of talent effect recruiting?
- Who plays the point next year? I assume J’Covan
- The basketball novelty of Pittman is gone and this should improve the team
Damion James is a great Longhorn
I am personally furious that RIck Barnes didn’t dial up an inbounds play to get J’Covan the ball to shoot the last free throws. As soon as Gary got fouled, I knew it was over.
Brown had the ball, but passed it to Johnson.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
Sad part
the guys that are inconsistent (read stupid) are the freshman that are returning and did not make progress. I see little hope for next year.
so, you're personally acquainted with the freshmen, right?
I assume you’ve confirmed that they’re stupid.
I really hope Brown matures.
Emotionally and as a leader on the court.

i was somewhat pleased
I was also sickened at the end. he was laughing after he gave up the offensive foul, missed two big FTs, etc.
Probably the biggest shock to me was him missing those two free throws.
I wanna say we were up 6 at the time? Extending it to 8 and buying us another possession would’ve been huge.

Barnes gets the talent here, but everyone knows he’s not the best strategist. I’m sure a lot will change if he ever gets a championship (on his own merit or riding the back of a superstar).

These kind of mistakes should have been made earlier in the season, but instead Barnes kept Brown on the bench.

Can you say dumb basketball? Why shoot 3’s when you are up by 8? Why try and get fancy dribbling the ball in the open court and get a charge. How many freaking dunks did Woods have off missed shots? WTF? Texas game WF that game….Do we start Fire Rick Barnes? Do we go there? Just bad, bad decisions….and what finally killed us? The simple FT.
Glad its over
Would have loved to see more 2-3 zone this year and tonight. when you have offensive players that suck at D you go to a zone. Rick never fully got this. I do not believe Rick Barnes is the coach of the future for the Longhorns. I tip my cap to him for building the bridge to greatness but I have no faith he can take the final step.
