Hey, I think the whole team got KD’s new shoes!

Nice touch on the fade pass by JCB to Kabongo earlier
Get him in football pads (Obligatory snarky BBall to FBall QB comment.)

So good at getting position to take charges. Where did this come from?

9-5 Temple at first TO.
McClellan about to check in. Need more length on the floor
sloppy passes
This is the first game I have watched this season (thank you LHN). So I am just getting to know these young players.
3rd Degree Longhorn
We aren't playing much as a team.
hard to believe that there are set plays watching the horns trying to put something together
3rd Degree Longhorn
Our guys have got to stop going under screens
Little bits of separation have been enough for Temple to hit 3s
Sterling Gibbs

I feel like we play much better
When the opponent has played the night before.

Temple with a great mix of dribble hand off and back door cuts
Texas having a hard time staying disciplined
Score points, get benched.
Barnes FTW.

I think Barnes thinks he's being genius when he pulls that crap.
But players just think “WTF?” and lose confidence in his ability.

Nice points in the paint for Chappy.

Not sure why I posted this here lol.

He's potentially so good, but soooo young
Making a LOT of mistakes against these veterans from Philly.

The quality of shots for Temple vs. Texas is the difference in the game.
Temple generating solid offense both in half court and transition.
Texas having to make a lot of tough shots or get to the FT line
It's amazing we're only down 4 right now

Too many turnovers. This young group is not yet a team able to anticipate each other.
Great athletes though.
3rd Degree Longhorn
He's going to have to be extraordinary for us to win this game

Aledo TD goes back up 2 scores after Manvel was closing. Aledo 35-21
Still not TDs for Gray
I like the way Temple plays
They’re going to be a tough out when/if they get Michael Eric back. They really miss him today.

game previews suggested we had a good chance if our guards didn't get into foul trouble.
Looks like our bigs are the ones with the fouls
3rd Degree Longhorn
I guess it isn't a bad thing for Temple to be in the bonus
they are struggling at the line
3rd Degree Longhorn
Nice adjustment by Texas to get out on rebounds and made shots
Change in tempo has really helped Texas open up the floor for Offense
Anyone watch RB Jonathon Gray
from Aledo? Our future RB did well in H.S. Title game
fortunately, Temple has been awful from the FT line
Lost several possessions that way.

Amen. +1. ^^^^^
Whatever the kids are saying these days. YES to this!!

Great moves by Barnes in 2nd half
Running the UCLA high-low with Chapman and Brown; turning Kabongo loose; leaving Chapman in the game (a huge influence on both ends, but especially on defense); spreading the floor to yield better shot selection, etc., etc., etc.
Good win against a quality opponent.
