Big time maturation from Myck today. So sorry to displease the commentators though. Sheesh they wanted a UCLA win.

Definitely and LA based crew, I have to listen to these guys all year...

by HornsUpInLA on Dec 3, 2011 5:39 PM CST up reply actions

Texas goes to LA

and wins by 10. Takes early body blows as UCLA comes out of gate super hot. Then the lights went out. Literally. And the rest was all Longhorns. From down 11 to a 10 point win.

Big time efforts from JCB and Kabongo.

My glass is back to half full.

Much needed win against a team that isn't very good

a loss and I’m wondering if we’re even tournament bound

by goingforthecorner on Dec 3, 2011 5:51 PM CST reply actions

Very impressed with how much guys like Myck, Wang, and Chap stepped up. Especially Myck. So much for the tentative version from a few weeks ago. Of course, Covan did his thing per usual when it’s needed.

by GoHornsGo90 on Dec 3, 2011 6:20 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah, it's very important to see Kabongo progress in the last few games

Brown is great but Kabongo will be the X-factor in determining whether or not we’re a bubble team or someone that could perhaps make some noise in the tournament.

Would like to see us start better though. Two consecutive games now where we get off to a horrible start.

by goingforthecorner on Dec 3, 2011 6:51 PM CST up reply actions

En route

To some serious positive momentum into next season when we finally bring in some height, assuming everybody comes back (which I’m sure you’re never heard before).
