9-8 Mizzou, under 16

Horns playing only zone so far. Mizzou hitting threes though.

Phil Pressey has amazing vision.

Horns have height adv and trying to work ball inside.

Horns have a chance if this is a half court game.

Announcers Unbearable

I know from this run Mizzou is on some might question it, but are we watching a basketball game or is this ESPN’s MLB preseason report. I mean, come on, they’ve missed so much of the play by play calls I’m tempted to change the channel. I’m working on stuff I can’t really devote my eyes to the set constantly and would be happy to have it on volume in the background if they were talking about the game. This is pathetic ESPN, you guys suck!!

That's Just It

Haven’t been able to see much of Horns with so many games on it but no LHN available. When we do get a game on a channel that is and the announcers aren’t even calling the game in favor of a 10 minute MLB promo it’s becoming impossible to connect with this team. At this rate I’ll know less about them after the game than I did before. Who’da thunk that was possible….oh yeah, it’s ESPN :(

38-25 Mizzou, under 4

Horns back standing after Mizzou landed punch after punch.

Things to like JCB with better lateral movement and more elevation from his rolled ankle. Kabongo solidly attacking the paint.

43-30 Mizzou at half

Honestly, it could have been worse.

Tigers are 8/11 from deep, Chap has two fouls and Wangmene has three.

The Texas zone didn’t work at all. Man wasn’t much better.

For Texas to have any shot in the second half, the Horns must get stops, not allow anything in transition and make sure the right players are shooting the ball (in the post, Myck on the drive, and JCB from anywhere — not Lewis).

So much closer if barnes got the ball to brown every possession. I don’t understand why we don’t get him the ball, he can score better than anyone on the team or else pass it to someone open.

We’ll be better in the 2nd half if chappy can stay off the bench. At least kabongo looks better

Yep pick and roll with JCB and a big.

Make ’em stop it. Play NBA ball. Keep going to the same play until the other team proves they can stop it. 2nd half against UNC I counted nine straight possessions and eight of those were pick & roll with JCB and big and we scored on 7 of the 8.

Sorry I didn't mean to make it sound like I was putting it on Brown.

He recruits great players, who, naturally, make the leap to the next level early. Not a knock on him at all, just an observation. Losing three first rounders in one offseason is not something you recover from anyways.

Well, that sucked

That’s Missouri basketball – three pointers, transition points, etc. They can score in a hurry and just did.

Pressey single-handedly killed our run

he’s a 30% 3 pt shooter but has made 3-5 today. Also with 9 assists 0 turnovers

Losing to Mizzou just feels so unnatural.

We’re supposed to dominate these guys.

Holmes just stood there and got run into.

Feet were set but slid under after Lewis left the floor. Bad call.

Yeah, I'm pretty proud with how we played overall

considering the calls and Lewis/McClellan having horrible shooting nights and Mizzou being unconscious from deep

Match-ups

Texas has played small for most of the game to matchup with Mizzou. In an ordinary game with two bigs on the floor, we wouldn’t be seeing this much Lewis.

Mizzou up 79-67, under 4

Not enough time left in this one.

Texas played decently but didn’t defend the three in the first half and really struggled to get back on D.

Don't tell that to Steve Blake and Juan Dixon.

Still having nightmares from that Duke comeback led by Jason Williams. Crowd was chanting overrated and then lost in OT. Classic.

84-73 Missouri

Positives: J’Covan Brown and Kabongo. Good effort on the glass.

Negatives: Transition D, 2-3 zone, shot selection from Lewis and McClellan

On to Manhattan next, look out.

Yeah a lot of poor shots not within the flow of the offense

I’d like to see Kabongo/Brown create more but it won’t help if Lewis/McClellan are building houses with their bricks

by goingforthecorner on Jan 14, 2012 2:03 PM CST up reply actions  

I like that matchup a lot better. K-St guards very unimpressive.

I want to see Barnes play our best players instead of trying to match up with other teams. Make them adjust to you not vice versa.

Overall the team attitude and competitive spirit was excellent today. Best of the year

If that means being a little over aggressive in our shot selection, I will take that. Against a Top 10 team on the road who played a great game, we didn’t duck our heads or turtle we kept fighting.

If we play like this the next 5 games we win at least 2 maybe sneak a 3rd or 4th.

by HornsUpInLA on Jan 14, 2012 3:44 PM CST up reply actions  

Not impressed with our lack of killer instinct.

Did not play with a lot of confidence. Lot of poor shot selection. I guess it’s youth but we’ve had youth before. Just have to keep moving forward.
