J'Covan is starting

Hopefully he is around 100%.

Same line-up as the past rice and iowa state game.

Hopefully kabongo, finally starts to live to his ranking. If not he needs to be benched in favor of julien lewis

We could also use a chapman double-double

Texas 5-18 shooting, 0-5 3pt
OSU 4-11 shooting, 1-3 3pt

That may be because a lot of the games have been on the LHN, which very few have at this point.

Don’t hate me…I have it. :-) Switched from AT&T over to Grande back in October.

itd be nice if the guys started driving to the hoop more

some easy layups would do wonders for shooting confidence. its hard to keep watching them clang long jumpers.

Thank God for JCB.

J'Covan is clearly

Not 100%.

Awful first half. Okie State is probably the worst team in the conference. 7-33 from the field, 0-9 from 3.

by Mclovin1035 on Jan 7, 2012 6:59 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Tech is the wort team in the conference

A&M is also probably worse than OSU. OSU at least defends well.

The Horns have shot the ball well this year. I feel pretty good things will straighten out in the second half.

gotta try something else

at least if we continuously try to drive it inside, we can foul some of those guys out

and we look like we don’t even care

by jdwall12 on Jan 7, 2012 7:35 PM CST reply actions  

Don't equate missing shots to not trying hard

from what I’ve seen so far our effort has been fantastic

by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2012 7:38 PM CST up reply actions  

you're right

I always need to watch the games a 2nd time to get a good read on how we actually played. The 1st time I just want everything to go right

by jdwall12 on Jan 8, 2012 5:04 PM CST up reply actions  

UT already in the bonus with 8:39 left

be aggressive, make our freebies, hope that JCB three will ignite our shooters, and we will escape with a W

by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2012 7:40 PM CST reply actions  

Listening on the radio

Craig Way just went crazy when JCB hit that shot.

OSU 5-11 from three, UT 1-14 from three

and that’s why we’re not up by double digits

by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2012 7:42 PM CST reply actions  

OSU finally misses a three

and they’ve been bad shots but have been going in

by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2012 7:44 PM CST reply actions  

I criticized Myck Kabongo for always

going towards the rim and trying to get fouled earlier in the season, but now I’m cool with it. It’s better than nothing. It’s better than just standing behind the 3-point line and just passing it back and forth.

off the drive and dish from Kabongo (can never tell with this stream though)

by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2012 7:48 PM CST reply actions  

Kabongo needs to develop a mid-range jumper.

I know. Hopefully it's a different story with Kabongo.

He’s got to be teachable.

meh

I have been studying play by play data lately, and pretty much no one in the college game is hitting better than 40% from mid range. It isn’t a very good shot. Kabongo needs to get better on free throws.

it is an NBA shot

Mid range shots are more important with a 24 second shot clock.

Bench points, 28-3 favoring UT

if this bench stays with us we’ll be a really really good team in the next few years

Fuck, Lewis travels due to a halfcourt trap

OSU has four players with 4 fouls! Not sure if I’ve ever seen this before.

We need to go cheer on our team in person.

We had a pretty good turnout tonight, though.

I guess because it’s Saturday.

Great win. I'm surprised we got it, actually.

But Okie State isn’t a deep team and they missed A LOT of shots.

Not sure what Julien Lewis is doing leading the team in shots

let’s hope that never happens again. 4-15 from the field. Sheldon with an ugly 2-11 as well.

J’Bongo with only 13 shots combined but 14 FT attempts

by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2012 8:10 PM CST reply actions  

yeah lewis shoots entirely too much

him, mcclellan and kabongo struggle with when to shoot

Chapman back to his old ways

Taking ill-advised jumpers and letting every rebound hit off his hands.
