KenPom Projection: Texas 75-53 (65 Pace)
Opponent Blog: Double T Nation
The Texas Longhorns (13-9. 3-6) look to get back on track on Saturday evening as they host the Texas Tech Red Raiders (7-14, 0-9) in Billy Gillispie's first return to the Erwin Center since 2007, when he was head coach at Texas A&M. For those of you able to catch the game on television (this will be the last LHN broadcast of the season), this is your open game thread. And yes, the old game thread template -- which wasn't exactly a lucky charm -- has been retired, and also yes, this is the template our Kansas bloggers use at Rock Chalk Talk.
Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Now let's hook 'em.

Free "Texas Fight" shirts in all the seats tonight!
So, that should be a pretty good incentive to go! Hook ’Em

mcclellan is starting
Chapp, wangmene, kabongo and jcovan as well
Lewis played well monday so I’m surprised he was becneched for mcclellan, not like it really matters since they split time regardless

not benched.
he attended his uncle’s funeral today and just got back into town for the game.
now (periodically) tweeting @BZatBON
Didn't know about the funeral
But I’ll take it. We’re not finishing out how we need to unless McClellan steps up his contributions.
76-37-5. Now GTFO.
Fantastic start for Sheldon
Rick Barnes apparently agrees with me that we’re not getting to our goals unless McClellan is a stronger contributor for us. Love giving Sheldon the start, and doubly love seeing McClellan attack on the bounce. Great coaching job, and we need more-more-more of this all the way through the rest of this year.
76-37-5. Now GTFO.
Them talking about the missed calls at the end of games
That doesn’t seem all that uncommon for us. At the end of games is seems either they don’t call it when it’s obvious someone is intentionally fouling to stop the clock with seconds left, or they don’t call when one of our players is shooting and is fouled.
TEXAS FIGHT
Chapman plays a lot better when he's not getting beaten up
That was a pretty baseline shot.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
Why
Can’t we hits fts against good teams?

nothing personal...
but is it bad that UT basketball has never really been a big thing for me? most of the players are OOS and i just am not a basketball guy to begin with…that said, every year i fill out a bracket and Texas is ALWAYS winning it all…
Texas baseball on the other hand, lets talk…
not really
I have no problem with that, basketball isn’t for everyone. It is only a problem when people only come to games to see the ’Horns play only good teams, then act like they are fans of the team.
I’d hold off on having texas making the 2nd weekend much less, winning it all though

I don't know.
Maybe the Pac12 being terrible will help?

There’s a lot of ways they can still make the tourney
Win 2 of 3 vs Baylor,Kstate, KU and win the other games
Beat 1 of the 3, win the other games and beat Mizzou,Baylor or KU in the tournament
Lose all 3 but win the other 6. Then beat mizzou,baylor or KU ( win 2 against the 3) in the tournament
Beat Baylor or Kansas or mizzou. And beat ISU to take their bubble spot and the season series
Win the Big XII tournament.
A lot can happen in 8.5 games. It starts with taking care of business in the 2nd half vs tech, beating the ags in gaggyland and end the kstate curse

I think they can go 7-2 looking at the schedule

Man, the LHN looks great.
I wonder if they’ll let us just subscribe online since carriers are slow to adopt.
That messes with their goals
of getting money even from people who aren’t going to watch the network but will have it in their channels.
TEXAS FIGHT
46-27
Guys, I think we got this one. See ya next time.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
Looks like Tech killed their own run
went on a 10-0 run, called time out and immediately gives up a couple baskets to the Horns.
TEXAS FIGHT
Chapman with 20!
Great job by him tonight. Cleaned up baskets throughout and provided some great frickin’ defense.
Bring out the closers.
TEXAS FIGHT
One nice thing about the LHN (which I don't get) is that they show the singing of the eyes of Texas
Chapman was the only player singing. But he had a lot to sing about tonight!!
3rd Degree Longhorn
I think my post about LHN was deleted
And probably rightfully so. Apologies if it was a bit too far (or vulgar).
Looking at the stat line, great win tonight. Hope we get on a roll.

That is one impressive line for Chapman - 20 points on 6/10 shooting, 8-8 FTs, 9 rebs, 5 blocks

Agree.
I just got finished writing up the summary of this game for my weekly stats post, and Chapman is all over it.
