i'm totally pissed right now
i know i'm in the middle of big east country, but i even went to a bar to watch the Texas game, and they claim that CBS isn't showing the game on any of their satellite stations.  what the hell possessed CBS to do that?  ESPN at least has game plan...

Durant
is 5-6 (FG) & 2-2 (3-pt) shooting.

Why aren't we getting it to the hot hand?

Lead and subs
We are building a lead and seem to be using subs a little more than normal.  Hopefully the bench can play solid enough d and get rebounds.

7-9 3's . If KU comes out to try to stop the shots. DJ will shred them.
No rebounds, no turn overs, no easy points for KU.

Is it wrong that I am mad AJ missed the last two 3s?

I think that was Simmons
booing coach on the way off the court. If KD had coached them they could have had 60.

Simmons
You'll notice in Simmons rant he didn't say anything about Barnes beyond "KD should be scoring every point."  No actual substance.

by DisplacedTexan on Mar 3, 2007 11:56 AM CST up reply actions  

25 in a half, has to be a Big 12 record.
Texas also smashed their record for threes in a season, came in needing 4 and they have almost tripled that.

you should have seen the UConn commercial
it was some dopey looking guy playing the guitar and then the screen alternating between him and other pictures of the campus with text like "the #1 public university in the northeast."  then at the end, the guitar player stops playing, and says "nice pick!" after bllowing on his guitar pick.  retarded.

also, the thing i like about texas' ads is that the general theme is not like every other schools', which is: if you like our sports teams, you'll love asian kids in science labs!

"We're Texas" really seems to be a different angle than any other U.

And the guitar pick thing does sound very retarded.

I really enjoy reading your posts BZ.  We can only hope you aren't dumber from watching that ad.

I'm not feeling this second half
This could end up being the biggest 2nd half collapse of the season - like Tenn x100 or something.  We can't keep up this pace and we aren't playing great D against KU which has given us a lot of help.

KU can score like crazy
We will need to play smart as hell in the second half to pull this off.  Unlike A&M where when we were down in the 2nd we atleast had the crowd in our corner, if we get down in the 2nd half here it could get ugly.

by txengineer on Mar 3, 2007 12:07 PM CST reply actions  

KU will bring it
but I think we are playing golden basketball.  We are white hot right now and I don't see us letting this one melt away....(knocks on wood).

We're hot but it can't sustain
We may still be good on offense in the second half but not at this pace.  KU will bring the pain in the 2nd half, need to board and play D.  Ref's are not going to help us out in this one.

Great hustle play by Mason
Not looking like we can keep pace without KD, though.

If we're gonna win, it's gonna have to come from our best defense of the year.

These two guys were WAY too cold in the second half.  Every three they shot looked good until it clanked off the rim.  If those guys could have each just made one more shot...

honestly...
I truly think this is the worst rebounding Texas team I've ever seen. a&m outworked us on the glass as well. To me, this was the difference in the game. Along with living and dying with the 3. (ala Tom Coverdale and Indiana)

espn box score line graph thingy
do they keep those around?  Or is there another place that charts score-by-score.

3-point shooting
with about 30 seconds left in the first half, texas was 11 of 13 on 3-pointers.  after that, we went 3 of 17, with 2 of those 3 coming in the final 20 seconds.

also,
I tried to really be fair, since we are inexperienced... but fundamentally, our players are offensive minded and on the defensive end, they just are not alert. I truly in dont believe kansas is even 4 points better than us. Please in this offseason, get a true big man who likes to work the glass. Atchley is a freakin joke...

I'm happy with a 42% 3 point shooter taking an open shot to tie the game, even if he was cold today.

let's not get too discouraged
kansas is a solid basketball team, and we hung in there at a time when our team didn't have too much rest and kansas was 100%.  the field is an extremely difficult place to play on the road and we could have pulled it out.

just hope KD stays another year
If he leaves after this year it will be alot like when TJ left - one year short of putting together a national title team.
