on a holidy, in the evening, on a gameday??

At work!  Wooo!

So comments are appreciated.  I have the DVR set to record the game, but I'll be following here and on the radio.

this 'Cuse/GTown game is exciting.  As I type, 58-55 Orange with 2:21 left.

hopefully the Hoyas can hit a game-winner so that we don't get delayed for our start

...right?

Turnover by OSU. 3 ball for Connor.

OSU's tallest starter.

Foul on DJ already as well.

but Syracuse can force a double OT

9-4 start. Mason, Atchley, AJ, and DJ have already scored.

pro Big 12. Enjoy.

Four shots for OSU.

OSU is really sloppy with the ball.

It's going to say "I (heart) Good Connor"

C'mon Gary gotta make atleast one
Damnit another Anderson three

Advantage OSU.

Chapman lost the ball and gave up a layup on the other end and Gary looks uncomfortable on offense. Not a good start for the freshmen.

Someone please remove the diaper from Gary Johnson. C'mon, son!

The walk-on!

DJ misses a FT

grab a fucking board

Nice finish.

Time to rebound. Its amazing how we can make teams look like rebounding giants.

can try to carry us

6 quick points form James.

How 'bout some defense and rebounding now?

OSU is missing their 3s

Nice, Wingman

but it went in.

doin alright cept for rebounding

bad choice of Lexi to try to draw that charge

Pick n roll, Atchley to the post for the score

DJ driving hard to the basket, great behind the back dribble.

I am not willing to accept anything but a W.

...seeing Sean Sutton, do you?

Gets me every time: dead man walking.

Really?

Instant offense?

How many offensive rebounds do they have??

despite the freshmen. not looking good.  we need production, not fouls and missed shots.

"The Reverend Oaf" of Texas

drives me crazy. What the hell was that?

GET A REBOUND

looks a step slow on the baseline.

cmon mason

Bottom lip Sean is not happy.

throwing shit on the court

State of Oklahoma

manly dunk

That is how you finish.

No way should we lose this

they back off, "i'll just take this"

nice pass by mason, and nice 3 by DJ.

James is a man.

but you gotta make it

we've picked it up a bit

You are our main interior presence right now.

NICE AJ! Great penetration and pass

layup and 1 for DJames

AJ on the curl and makes a PASS. WOW.

Texas starting to limit second looks and forcing tough shots with the zone. Looking better.

ever since OSU went up 20-14, we have played really well.  Rebounding needs improvement, but D is better and we're making good passes down low for close opportunities

cowboys thought it was 2 shots. dumbasses

good offensive rebound!

is so boring in their half court set

That half court set made me happy

DJ amazes. Now make a free throw, son.

we talk about in the timeout?

Let him run the length of the floor, then foul him as he shoots?

nice mooney

OSU started with good energy as they attacked the offensive glass and worked well to get good looks in their half court. Since the beginning, it has been all Texas. The Horns doing a much better job with their half court defense and on the defensive glass. Keep it up.

DJ has played really well, finding Connor in the post and AJ on the curls. Damion James was big on both ends.

complete!  too bad he couldn't hit that miracle shot for the TD

Digger Phelps acting utterly disgusted that he's having to argue with a woman about college hoops.

Forced the error with the pressure!

but i'll take it

on offense. Missed shot, blocked shot, offensive foul.

... Mason!

This crowd is killing me

Good idea, but isn't working so far.

as expected. every whistle they boo something. even when the whistle doesnt blow, they boo.  Terrible.

... Can we quit being terrible now, please?

Terrible start to the half on offense

Missed threes by Connor, DJ gets his shot blocked, missed three by AJ, turnover by DJ, turnover by James.

Ugly offensive basketball coming out of halftime.

... douchebag.  Do you have memory for sound?

We need to deal with this run and settle down a bit. Some silly passing to start the half.

as a mo fo

but they arent falling

What a disaster to start the half

on fire...................

earlier i said we were lucky their 3s weren't falling.  now they are.

I'm already angry that I missed the 1st half because of dinner with some floormates.

Then I turn on the TV and we're up by 12, and then a huge meltdown starts, and it's continuing as a type this.

But we're playing @ Oklahoma State. These games are never supposed to be easy.

DJ for three. Bingo!

Did we just get a Tom Brady reference?

what shit is that?

It's the annual trip to the Stillwater Asylum

to standing around on offense. Move the ball please. AJ on the baseline only works once in awhile.

We were trying to get it into Atch with little success, but maybe we can get the G-unit some good touches down low.  He needs a confidence builder lay-up or dunk.

What a total joke!

OSU is undefeated at home. There's a reason for that.

I know you guys said a W should be expected, but these games @ OSU are so spontaneous.

Much better this half than the first.

think we are getting manhandled this half, although as I type this they start to call the fouls.

D

This is the Big 12 I know and love. (Mostly.)

whatever. I'm kinda surprised he doesn't get called for it more, actually, when he makes his first quick step to drive

3-4 FG outside the arc.

1-6 FG inside the arc. Where's the Nash-esque mid-range game that he used so well in the St. Mary's game?

61 points isn't going to do it. Get some touches for Johnson and Connor on the blocks, hit James at the elbow and let DJ and AJ knock down some threes. Come on Horns.

Terrible shot, AJ

Now he's 0-5 from beyond the arc. Total failure of his offensive role. We need to stop running plays like that. He's consistently missed shots off the dribble.

no fouls when the shot clock is down!

moving screen by OSU

rightfully so

54-53, under 8 tv timeout.

Thank you Mason.

now Abrams can't even make a spot up open three. Now 0-6 from arc.

Thanks to Mason for picking up the trash.

miss again

sadly Fran is right: that is our offense. Our total offense.

holy __ that was bad

I LOL'ed at Connor's wild miss off the edge of the backboard.

Great defensive possession by Texas.

good recovery after picks

Cowboys are very solid as a team from the line. Just missed though.

love it

Probably the easiest shot DJ has had this game. Amazing what ball movement can do.

Jesus OSU fans, stop having orgasms after every non-call.

i can breathe again.  OSU's offense has gone cold, but we havent done much with it.  At least we have the lead

Up three points with just under four minutes left. That is about all we could have expected. Winning time now.

Time to move the ball on offense and knock down FTs. Time to contest shots and block out.

Did anyone hear that JamesOn Curry (former OSU player) was arrested for public urination? I heard this like a week ago.

great D

and great defense. Thanks Barnes for going zone.

Wish we could do it on the other end.

If they can't stop it... go for it. DJ to the rack over and over.

DJ getting open, then driving effectively.  Where has this been?  More often I say!

seeing that "DJ is Texas' offense", why aren't they doubling him? Seriously. That's what I'd do. AJ is bricking everything. Doesn't matter if he's open.

Looks like DJ is more critical to this team than KD was last year.  At least KD had DJ.

blown 2nd chance opp

Abrams is not in a mini-slump. He's in a MEGA-slump

Now 0-7 from three.

Please get a basket.

they didnt call a tick tack foul there. Great D.

ever since OSU hit the 50 mark, our D has stepped up HUGE forcing turnovers and bad shots.

He is killing me, going 0-7 from 3. Generally I say let him keep shooting, but not anymore.  I know there keying on Damion, but we should get him the ball.

and unlike the UCLA game, James wasn't there to flush it in.

to the basket but needed to try to draw contact and not fade away.

Come on D.

lets take care of business

that could've easily been a 5 sec violation.

MAKE YOUR FTS PLEASE

Big confidence boost. Hasn't shot FTs well lately.

Not yet, but up three, considering fouling on purpose under 3 seconds.

That was a clean look.

lets go DJ. take us home.

they got Anderson for three and an off rebound. How do we survive that poss?

We gave up a WIDE OPEN three. All luck that he missed it.

And then James fumbles the rebound but DJ corrals it.

ONE MORE FT!

I love making clutch FTs.

Hey, this game wasn't so chaotic after all.

2nd consecutive 2pt victory. I'll take it!

Important win. Style points don't matter at this point. Need W's, and we got two in a row after the Missouri loss.

Guy........

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Wasn't the prettiest but it doesn't matter.

Thanks you DJ.

we lose by a quite a bit without his 2nd half effort

15-20 (75%) from the free throw line. That's more like it. No way DJ should be a 77% FT shooter.
