A Look at Texas High School Basketball Recruiting
There's a lot of concern and consternation about Texas basketball these days, partly due to recruiting unrest. The argument comes down to: Rick Barnes should stop recruiting 5* mercenaries that just leave after one year! I don't get any emotional attachment to them, and they're not...
NBA Draft Tonight
I can't let this glorious event pass by without giving it some love, especially since it is now (and will continue to be) Longhorn hoops heavy. While most of you will still be in line waiting to buy the new Iphone, the future of NBA franchises will be at stake (ok maybe one or two franchise with...
Varez Ward Shawn Williams Get Redshirts; Avery and DJ Update
According to ESPN, the NCAA has granted Ward and Williams medical red shirts for the 2009-2010 season. The NCAA hasn't ruled on whether UT fans do or not. This excites me for some reason even though it was expected. These guys should be solid program guys for the next few years. Ward will be a...
Texas Basketball Lectured By Soccer Mom On Overreward
The Texas basketball team had their annual awards banquet , and managed to eclipse even the football team's harvest of obscure awards. Everyone got a trophy! YEAAAA!!!!! Some of my favorite awards: Mike Wacker Comeback Award sponsored by United Healthcare: Alexis Wangmene The Mike Wacker award...
Texas Basketball is Dangerous
Or that's what they're telling Andy Katz anyway. Well that's good to know. I'll sleep better at night knowing that for some poor 7 or 8 seed armageddon is imminent when the mighty Longhorns come to town. Then after Texas dispatches of that unworthy mid-seeded patsy there's a one seed...

Texas Hoops vs. Oklahoma State: Post-Mortem
A funny thing happened on the way to burying the 2010 Texas Longhorns. Defense. For all the handwringing and consternation bandied about on this and other sites about the Longhorn's anemic offense, defense carried the day...err...night. The ability to defend a four guard, spread the floor offense...
Texas Hoops vs. Oklahoma State Preview II
Here's your primer on Oklahoma State from earlier in the year. The Cowboy personnel groups haven't changed a whole lot but ours have and that may be a problem. There is no Doge to tag James Anderson, but the talented wing isn't the shooter on the road that he is at home so we've go that going for...
What are they asked to do?
Over at MarchtoMarch "Kevin Berger", or Trips Right as he might more accurately be known, gave us the best of the weekend from the national scene in the form of a starting 5 and 6th man. Not a coherent starting 5 (forwards, center, etc) but a nice recap of the more important performances of the...
Texas Basketball vs. Mizzou: Post-Mortem
Another conference game against a top 40 opponent, another disappointing outcome. If the way this team is playing surprises you at this point after a 17-0 start, you need to start looking at it this way. The 17-0 team was a get up in your jersey, play free and loose, wear you down, onions dangling...
