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...
Barnes worst team
Basketball: Texas lost to Wake Forest in the first round last night. Trips Right somehow found the inner strength to do a final post-mortem where he also prescribes a month of defensive drills for baby 2010-11 Texas basketball in order to foster its development into a team that can at least dribble...
Texas Would be a Tough Matchup for Syracuse
Here's an article discussing Syracuse's weaknesses and which teams have the necessary components needed to knock off the top ranked team in the country. Interestingly enough, if you're talking big upsets in the tournament a team like Texas has a lot of what it takes to beat the Orangemen. Baylor...
Texas Bracketology and Gottlieb on Texas
First Gottlieb. If you listen to one basketball pundit on ESPN, listen to this guy. He gets it. Point guards are among the smartest human beings walking the planet. The pecking order goes something like this: nuclear physicists, doctors, point guards, Supreme Court Justices, Barking Carnival...
All about the big men
Basketball: I was relieved to see Texas at least protect home court on Wednesday night while continuing to show developing play since the Kansas debacle. Again, until we see this teem demonstrate the same ball-movement and defense on the road the improvement is inconclusive. I had a feeling of...
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 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...
Freshman on the road
Basketball: 1 step forward, 2 steps backward. Dexter Pittman, Dogus Balbay and Avery Bradley each had 4 turnovers while the team had 18 overall that led to 25 Missouri points. Beyond that, the Tigers had a layup-line from open drives and offensive rebounds that led to 58% shooting in the 2nd half...
Dexter Pittman Guilty of Foul Play
Watching Dexter Pittman’s draft status plummet is like watching my portfolio the last two years, depressing. Here is a guy with all the physical tools to make it rich and he can’t control himself for 40 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. The first problem here is that someone told Dex he is a shot...
Texas Hoops vs. Kansas: Post-Mortem
I have a man crush on Al McGuire, the basketball coach that led Marquette to its only national championship. The man had an uncanny way of relating to players when he was coaching and to the audience when he was a color commentator for CBS. He'd throw out stuff like: “I think everyone...
