The J'Covan Dialogues: One Man's Struggle To Explain J'Covan Brown's Game
J'Covan Brown is one of my favorite Longhorn players of all time. I don't know anything about him. Is he quick or athletic? No. Not really. I honestly didn't think he could dunk until he it did this year on a breakaway. So he's not athletic... Well, not in a run-jump sense. He's athletic in...
Missouri 67, Texas 66: Good, Bad & Ugly
That was painful. Like, Kendrick Perkins painful. Writing this, I sympathize with Scipio Tex and the past two football seasons. It's hard to write the same refrain over and over again with fading hope that things will change. If you watched the game, you know what happened. And if you didn't watch...
Baylor 76, Texas 71: Good, Bad & Ugly
This Texas team must no doubt feel like they are living in their own personal Groundhog Day. It was another game that Texas should have lost, but could have won. Baylor carried a 9 point lead into halftime, and it was a lead that fluctuated between 5 to 10 points for most of the first 10 minutes...
Texas Longhorns vs Baylor Bears Live Game Thread
If we can stop Scott Drew from buying new 5-star players at halftime we have a chance. Game tips at noon on CBS. Verne and Clark with the call.
Texas Basketball: 3 Down (and Out), 3 To Go
Texas is currently halfway through its brutal 6 game stretch. In my "Murderer's Row" preview, I posited that 3-3 was an attainable goal. Well, so much for that optimism. Three games in, and the young Horns have notched three losses. Well, a 3-3 split is still in arm's reach. It's just a really,...
Kansas 69, Texas 66: Good, Bad & Ugly
Coffee is for closers and Kansas regular season basketball. There's a reason why the Fightin' Bill Selfs (Selves?) have won 7 straight regular season Big 12 championships, and it's not because they're gunning for a set of steak knives. Texas came ohsoclose to a victory. At various points in the...
Texas Basketball Loses Heartbreaker at Kansas State, 84-80
I won't go full monty with this game as it was a tough loss to swallow. After looking like they'd get run out of the gym early (K-State opened up a 15 point first half lead), the young Horns settled down in a tough road environment. They went into the break down 43-42 and kept the margin within...
Texas vs. Missouri: Good, Bad Ugly
Quoting Denny Green, the Texas Longhorns basketball team "are who we thought they were." J'Covan is a hoss, inexperience is a huge deal on the road, and size matters. Missouri shot lights out in the first half and Texas went into the locker room down 15, but a huge second half by Brown kept the...
North Carolina 82, Texas 63: Good, Bad & Ugly
There wasn't much to cheer about in Texas' loss to North Carolina. The Longhorns quickly found themselves down 12-6 at the U-16 TV timeout, and never really recovered from there. It became evident pretty quickly that point guard Myck Kabongo was hampered by injury, ineffectiveness, or both. Without...
Basketball Primer: Texas Longhorns at North Carolina Tar Heels
The Texas Longhorns play the North Carolina Tar Heels tomorrow in what will arguably be Texas' hardest game of the year. It's a true road game. Right before Christmas. Against the second-most talented team in the country. With more experience. More size. More depth. And more tar. The venerable Ken...
