Texas 69, Oklahoma 58: Good, Bad & Ugly
It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win. Winning on the road in power conference play is hardly ever a cakewalk, but the Longhorns still managed a double-digit victory after going into halftime down five. That's a significant positive to me. Neither team shot particularly well. Texas hit just 38.5% of...
Texas 75, Kansas St 64: Good, Bad & Ugly
It was the best of halves, it was the worst of halves, it was the age of offensive efficiency, it was the age of offensive futility, it was the spring of hoping for a top 5 Big 12 seed, it was the winter of despairing about an NIT bid -- in short, the second period was so far unlike the first...

BIG 12 OUTLOOK: 02.12.12
Once again, this is quite late due to my schedule being knocked out of whack. Still, I feel compelled to post it in the interest of transparency, rather than skipping it entirely. All calculations were made prior to Saturday's games. <!-- BEGIN WIDGET --> Big 12 Conference Standings (updated...

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...

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.
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...
