Tonights games



  • 67%

    He is a pure defensive force. His numbers on that end are unreal.



  • Texas losing Jones to the injury, then with cancer has really changed the ceiling on this team.

    From a basketball standpoint, they lost their best perimeter talent. He was a legitimate scorer and a matchup problem on most nights. He was also a capable defender that fit perfectly in Smart’s ball pressure style.

    From a human standpoint, just keeping the team focused and together when one of their teammates is having to deal with that sort of hardship is quite a task. Keeping them engaged in basketball is a big job when they are also mindful of their teammate and friend.

    Not saying Texas shouldn’t be better. They probably should be. But their losses are as follows: Duke, Gonzaga, Michigan, Kansas, Baylor, Oklahoma State, West Virginia. They would like to have that win over Oklahoma State (lost by 1 at Gallagher-Iba), and the loss to Baylor stinks, but the other five games, you can’t find me a dozen teams in the country that go better than 1-4 against that group. There are teams that would have won at home against Michigan, but Kansas comes in and wins. Not many teams go to Morgantown and emerge with a W (we know this well over the last few years). Duke and Gonzaga on a neutral floor. I just don’t see too many teams that could scratch out two wins against that group. So maybe Texas should be one or two wins better. That’s about it. But without Jones, this isn’t a top 20 team talentwise, anyway. Jones didn’t play against Michigan, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Baylor or West Virginia.

    Texas is a fringe tourney team, which, given their talent (minus Jones) is about what they should be.



  • Man is anyone watching this Iowa St - - WV game? - -holy crap this place is like a morgue. - -total silence , when they jumped on WV early , use to be that place would be rockin. - -Now it’s more like a tennis match - -what the hell has happened to some of these places? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • WELL, I’m half way there for not being not so crazy anyways – Iowa State up by 10 at the half 53-43 - -gonna make another crazy statement maybe , is it just me or does Javon Carter seem to over dribble sometimes? - - What I mean is dribbling without a purpose? - -shot clock runs down before they get into any kind of offense with Javon - -a lot of times he just stands at the top of the key and then gets himself in a bad situation - just like right at the end of the half just now. - -Ends up throwing some over the head backwards jock shot - -not very smart. - -Well half way there anyways – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    Shaka should be fired for his record with Bamba.

    Truth. Could you imagine if we had Bamba?

    I think about it all the time.



  • WVU is dooooone.



  • @Jayballer54 You predicted that…you must be psycho…I mean…psychic. 🙂



  • What a turnaround from Saturday for ISU, WVU needs to be pissed next week so they can beat OU



  • I’ll ask again… Has Huggins lost his team?



  • Huggins threw his players under the bus after the last two losses and after UK I took his criticism to be to JCarter when he said “we have players that are more into themselves than as a team” or something to that effect. Carter couldn’t handle the spotlight.



  • Now we need tx to beat tx tech.



  • Carter for WVA has been pretty worthless this season when I’ve seen him. Wouldn’t doubt if he just couldn’t handle the pressure from his own coach. Weird.

    Maybe too smart a player for that kind of system



  • @DanR People forget that the press can wear them down as well. I think they’ll work it out before play us again.



  • @DanR did you know it’s the 120 yr anniversary of ku B.B.celebration this sat? Or is it 125? Should be some special things going on. Cool free banner.



  • @Crimsonorblue22 Pick one up for me! 🙂



  • ISU just gave us some breathing room at the top.



  • @dylans oh smart one



  • @Crimsonorblue22 120 years! Plus my wife’s birthday (and she actually let me go to the game without her)

    Hey told ya bud I had a feeling about possible upset. - -they got spanked , their really struggling - So now it’s just Oklahoma and Texas Tech 1 game behind us - -that was a big loss for WV and a gain for us. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    lol, ya well some say psycho lol, - - ya well everyone gets lucky every now and then but I don’t know just kind of had a feeling today , that this just might be the day that a little Hilton magic re appear. Big good results for us - -now it’s Oklahoma and Texas Tech one game behind us.

    Thing is after Saturday unless we just have a bone head day - -one of the two either K-State or WV will be 3 games behind us - logic tells me this is where K-State fades into the sunset, - they could very well run into a buzz saw in Morgantown Saturday.

    I’m not TOTALLY out of the other possible upset tonight - -Texas down 7 at the half – could be worse. Don’t think it will happen Texas has no one stopping Evans - but we could always hope. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    WE sure need to , not going to be easy. - -They are so deep, I think that played into it a lot when they beat us in the Phog - -well that and they defended the 3 really well. - -Hopefully we can change that around in round 2. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Texas now ahead by 4 with just over 2 minutes to go.



  • ISU and WVU both missing key players but WVU spiraling down.



  • Can Shaka hang on?



  • @truehawk93

    Let’s hope so. 😄



  • @truehawk93 Not shooting FT’s like that. Missed 4 in last 2 minutes. 3 by the hot shot freshman. Another win thrown away because of missed free ones. UT should have 68 points.



  • Tech. missed the second FT with 3 seconds left. Game goes to OT.



  • You guys , I had these games nailed - - – -Texas had this game , a little over a minute to go - up by four chance to go up by 7 Coleman makes the most boneheaded plays misses three free throws - -and then fouls on a three point shot - just plain stupid. - -then still up by 4 and you wanna throw almost a half court pass over screw balls head turn it over holy shit man - -can you say fold - they had this game. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @dylans I’m not going, but I’ll see



  • Man Texas completely blew it.



  • dang. was hoping Texas would help us out.



  • Roach



  • TT has to visit Squeaky in the Fake Doom and Scotty in Wacko. They also get Huggy in Motown.

    Who says TT drops all 3?

    CLASSIC CHOKE - -THEY had this game. - -Coleman cost them big at the end of regulation. - -74 % ft shooter misses - -ALL THREE ft’s, then comes down and faster then you can say BOO fouls Evans when everyone in the fricken arena knows he is going to take the shot play smart - -no couldn’t do that. - -Bamba wasn’t to happy with that you could see that. - -they just flat as gave this game away. - -CHOKE - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    Oh well maybe WV can make them pay for getting a gift tonight - -they better be buying every Texas player a steak dinner for Texas just choking that game away. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @Jayballer54 No…the biggest CHOKE was Scotty and the boyz against OU last night.



  • @Jayballer54

    Coleman’s missed FT and foul happened with over 2 minutes left and even after that, Texas went up by 5. Evans is the one that did them in by hitting 18-20 from the FT line including several at the end.

    Whenever they were which was multiple free throws - -3 to be exact - -would of put them up by 7 , and another thing I noticed he was laughing about it as he was missing the free throws. - - -Can you say game concentration? - This was funny how? - Then he help donate to Evans free throw total by promptly fouling a 3 point shooter. - -What do you hear ALL the time? - -you never foul a 3 pt jump shooter, Coleman contributed mighty to the Lose with these plays. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @Jayballer54 Well, good calls, my man. Even though Texas didn’t hold on. Can you make a prediction about me and Jennifer Anniston? 🙂



  • @Hawk8086 pretty sure that’s his wife



  • @Jayballer54 I have thought the same thing about Carter. He repeatedly did that in the little bit of the Kentucky game I saw.

    He did the same thing against Iowa State on multiple occasions. - -Bottom line was he wasn’t getting anything done - -just dribbling around the top of the key, and they weren’t anywhere close to getting into their offense.

    Then by the time he did decide to get into any kind of offense the clock was down to 6-7 seconds and a lot of forced play -terrible shots at that point. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Coleman had some freshman mistakes last night. That was a fun game to watch until Evans drilled that shot at the buzzer. Evans has had a crazy 3 game stretch, definitely playing himself into First Team All-Big 12
