Baylor game

You can't try to put in a layup with space from the glass against this team. Dunk or take the open shot.
 
why do we think we can pass to the bigs when they're guarded by 3 players?

Hook'em!!!

Barnes is tieless again. I've noticed this for at least the last 5 or 6 games. Maybe more. In the past he is always with tie. What is the deal?
 
Hamilton and Johnson get into the game pretty quickly.

Offense moving pretty well. Defense has left three point shooters open too frequently. Need to seal off the defensive glass.
 
Fade back to the Texas game, where Hamilton makes a nice lob to a Baylor player, followed closely by Pittman's fatness.
 
Haha.

Texas back up though, thanks to Johnson working near the basket.

Baylor with a short lineup before the break.
 
Texas in a zone, ball goes into to cutter behind Pittman who wasn't paying attention. Foul and out of game for a while. Chapman in.
 
Couple of turnovers. First was due to Johnson going up with a taller defender closing, then losing the passing angle he had. Second was a bounce pass to Johnson who couldn't handle it. He might need a breather. He's done a lot so far this half.
 
Texas hasn't given up any offensive rebounds since I commented on the need to cut them off. However, NINE turnovers so far.
 
Hamilton hits a three to tie it, then allows Baylor players to go right around him on consecutive possessions to score or set up a score.
 
Our defense looks pretty weak today. We sure are having problems keeping players in front of us and appear to leave our feet for no reason.
 
Second time a Texas guard has tried to make a layup with some space to the rim and second time it's been swatted away. If you can't dunk or use your body to shield Baylor away, that won't work. They're too long.
 
Turnovers, crappy shots, and a missed foul to close the half down 8. Texas had played pretty well offensively (except for the turnovers) until the last couple of minutes. Defense has left way too many openings underneath.

Thirteen turnovers at the half?
 
Frustrating ending to the first half. How do the officials go for the flop against Chapman then they completely blow the foul when Brown is shooting the 3.

I can't stand Baylor fans. They boo at everything and act like they are god's gift to basketball.

I hope the Horns go on a roll and play the 2nd half like they did the last 10 mins against OU Monday night.
 
We can't beat teams with good guards because of turnovers. 13 may be ok for a game, but a half? My kingdom for a point guard. We better find one next year or we'll see a repeat of this year minus the quick start.

I missed the first half but TOs is the first column I looked at in the box score when I saw we were down 8.
 
We also miss a big that can step out and make a jumper. It would help a lot to unclog the middle if we had a power forward or center that could make a 15-17 footer. Johnson is ok at that mid-range shot, but he's really a small forward playing bigger.

Baylor is just packing the middle and closing out on the 3s. Pretty simple defense, but we have nothing to combat it. Either a big that can pull them out, or a point guard that can beat their man off the dribble. We don't have either.
 
Brown standing flat footed and le's a guy come get an offensive rebound, then the whole team lets two guys get wide open under the basket. Awful.
