Sit Lucas forever.

Does Barnes unteach our players how to play basketball?

 

[roquentin]

you got it adutleander. james is the hottest from the otuside so you shoudl ride him until kansas steps out. avery bradley was hte hottest against ou but barnes and crew abandoned him and you know what happened. hamilton was the hottest against ok st and you saw what ahppened. we have too many good outside shooters. surely, we can identify one hot shooter such as a james, hamilton, bradley, brown, or lucas.

 

[Moskman]

We are a 2nd half team

Come on Horns

is barnes insane? he comes out and goes inside immediately on evervy possesion?!

 

[Alex_de_Large]

We wind up unranked with several ***-kicking coming at a&m, baylor, and mizzu.

 

[wadster]

Doubtful we will get to 50 tonight. It's embarrassing. Balbay gives us no chance to win as the other team can just pack the middle, and Lucas couldn't start for a good HS. Brown doesn't have the quickness necessary to penetrate, so we are just too easy to guard. I really think it's personnel. They just aren't very good.

 

[roquentin]

barnes is mental. hes still goin inside!

 

[spit and tears]

This is painful and I am not drinking enough. We cannot do one thing right. That is all.

 

[roquentin]

brown does penetrate well but hes constantly going agasint 2 or 3 guys when he hits the paint. more jumpers please.

 

[OrangeHair]

just comical.

 

[IPLonghorns]

Pittman is just horrible on the offensive end. He is either shooting air balls on his hook shots or getting blocked by the rim on his dunks.

 

[OrangeHair]

just don't have any finishers (layup, dunking, or otherwise).

 

[roquentin]

let me see what you would dou wiht the whole kansas team all over your arms. more jumpers please.

not enough focusness. i never see a billinsinton pregame basketball post that urges everyone to focus.

 

[where_are_my_8s]

Balbay makes it 4 on 5 when Texas has the ball.

 

[adUTleander]

^^^so true. Sucks when your best ball handler and potentially best defender is a complete non factor on offense.

 

[Alex_de_Large]

We can't even get within 10 at home.

 

[Moskman]

They look light years away from us - Kansas is very well coached. I'm not being critical but you have to be impressed with KU's effort tonight.

 

[earl77]

Texas Basketball 2009-2010 is the most embarassing men's sport since football in 1997. We get worse every game, never better.

 

[UT1986]

I'm sorry, I can't watch anymore of this pathetic offense tonight. I've nearly thrown 2 beer bottles at the tv tonight. I just watched my 7th grade daughter's junior high team create more offense earlier tonight. This is tough to take after such an amazing start to this season and a No. 1 ranking.

I know Kansas has a great team, but the Horns are not hustling for rebounds, standing around watching the ball bounce around while Kansas crashes the boards, taking poor shots, dribbling into traffic in the lane with no good kick out passes, and making ill-advised turnovers. For cryin out loud Colorado took this team to overtime. I realize this is 1 game, but this team is on the skids bigtime. Something needs to give. The comments from the team after the BlowU loss says it all. They are completely at a loss for what is wrong.

 

[roquentin]

more jumpers please.

 

[Third Coast]

About what I expected. Unless a player comes to Texas with an understanding of the fundamentals of the game, he won't get it here.

The dance better get here soon, or this team is going to miss it. I wonder if a team has ever been ranked #1 well into a season and failed to make the NCAA tournament?

I have made references at times about Abe's last team after Wacker went down, but I was around back then and the circumstances are different, but this is looking awfully familiar.

 

[TigerPride]

It appears the frustration is building on the team as well.

 

[Moskman]

And the ESPY goes to Morningstar from Kansas

Has anyone else noticed how Kansas attacks the basket. They score so many points in the paint.

We are 77% from the FT line

 

[IPLonghorns]

It helps when you can finish once you get inside.
