We're several hours from tipoff. How do y'all see this one shaking out?

Personally, I'm nervous. Mizzou loves the full-court press and some of our 'Horns can get a little careless with the ball. Still, I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the home team and predict an 82-71 final score in favor of Texas, which manages to pull away late.
 
This is going to be a real test. Mizzou is as good as any other team in the Big 12. My concern in this game is their constant pressure. Balbay can handle it but then he is a liability on the offensive end of the court. If Joseph and Brown don't start turning it over, we'll win. It's going to be pretty high scoring I think. Give Texas a 73-70 win.
 
Our team can beat any team in the country right now. Why be nervous too, this is college basketball, not college football. Go out, have a good time, watch a great game, and enjoy it. Texas this tonight and they are going to be a top 5 team on Monday.
 
We're gonna spank the **** out of them

I like the Horns in a close one but this will be a tough game. Sadly with the 9 p.m. start here on ESPNU which we dont get down here I will only be able to follow on line as I am on baby duty tonight.

salonghorn makes a good point, F-Dub: I'm sure the little lady has been clamoring for the Longhorns since Wednesday.

You thought she was hungry, or needed a new diapy, or maybe just wanted to be held, but the truth is, she's anxious to see Barnes & Co. back in action.
 
Baby will be asleep by 9 but its my night for feedings so no sportsbar. She actually likes watching sports because of all the people on the screen. Last November at just over two weeks old she was up for most of the aggy game and literally right when the last int was thrown she took a huge dump right as it was thrown as if to give her rating of the Horns performance that night.

Yeah...no ESPNU here. I think I could get it it online if I had my internet account information but my landlord has that info. Just a good centrally located bar that would have it on would do.
 
Off to a great start shooting and on the boards, but they need to stop forcing passes that have no chance. Play smart guys!

That play where Jordan Hamilton curls off a screen to the top of the key or the top of the arc and then catches and shoots is effin' MONEY. Jordan is shooting with so much confidence right now.
 
Dogus is even stepping up his passes--he's had two gems in the past two minutes, but Tristan fumbled his and Alexis couldn't finish his.
