Texas was playing amazing D the 1st half of the season. Now since conference play started they have seemed to loosen up. They haven't been causing as many TOs and aren't holding their own inside. Thus perimeter and inside D has been bad.

I have been wanting to see Texas play more full court defense at times as well. We have such a deep bench that you would think we could sub guys in and out to stay fresh while playing at such a frenzied pace. But instead we routinely let teams trot across the midcourt line and very often all the way to the 3 point line. The 1st half of the Uconn game it came back and then it went away. I can't explain it.

I am hoping Barnes is trying to keep the team fresh for tournament play and isn't showcasing the team's defensive talent on the perimeter during every game and every half simply b/c he doesn't want to wear them out. But maybe I am being naive.

The PGs at UConn and K State are a little bit better than Texas Pan Am and UC-Irvine.
