I wont bash any Texas or Tech players, but I will say this: For some reason Tech is a matchup nightmare for Texas just like Texas is a matchup nightmare for Kansas. I think all 3 programs have excellent players and coaches which is why they are all top 20 teams. If you took all the kids from these 3 programs, who knows who would start or not, it would depend on what style of play you would chose to play.
Aside from the Final 4 with Barnes, Penders also got us to the Elite/Great/Whatever 8 with BMW in 1990. I was in small basketball band that got to travel to the tournament. We started with upset wins over Georgia and Purdue in the Hoosier dome. In the next round at Reunion Arena, we overcame a double digit halftime deficit to beat Xavier but alas we got matched up against the Pigs. Nolan Richardson and that team had our number that year. We lost to them for the 3rd time that year and missed a trip to Denver for the final 4.
Given we have played 1 NCAA tourney game in the past 4 years, I'm amazed there aren't more "glass is half full" people here. We'll be a 4-seed and this team is capable of beating just about anyone. Quit bitching and enjoy the ride.
ifs and butts were candy and nuts. unfortunately for Shaka, this postseason will occur.
Eh...I'll guess we'll we see how the "fortunes" play out for Shaka this postseason.
ya got me there. haven't been a fan of him since he connected his team's ability to win based on the election of Donald Trump. Made me think of the quote of something like "The University of Texas athletic program will not be left to the feeble of mind or weak of heart".
Ok...I tawt I Taw a puddy tat. Happy now? It was a good hard fought win. He’s the one with feelings. Reminds me of a football coach the players loved.
Yes his line of coaching and politics would fit well in the NBA.
well after the reply I was given for being "banned" I figured it was time for me to give up--and my wife told me it was good since I was about to "sponsor" this site---money "not" spent is good I guess...
I can watch from the sidelines, so to speak
You were saying...?
Sunshine pumper, I agree the team is looking solid and fight to the end. However, I’m equating these covid times with WWII times, when teams like Army had Heisman winners. Arizona, Kansas, Duke, Michigan State are all down. Maybe we can become the BYU of ncaa basketball history. And that’d be awesome, but not likely, and then, yes, watered down.
And Baylor, Michigan, Illinois, Gonzaga, and Houston are up.
Gonzaga fields better teams consistently. Michigan has won it all. Houston and Illinois have 5 Final Four appearances each.
Hey, you shut the hell up, ya positive pete!
