Texas - OU

[Third Coast]

I thought I would start a thread for this game.

 

[Third Coast]

30-14 Horns with 5 mins in the half.

 

[Third Coast]

Everyone seems so well rested and energetic. lol

 

[FWHORN]

Wait a second, where is Baylor?

 

[Third Coast]

Jordan is on his game and that is a very good thing.

 

[GemStateJim]

Because I enjoy beating a dead horse, allow me to once again declare my contempt for the Big 12 Network. It seems I won't be able to watch a single Longhorns game during the Big 12 Tournament.

 

[GemStateJim]

Geez. From the box score, it looks like the first half was the Jordan Hamilton show.

Nice to see Ham get off the schneid. Jai seems to have found his shot, too.

 

[Third Coast]

43-20 at the half. Hamilton with 15. Even Lucas with 8. Horns looking pretty damn good.

 

[GemStateJim]

Yeah, 62 percent from the field is hard to top.

 

[Horn6721]

I did not know Hamilton had a sore hip. The good news is if we didn't know it neither did the opponents.

IF, and please let it, If this game continues like the first half it is the perfect quarter final game for the Horns.

Gem, you know that you can watch it on line from the big 12 site.

 

[Third Coast]

TT had a really solid half too, although he did put up a 3 foot air ball and then didn't get back on defense - which pissed Barnes off. lol

 

[Bigtex112]

Sure would be nice if this were the Jordan Hamilton we were going to see for the rest of the season. He looks energized again.

Pretty easy formula - when Jordan's hitting threes, this team is really good.

 

[Third Coast]

Jordan is actually only 1-3 from behind the arc, but 6-6 taking it to the hoop.

 

[salonghorn-70]

go to the official big 12 site. go to the tourney page

 

[GemStateJim]

Yeah, I've done that. And the link is to an ESPN3 video feed,which I cannot watch because my cable service provider does not have a partnership with ESPN.

 

[Branyon]

It would be helpful if Joseph started hitting his shots. He has shot about 30% during the past three weeks.

 

[Third Coast]

the 2nd half start has that old familiar feel to it.

Wake up Horns!

 

[salonghorn-70]

Sorry, Gem.

 

[Third Coast]

A couple of really bad shots that had no chance by Hamilton and then he fouls and gets a technical on top of that.

 

[Third Coast]

Does Gary Johnson lead the nation in missed dunks? lol

 

[Third Coast]

Still a 20 point lead, but I was hoping to push this to 30 something and rest some folks.

 

[Third Coast]

I tell you, if this team played smart the entire time they would be really good. They do some of the stupidest ****.

 

[ut1969]

Don't think I've ever seen a team miss more dunks and lose points on calls.

 

[Branyon]

So much for Hamilton getting his game back. The rest of the team didn't do so great out of the gate the second half hitting 1 of 8 or so from the field plus the missed layups, missed dunk and fouling on a three point attempt. It's as if the players went back to junior high during half time.

Forgot to add the turnovers. 8 assists and 11 turnovers - you've got it backward boys!

 

[salonghorn-70]

I don't think that I've ever seen any team have such 2nd half problems.

 

[GemStateJim]

They definitely struggle with consistency.

 

[Branyon]

This second half is some very poor basketball by both teams, but Texas has the talent to be playing much better than this. The Horns sometimes just do not maintain the requisite level of mental discipline.
