Texas vs. AZ State tip-time: Thursday at 8:40

[giveemhell]

I love late games personally. So what do we know about these devil worshippers?

 

[MojoMan]

Texas wins this game, and then gets blown out against Michigan in the next round. No round of 16 this year.

Clearly, this team has exceeded the expectations of everyone who has memory recall going back as far as the day before the season began.

Well done to the team and especially to Coach Barnes. And here is looking forward to next year, which should be better still.

3-5 the last 8 games.
Need to pick it up.

Texas leading at the half.

47-38 early in 3rd

 

[Walking Boss]

No way Texas hangs on. Blown a 14 pt lead and it is a free throw shooting contest the rest of the way. Frustrating, because they had the game in control and started making stupid mistakes on both ends.

 

[VYFan]

Nice 3 by Felix!

 

[Walking Boss]

Will anyone step up? Doesn't look like it.

 

[Walking Boss]

They must go to the basket. These officials are calling every little contact. Nice effort by Ridley. Huge possession here.

 

[Walking Boss]

Incredible finish. A little lucky, but incredible none the less. I gladly eat crow since the horns did just hang on.

[cmtsip]

Hell yes!!!

 

[BabHorn]

they hung on.

Texas 87 ASU 85

 

[tejas77]

Ridley with the huge put back! Horns win 87-85!

 

[AustinBat]

Wow! What an ending!

 

[caryhorn]

WOW! What a finish. Congratulations to the young horns for fighting hard and pulling this game out.

 

[EasternHorn]

Wow, that was exciting. No matter what happens Saturday, next year looks very promising.

 

[georgecostanza]

Did anyone else wish Felix would've been replaced by Walker for the last 5 minutes of the game?

[OrangeOsoFu]

very exciting game with a bunch of viewers since it was the CBS game. Texas can beat the Wolverines. Oh and next year looks just plain sick....

 

[DINO22]

I felt like Texas was more in a rhythm with Felix out of the game.Walker did his thang, when he was out on the court.And I would have stayed with that.Because that's what got us the lead.

 

[Htown77]

That was great! This has been a fun season! Excited for Michigan and next year as well!

Officials were letting most stuff go and then at halftime suddenly switched reffing philosophies and called everything possible. The most ridiculous part was when their PG dribbled up the court and bumped into, from behind a Texas player who was running down to play defense, and got the foul call. Of course it was followed up by a blatant illegal screen on us and that was the one thing the refs didn't call; wasn't one-sided, just bad both ways. Made no sense.

I thought we were done for at the end with our bad shot selection, followed by standing there watching the ball instead of boxing out, followed by another bad shot, but in the end our last pair of offensive rebounds made up for it and then some.

 

[Hornia]

I so badly would love to see this season go on for another week. This is one of the greatest times of the year for basketball fans...especially when your team is in the tournament. Oh, and yes I do feel the Horns have a good shot against Michigan. Wofford hung with them even with shooting 1 of 19 from three point range.

a sweet vicktree!

BEAT THE HELL OUTTA MEAT-CHICKEN!

 

[Texaholic]

To beat a team that made 8-15 (53%) of their 3 point shots is pretty good.

This was the first game winning shot with no time left on the clock since Butler beat ODU in 2011. That could be a really, really good sign.
