Texas vs. Baylor

[Statalyzer]

That was a sad end to 2 OT. Missed shot on a possession where everyone stands around doing nothing. Fall behind on a putback dunk where everyone stands around watching the shot. And then a final possession that goes nowhere. Oddly enough about 30 seconds later the Spurs lost on the most inept final possession I've seen in a long time.

This is a young team. But I can’t help but look at who’s younger/less player experienced than us this year.

#346 Oregon - 17-8, 7-5
#348 Alabama - 16-9, 7-5
#350 Duke - 20-5, 8-4
#351 Kentucky - 17-8, 6-6

Granted not all youth is of equal athleticism, and you could argue those are down years for Duke and Kentucky....

Bamba needs to stay in college an work on his game. Learn how to make a two foot shot at the rim. Seriously.

OTOH, Tristan Thompson has made a whole lot of money even though he probably couldn't even describe a single post move.

And why does he seem to be worse now than he was at season's beginning? Are his legs gone? He just looks kinda doughey to me, and wondering if he could drop about 20 pounds over the offseason and be a lot sharper..

I’ve been thinking this all season. Maybe less time in the shampoo bowl and more time on the elliptical. Go back the high and tight and hit the sleds.

I knew our program was going to miss Todd Wright at some point. Wright was a magician at getting players bulked up or shredded over the summer. It seems like our guys from that era just had overall better stamina, explosiveness and athleticism’s. Just game ready.

I’m not sure what Roose is getting paid for because our “sport performance” on court is suspect. We don’t appear to have the fitness to run and move properly; which may be why we can’t close out alot of our games and seldom see the Havoc. Nay, have-ick.

Here's the thing I don't understand at all. Dylan O. is horrendous and next to last on the team at 26.5% from 3pt range yet he is second in attempts making 27 of 102 for the year only behind Eric Davis who has attempted 107.

This was a trait of Barnes' teams too - at least at the end (Felix). Our worst shooter shot the most​

So why not in games? And why does he seem to be worse now than he was at season's beginning?

Because he's more worried about his hair style than his game at game time.
