We shouldn't hear the "over-rated (clap clap clap-clap-clap)" chant for at least 9 days.

I am absolutely amazed at how bad this team has become.

We actually shot the ball a little better today with the exception of J'Covan. It's just that Uconn went off on us to start the 2nd & our defense went back to Austin.

We have not really played that well the last 4 or 5 games in all phases. Offense has been poor, defense has fallen apart, extremely poor FT shooting & way too many turnovers. I hope it's just a mid-season funk & the guys can step up b/c I know Barnes is coaching the hell out of them!

Dex has just disappeared & is not working to get open enough and then he goes down on defense frustrated & commits a ****** foul time & time again. J'covan has disappeared. these 2 have got to step it up in a big way like they did earlier this year & it falls on them to man up.

Hook'em!

My sentimets exactly. I got so frustrated at the poor play, I turned the tv off w/6 minutes to go. Also, what happened to Damion James in the second half, he went MIA compared to his strong 1st half.

If the Horns are even thinking of sniffing an elite 8 in the tournament, they got a lot of work to do in order to get there. Right now, they are not getting it done. Dexter's minutes continue to dwindle by continually being in foul trouble early. We really need him to step up.
 
With the exception of the Colorado game, we have played bad every game since Gardner-Webb.
 
..only too well. The team and coach's reaction to Wacker's injury cost Abe Lemmons his job bringing on a very low period in UT basketball.

Wacker's eventual return to action in his later years is one of the finest 'profiles in courage" in UT history.
 
I don't mind the overrated change, especially since it is likely valid. The thing that always got me about that chant though it is that it seems to undercut the big win the opposing team's fans should be cheering for. They should be saying, "Yes, we beat #1"....of course that doesn't translate well into a chant.
 
How bad this team has become? Really? You should be ashamed of yourself.
