Anyone watching? Physical game.

Hang in there

 

[car54]

We had this one in our lap and are trying to give it away.

 

[uisge beatha]

Yeah, neverthought I'd say it but Ibeh is keeping us in the game

 

[car54]

Letting Gathers play for 6 minutes with 4 fouls ...WTH ???

 

[uisge beatha]

We had this one in our lap and are trying to give it away.

I haven't seen it in our lap. And Gathers has gotten away with a few muggings

Not since his 4th foul..

 

[car54]

Finally got him !!!!!! May be too late...We shall see. We have to score !!!

 

[car54]

Lammert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[car54]

We have to eat up 30 seconds and score ......Come on !!!!!!!!!!

 

[car54]

Freaking FTs.....

 

[uisge beatha]

Felix rebound! YES

 

[car54]

Make this FT and we win .....Felix !!

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Clutch road win

 

[car54]

Pressure up floor to kill time, then foul before they shoot the 3....

 

[car54]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!! Ball game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 65-59 with 8 seconds left.

 

[uisge beatha]

Great road win - hard to come by in this league.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Sweet!

 

[mchammer]

How did they let Baylor get open looks for 3 at end of game?

Awesome win. Great energy.

 

[car54]

Unless we just go to crap we should be IN THE DANCE !!!!!!!!!.... .500 the rest of the way should be plenty to get in....and I see us doing more than that, the way Ibeh is playing.

 

[NBHorn7]

How does Gathers not get a flagrant foul call, with that elbow to Ibeh in the back?

I think Smart may start getting some votes for Big 12 coach of the year. What he has done since Ridley went down is pretty amazing. This a different team that is getting better and doesn't wilt in pressure situations, even on the road.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

4-1 vs top 20. Not easy to do with a fork stuck in ya.

 

[NBHorn7]

It's even harder to do with players like Lammert (player of the game) and Felix, (played a key role again in a big road win.)

We all know how terrible they are.

 

[SAMMCHornfan]

Yelp..and Shaka definitely needs to keep Felix and Lammert off the floor. They almost blew the game for the Horns...come on guys!!!

 

[SAMMCHornfan]

Hey...that should have been a tie NBHorn7...great minds think alike!

 

[22Horn]

and much of the success has been with Ridley out...Ibeh has really come through in many areas....better in all aspects of game

 

[txlandagent]

Another ranked Big 12 foe goes down. Well balanced, well coached, hard faught win. These guys went to Waco and played 40 minutes of damn good confident basketball. They looked like a team of grown *** men tonight. I'm very proud of what these guys have become and excited for where they're headed.

 

[SAMMCHornfan]

Is it a non-issue that if Ridley makes it back for a late run, that he automatically takes the floor ahead of Ibeh...IMHO, I would say he does not.

 

[harry_horns]

I can't remember the last time I've been this proud of any team at the University of Texas. Maybe the '14 CWS team, but I knew some of them personally.

To go into that environment, with those Baylor players playing that kind of dirty ball, and we answered the call and then some (personally, I would've like to see someone from Texas to stick a fork in Gathers back ). This team, and this coach, have really put together some eye-opening ball, and it's been really fun to watch.

What a stretch Texas has been on. I'm literally out of words to describe this right now. And the scary/exciting thing is, I don't think this Texas team, even without Ridley, has even BEGUN to play their best basketball yet!

 

[SAMMCHornfan]

I think the #1 reason for the turnaround has been the way they have been taking care of the freaking basketball! Do they lead the league in fewest turnovers?
