we blew the OSU game.

Had the game in regulation. The missed free throw and the strip after the FT rebound.

Should not have let that one get away.

Kind of saw this coming. The team doesn't have the defensive mindset or the size to stop huge scoring days.

Brown had another great game. Kabongo looked better than he did against Rhode Island. Lewis continues to jack up mysterious shots with too much time left on the shot clock, so that leads me to believe that he's hitting those in practice and Barnes is giving him a pass to do it against teams who play better than we do in practice.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well Wangmene and Chapman played, but that's just not going to be enough against slashing teams or anyone with a post player.

Right now, I'm sticking with my 19-12 prediction (before the conference tourney). Bubble team with a guy who ends up as a second-or-third-team All America in Brown.

 

[Third Coast]

Missed the game, but from the box score it appears that turnovers had a lot to do with it.

 

[Branyon]

One or two plays do not cost a game. 23 turnovers will cost a game.

Positives include solid FG% *except Lewis), solid FT% and, surprisingly, outrebounding the Beavers. The box indicates 5 Longhorns fouled out. When was the last time that happened?

 

[Bill in Sinton]

Are we going to get swept by the Aggies this year?

 

[Horns11]

The women might get swept by A&M as usual, but I'm predicting a men's split. If Middleton isn't 100 percent for either of their games with us, we'll probably win that one by outscoring them. Especially if Kabongo continues his natural improvement as the season progresses.

I don't think we'll have a game where someone holds us under 59 points, which is probably A&M's best chance of winning. If Brown just goes cold randomly like AJ Abrams and hits 3 of 22 shots, I think we can still score more with Kabongo picking up the slack of distributing the ball around.

The big problem right now is crazy bad rotation on defense. I saw some plays on Saturday where the guard on the elbow would drop down and try to block a shot attempt from the corner. Like 6th grade basketball errors.
