Where would we be without Weaver this game.

Where would we be without Weaver this game.

In the loss column

Was the game plan to have Disu continue to bomb away all night long? If he had made a few I wouldn’t be questioning it

I was wondering the same thing. What is up with that

In the bag now

That’s basically our offense. Abmas from three and Disu on the pick and pop from three. Weaver seems to be the only one that knows how to find his spots on the court and make himself available for the pass.

Really? Missing free throws.

 

[txhorn_et]

The Horns must’ve got caught looking to Tennessee. We’ll be a totally different team on Saturday

Weaver is our MVP tonight

100%. Right now Weaver is like a tennis player with a dominant arm. He’s exceptional at what he can do and very weak at what he can’t. I have high hopes though. I hope he can learn to play in more control in certain offensive situations, and I hope he can learn how to shoot the three. The ceiling is high though. The offseason will be critical for him in development.

I hear you but what’s the alternative? This team is very weak in offensive skill outside of him and Asmas.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

St Joseph’s up next.

 

[caryhorn]

Horns win!!! On to the next round.
Beat Tennessee!!!

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Yes, really.

If you have bought any of those special glasses to watch the eclipse, you may want to wear them if you're going out for dinner tonight. The brightness from the glow of Rick Barnes smiling will be blinding

[Horns365]

We had three assists in this game. Not a typo. Three (3). That’s downright terrible and indicative of the level of this offensive. Yeah we won and all but that was more a product of our opponent being historically bad in the first half - not because of our suffocating defense - but because they missed every shot they took when they weren’t passing it right to us for a down hill dunk.

Isn't Craig Way doing post game?

 

[LonghornCatholic]

I get some folk are born to complain but like the panel said, Texas’ worst game and still won. Not asking anyone to stop complaining though, but great defense

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Kentucky down 7 with 8 remaining.

This team is not beating Tennessee shooting like they did tonight. 1-14 from 3. They will have to shoot 50% from 3 to have a chance. Problem is Tennessee has the size and athleticism to completely shut down Abmas and Disu. Texas will have to rebound much better. Giving up 13 offensive rebounds to csu is bad enough, but Tennessee can absolutely destroy the Horns on the boards. Tennessee is similar to fifth ward although I think fifth ward is better. On the upside, Texas didn’t play well so based on their seesaw season, they should be due a much better game.

Damn I feel like some folks on here are rooting against this team. We were a 3 pt favorite and won by 12. But that isn't good enough, let's dig through the stat line to find something to nitpick.

Disu was 5/18 and Abmas was 5/15 and we won by 12.

I guess people who were ready to crap all over this team are pissed they have to wait at least one more game.

And before all the Tennessee and RB lovers appear, look at the SEC today. Losses by 2 higher seeded teams and 3 seed Kentucky in a dog fight with Oakland.

 

[LHABSOB]

watch a lot of Creighton games and that team can play. We should consider their coach.

That's the Creighton team that lost by 20 this year to this Colorado St team, right?

6721,

The post game show is not available through Texas Sports, so I have no idea how to reel it in.

I was just trying to pump a little sunshine and hope. My shrink suggested I put more effort on being a bit more positive

Oakland just hit a BIG 3 to go up on Kentucky 78-74 with 29.0 to go

 

[SabreHorn]

Damn! Oakland and Kentucky both hitting several clutch threes down the stretch

Could be - they also beat the living life out of the the overall #1 seed of this tournament and defending national champions… so if I’m Creighton, I’ll take that loss and that win versus what Texas got which was a win over Colorado State, an OT loss to Houston and a win over Tech as the major accomplishments of the season. What would you choose?
