Lol apparently Tech wants Pitino too. He’d probably come closer to going to at johns than Tech give the fact he’s an east coast and an old school big East guy.

Everyone would want Rick Pitino if this was 2003. In 2023 most schools aren’t looking to hire a 70 year old coach. A school like at Johns who has been down for so many years and would love a 2-3 year run. Yeah why not?
Man the Big East was bad arse in the day. Those were some ridiculous conference tournaments. Now, not so much. Watching Ewing, who I’ve never been a fan of, was painful watching him get fired. I’m all Phi Slama Jama.

Yeah. The big 12 really has elements of those old school big East games. HOF coaches everywhere, every game just an absolute slugfeast
 
There is an ESPN 30 for 30 on the founding of the Big East. If you are from that era it is awesome.
Yeah I’ve watched it. It’s really well done. That was really great basketball. Of course a different time when guys stayed in college 3-4 years.

I’d love to know what he said because the official was on the other side of the court, and Terry wasn’t being demonstrative, or showing the official up(he was right btw should of been a foul) and she T’d him up from 40 feet away. He either said something pretty bad or she was overly sensitive.

Brock Cunningham is my pet peeve. I get that he’s a fan fave, and a Texas legacy guy. I also admit that the guy plays hard and hustles, and I admire and respect that. However, the guy commits way too many fouls. He’s really no threat offensively unless he is wide open and allowed to have a set shot. I’m not saying he shouldn’t play, but morris should probably be eating in to some of his mins
cunningham is a valuable glue guy. he has no ego, so he'll get his hands dirty; he sets good screens; can hit pop out 3s when a defender won't come out; rebounds okay; gets on the floor. HOWEVER, sometimes the talent on the floor is over his abilities. and when that happens, it's OBVIOUS. in this league, it can happen. doesn't happen often because he is a good player, but it happens from time to time.

he may be coaching us n 15 years, by the way. just gives off that vibe.
 
Fran said kinda what I suspected. If we needed him Allen would be able to go, but Rodney Terry getting him ready for next week. Smart call

I agree with all that, and I’m not bagging on him. Just think he plays too much. Gets over exposed. Morris should be getting some of his mins and has been lately I’ve noticed.
 
he started scoring a few weeks ago. want to say he had a big game against oklahoma and another in a game we lost. he's developed his offensive game well

he may going forward because he's stepped up lately, but he was awful earlier this year. every time he touched the ball, i groaned knowing something bad was about to happen. and then it would. but he's gotten better too

Yeah I agree. Early in the season I was like keep this guy as far away from the floor as possible. Like you would see flashes from him and then like 10 WTF moments. But over this last few weeks he’s started to look like a future star. Credit to him for working on his game.
 
Hell of a stuff by Kansas City kid Christian Bishop. TCU finding it harder to play D with an officiating crew that will actually call fouls.

Missouri just extended the contract of Dennis Gates. One of my dark horse coaching candidates off the table probably.

My list is short. Wright and Donovan. If not either of them, screw it give Terry a shot, he’s earned it.

That’s kinda my thoughts as well but I wouldn’t hate Dennis Gates or Jerome Tang.

I’ll say this every game he wins puts pressure on CDC to give him the job or bring someone in that makes everyone see why you didn’t give him the job, and the only two that do that are probably the names you list.

RT might choke somebody. He calls a TO and chews them out for being sloppy, then we come out of the TO sloppy. If I’m Terry I’m fuming right now.
 
What the hell was Fran talking about wanting that review? There was no way in hell a Texas player tipped that ball from behind and sent it sailing in the air like that.
 
good win tonight boys!!! lets win this big 12 championship!!!

Rice has become one of my fav basketball players


TEXAS
FIGHT
 
SJR needs to stop being so casual on offense-- he was sloppy with a pass that didn't get stolen luckily, he was casual about moving towards a pass thrown to him that tcu got to, and he threw one away down the stretch that he turned around and stole right back. so he got away with 2 of his acts of casualty (kurt loder/jewel reference from 1996 anybody?)

we're winning in different ways, and that's good. and down the stretch, even though he hadn't been scoring, marcus still put on his closer hat. though i still think he's tired. we need to get him off his feet for a few days after tomorrow. SJR's shots are short because he sticks his butt out when he shoots-- when he's straight up and down, he's usually good; when the butt is stuck out, it's going off front rim. btw, hunter is also playing better. obviously, disu and bishop are, and morris, but so is hunter.

Yeah I’ve been disappointed in Hunter most of the year, but him finally looking like the player we expected is a really good sign.

If I had told you KU and Texas would play for the title in get big 12 when the season started you might of bought that. If I told you the two head coaches in that game would be norm Roberts and Rodney Terry you would thought I was crazy. Weird times folks lol
 
Texas is making some tough shots and getting decent points in thr paint. Pretty physical
