Offer RT the job right now! His adjustments after that last time out was a work of art! PSU had just taken the lead and he calmly settled our boys down and kept it simple. Pick and Roll with Disu the rest of the way.

RT’s price is going up and up each time we advance. Give him the job and stop messing around!

Yeah the coaching search should be over. Look hiring RT might not work out. It is definitely not a sure thing, but as it turns out you’re sure thing(Chris Beard) wasn’t a sure thing. Terry has earned the job, and at this point Texas would look ridiculous hiring anyone but him

gotta keep ogden and donewald if terry is the man. it's donewald handling the offense, yes? he does a great job. terry does a great job with defense.

Yeah gotta keep those guys. Donwald has fixed a lot of the issues the offense had last year. I’d give Terry the job and give those two guys whatever they wanted to stay.
 
RT didn't win that game.
Disu did.
Disu had a hell of a game but the Longhorns held Colgate who was the best 3 point shooting team in the country and Penn state the best 3 point shooting team in the big 10 to what was probably their lowest totals of the season.. gotta give the the coaching staff credit for that.

I’m sure 2024 and 2025 recruits are taking notice. Once RT is officially named HC the recruits and transfer targets will start to put us in the mix. They’re just waiting to see who the coach will be.

Disu did.
True dat. However, RT was smart enough to know that he needed to ride Disu down the stretch with him in the pick and roll. It’s not complicated. Shaka would’ve had us running some BS one on one action.
 
So Texas is going to play

Pitt or Xavier next Thursday/Friday
Then Houston, Miami, or Indiana on the weekend.

Probably favored to win all those matchups
 
They played the 102nd ranked schedule in the country. They are a good team, but let’s be honest you put Texas and Kansas in that schedule and they are 30-3 as well.

That’s beside the point though. They have not played that well in their first two games. They’ve been lucky to get out with a win.
Wth? You weren't watching the same game I was. That second half why they're the number one overall seed. Behind by 10 win by 17 in what was an Auburn home game. We could see them in the elite 8.

Being favored means absolutely nothing in the tournament. Got to beat Pitt or Xavier first before we worry about Houston.

I doubt we would be favored to beat Houston, especially if Sasser is healthy.
 
Rough tournament for the big 10. If Michigan state or Indiana don’t win tomorrow they won’t get a single team in to the 2nd weekend.

Sublett just likes to talk in circles and forgets what he say
No one makes you read or respon.

You know you and others gave me all kinds of shit last year about hating chris Beard and how I just wanted him to fail and all that bullshit.

Did you notice that many of the things that I was saying had to be fixed for Texas to be successful under beard he went out and fixed? I said he had to get another guard to go with Carr because Carr wasn’t really a facilitator, so they went out and got Hunter. I said that Chris beard needed to get someone to over haul the offense and stop trying it to grind every game out 58-57. He went and added Donewald to staff and made the offense faster paced more efficient and one of the higher scoring teams in the country. Maybe instead of bashing me and putting words in my mouth you ought to listen.. might learn something

If we see them in the elite 8 we will win
 
I was looking at the box score just now. Coach Terry did something tonight he doesn’t normally do, and in all honesty it’s one of the reasons we won the game. He basically played 6 guys tonight. Cunningham, Bishop and Morris played less than 10 mins each. That was a good move. This was a game Cunningham would of got exposed in extended mins
 
If anyone is curious it looks like our bracket will play Friday/Sunday next week

Man I’ve forgotten more about the game of basketball than you’ll ever remember. You say so much bullshit and nonsense on here that it’s only a matter of time before at least some it is going to come true. I’ve never seen a person contradict themselves as much as you do.

You were wrong about Beard and you’re still wrong about him as a coach. He put together a team who is on its way to making a final four run right now. And you said it was a bad hire lol. Not sure why you’d be thumping your chest about being wrong…
 
Looks like it will be Xavier. They are a good team. It will be a battle, but if they shut down the 3 point shooting the way they did the last two games they should win.

On offense if Disu and Allen can make their big guard them away from the paint, should open up some driving lanes for Carr, Hunter and Rice.

Will need more 3’s than just one for sure.

Xavier doesn’t shoot FT’s well. Could be the difference in the game.

Disu has gone from being a solid guy who could occasionally make a play to the guy who HAS to be the focal point. He was outstanding last night, and has been for the last month.

Yep Disu has been rock solid. Now that he’s 100% and trusts his knee he’s back to the player he used to be.
 
Xavier is a similar team to Texas. They’re outstanding defensively and they have decent size and length. They do a lot of switching on defense which puts a lot of pressure on opposing wings to make contested outside shots. We have to drive the ball inside and kick it out. Our three point shooting needs to at least 33% in order to give us a chance. Free throws at least 80%. Like always, rebounding and turnovers will decide the game. We have to win in both of those categories.
 
Don't let Pitt crapping the bed distract us from the fact that something called a Kennesaw State pushed Xavier around in the first round

Yeah Pitt played well the last 6-7 mins to make it closer than it was. Overall though they didn’t challenge Xavier at all
 
Well if CDC wants coach Cal… he’s available. Not the route I think we should go, but we’ll see.
 
this is gonna shock you, but in a crucial timeout with about 3 minutes left, the sideline reporter said shaka took his team through a breathing exercise. izzo probably did not use the same tactic. also shocking, since said timeout, michigan state has outplayed and out-toughed shaka's team
 
i was never more confident filling out a bracket than when i saw izzo vs shaka in round two. my only concern was whether shaka would get there

To the extent that you can be a good tournament coach. Tom Izzo is a good tournament coach.

He’s taken Michigan state to the tournament like 25 times and has one at least 1 game 20 times. You don’t want to see him in your bracket

The Shaka special. 0 coaching/plays called to help get a bucket in the final crucial minutes.
