Chris Beard to Texas

[Drtxhorn]

Arterio Morris will be a one year guy for us next season. I'm calling it right now - he's a sure fire lottery pick in the 2023 NBA draft. That dude is special.

 

[2300 Nueces]

Couple of things. Texas roster is full of 22-23 year old dudes who won’t be here next year, so I’m not sure how “it takes a couple years” makes sense with the roster Beard basically hand picked.

2nd. No it doesn’t take years to have tournament success

Chris Beard made the 2nd round of the tournament In his only year at Little Rock.

he made the elite 8 in his 2nd year at Tech and the final 4 in his 3rd year. It just doesn’t take years in basketball.

like I said the problem isn’t that they are losing to Tech and Baylor on the road. It’s the fact that they weren’t even competitive. They are too good for that

That's on the players, not Chris Beard. The same way Sark was dealt a shit sammich by TH. It's not always the coach. Blaming Beard for the player's timidity is stupid.

I don’t blame beard for that at least not totally. I do blame him for the team looking unprepared for some of these games. And I blame him for potentially targeting the wrong players. For example. One of Tech’s best players played for Rodney Terry at Fresno state and UTEP. How do we not get that guy? Lol

Remember Beard did inherit decent teams at those other locations. He had nothing at Texas.

This team is just commonly bad on the road

 

[Oldmanastro]

Geez, down 42-37 12 minutes left. Once again offense stalled.

What the hell is Askew good for?

Andrew Jones only one working on offense right now. He has 15 of 44 points

 

[Oldmanastro]

Coming down to the wire.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Tied at 66 with 24 seconds Texas ball.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Aaaaaannnd traveling violation.

 

[Oldmanastro]

I did not know Tre Mitchell has taken a personal leave of absence from the team.

 

[KChorn11]

Escaped with that one. That was a gotta have it game right there. We needed a road win in a bad way

 

[KChorn11]

Yeah kinda sounds like maybe a family matter

Solid road win against another tournament team. OU has defeated 4 top 15 teams. They've also lost a lot of games to some bad teams so consistency is an issue for them. This win will help our seeding in the tournament.

Big 12 is a gauntlet. A 7-11 conference record will get you in the tournament. Crazy!

I’m not sure OU will make the tournament. They only got 4 conference wins and still have to go to Lubbock and to Ames. Can a 6-12 conference recored get you in? I don’t know

 

[diadevic]

They’ve won 6 out of 8 , with the 2 losses being against ranked teams on the road. They beat first place Kansas, and a ranked Tennessee team that just drummed Kentucky by 20. They are ranked in the Top 20. Anyone not impressed with what Chris Beard is doing just doesn’t want to be impressed

 

[Oldmanastro]

Man, almost sounds like a tech home crowd. Heard they had to stop selling tickets to the public because tech fans were buying them up.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Tied at half 28/28.

Im wondering how many were bought up. I am also curious on how in the hell does tech travel to Austin that well. Is there many or more in Austin?

 

[KChorn11]

Good half. This is how the first game should of been. Gotta find someone on offense besides AJ and Ramey

 

[KChorn11]

Better find some offense soon or they are going to get run out the gym in the 2nd half. Haven’t scored in 8 mins

 

[KChorn11]

Horns are on the verge of getting blown out in the 2nd half. Gotta find some scoring, and fast

 

[KChorn11]

Jones and Febres trying hard to keep Texas in the game. 47-44 Tech 8 mins to go

 

[KChorn11]

Tech up 54-46 4 mins to go. Just a terrible offensively the 2nd half, and really bad game offensively from everyone not named Jones, Febres or Ramey

 

[westx]

How is the crowd? Is there a full house. I can’t watch

Heck, even the tv commentators are tech leaning.

 

[2300 Nueces]

Not a great showing. This team is weak inside. No presence. When does the baseball game start?

Baseball starts at 2:30 pm

Hook 'Em

 

[KChorn11]

Going 15 mins of game time only scoring 3 buckets came back to really bite them

 

[ElDiabloTejano]

well tell us about that loyola marymount-tech offense then. you did see it was a 1 point game with 1:30 to go, yes? sometimes the other guy just makes one more play-- that offensive rebound along the baseline was that play. tech is projected as a 2 seed; we're projected as a 4. and you guys are acting like we should be ashamed. there was nothing from either team to be ashamed of in that game.

Tech will be a 3 seed us a 4

 

[ElDiabloTejano]

not bad for a bunch of guys that had never met before may of last year

 

[KChorn11]

Tech will be a 3 seed us a 4

I think we will be a 5 or 6 when all is said and done.

 

[AustinRaider6]

Sorry if already posted.

I saw that TT students camped out for 4 days leading up to the game. I read that most of those kids that greeted the TX bus were drunken frat boys. And they're proud of what they did. I hope we can pay them back in 2 weeks.

You can’t
