Chris Beard to Texas

Going from up 5 to down 10 in about 6 1/2 mins is pretty pathetic which is what I was referring too. At some point those 6-10 min scoring droughts that happen every game are going to have to stop
Pathetic??? The Texas Longhorns won. They shot 60% against a Bob Huggins team on the road. They are projected as a Top 4 seed. They've won 8 out of 11 against, as you called it, a gauntlet of a schedule, where we would see what they are made of. They are passing with flying colors. With a roster made on the fly.

I came on this board for the specific reason to see how you could possibly come up with something negative to say. Thanks for not letting me down!

Yes we shot 70% in the first half. We played well I said we played well. Then we came out in the second half. Went 6 mins without scoring and were out scored 17-2. Gave all that up and then some. And had to make a frantic comeback in the last 15 mins or so, and that’s more or less how every game goes in some form. You just can’t play like that and expect to beat good teams. It can work against the WVU’s and the TCU’s of the world. Can’t beat good teams like that though. Which is why we’ve largely struggled against good teams. Even in the Tennessee game we blew a 17 point lead in about 8 mins which os quite a feat. When we play well I say we played well. When we don’t play well I say we don’t play well. I’m sorry you don’t like that, but it’s not changing
 
Man, you are tough to please. I’d hate to see all the invective you surely must have written about Dime Store Deepak Chopra and his teams in the preceding six years!
No he’s just mad he’s wrong about the hire. He’s been very vocal about not liking the Beard hire. So anytime they win or play well he has to have something negative to pile on.

Just stop. Tech just lost to TCU on the road. A win is a win regardless of how it happened. Any win on the road is a good win in this conference.

Every team in CBB has ups and downs during the course of a game and season. That’s nothing unusual. It’s how teams weather the storm and play through those moments that separate the great from the good teams.. Everyone has talent these days and you have to bring your best every game.

Purdue and Tx Tech both are top 10 teams and they both lost to unranked teams today. Does that mean they now suck and have no shot to make a deep run? Of course not.

That’s basketball. The ups and downs are part of the game.

It’s a long season and getting hot at the right time is key. Really good coaches know how to push the right buttons at the appropriate time of the season. Eric Musselman is a good example. He finds the right rotation midway through the season and his teams end up hot going into the post-season. I wouldn’t want to play Arky in the tournament this year. They’ve taken down both Auburn (when #1) and Kentucky in the last couple of weeks.

Nos. 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 8 lost yesterday.
 
Playing well tonight. A win tonight would be huge. This team seems to be hitting a nice stride the last month. Let’s hope it carries over into the tournament.
 
Good news Texas held Baylor to 35% shooting in the first half. Bad news only up 3. 30-27 at the half.
 
This team just doesn’t score enough to beat good teams. You can’t shut good teams down for 40 mins very often.
 
I only caught the last 5 or so minutes because of work. In that time, Jones missed a wide open kick out 3 that would've blown the roof off, Ramey missed a wide open 3, Ramey faked ggw entire Baylor defense and proceeded to miss a wide open 5 footer (left it short-- that means something I won't say, and it's not being tired), we had a couple good looks inside that got stuffed, and Jones missed another open 3 off weave action. As a coach, it's your job to get the players open shots; it's the player's job to make them. So that's not bad offense kchorn, that's bad shooting.

Right on. Basketball is a make or miss game. When the shots fall your team looks unbeatable. When they don’t you look like the Washington Generals.

Truer words were never spoken. This is why college hoops is so exciting. You go 2 for 15 from 3's, and you lose. You go 10 for 15 --- you are on fire, that's 24 more points, and the worst team in the country is suddenly upsetting the top team.
 
it was a really good game between two really good teams. we are dangerous. i'm sure debbie downer will be along shortly to tell us chris beard screwed the pooch in this one for having the audacity to lose in OT at phog allen, but i'm telling you kansas is really good; tech is really good; baylor is really good; and Texas is really good.

We have a shot to do some real damage. With a break or two, we could have a punchers chance at Elite 8. BUT we've GOT to close people out.
