Men’s Hoops: Do you care?

#33 for UCLA was a very dirty player (but also a damn good player). She ultimately injured her knee late in the game. The girls are tough players. They definitely have my respect.

Girls against girls yes. Duncanville's boys team would have beaten both of these teams tonight. I haven't watched ladies basketball in a while and the athletic differences are astounding.
 
Shaka just stealing money from Texas with no wins in the tourney after 6 years.....buyout is about 7.1 million. Marquette will be open where Shaka is originally from maybe he will be interested in going back or get his agent involved to send out a feeler. We can make a run for beard if we wait for his buyout to drop on April 1st to 4 million, but word is he could go to Indiana. Scott Drew could be in line for Arizona. Make a call to Royal Ivey and see if he is interested.

nobody except shaka and the stupid-a AD that extended him needs to apologize. we all kinda thought this would go better. i saw him at clinics talking about this and that. i didn't and don't particularly like the continuity PnR, but i thought "maybe he has to work an elementary school aau offense because they work so hard on the press." y'all remember that press right? sure ya do-- it's what got him the job. now, hasn't been seen HERE since tom penders.

so anyway i was all for the hire. but i knew by the time d-a AD extended him that he wasn't the answer. and since we're gonna suck next year anyway, don't buy him out and make him suffer through it with us. if he wants to leave, make him forfeit that buyout.
 
It had been silent around the 40 about Shaka. There could be things behind the scenes happening. The new stadium will not need a coach like Shaka opening it up. Think about that as well.

Well when things got a little quite around Herman that didn’t turn out good for him. Last year CDC came right out and gave a full throated endorsement of Shaka. The fact that he didn’t do that I think he’s exploring options at least. That’s my guess.
I know fans want Beard, boosters probably want Beard. If Beard is the guy they want you might have a better shot at getting him next year.
 
I could be wrong on the buy out.....but Shaka hasn’t done anything to embarrass the University. Herman on the other hand did and did often. I just don’t see him spending 6-7 mill on buying him out.

Right. That’s why I say if CDC is shooting for Beard or another big name. You may see him ride out the Shaka contract next year and make it a little more doable from a financial standpoint

Losing to Abilene Christian was the biggest embarrassment for UT since Charlie Strong lost to Kansas. Two radio stations in Dallas have had the ACU coach on this week - they are still crowing even though they got drilled in the next round. True, the buy out complicates things. But this is what the $20 million LHN is for.
 
With all the Trillions of dollars being handed out by the federal government, one could assume a million dollars next year won't have near the buying power it has today. Given that, it might be prudent to go ahead and get the right coach now regardless of any buyout.
Not to mention, I would really appreciate a coach that could develop/maximize Texas' talent.

This sounds like something an aggie would say. It was bad but don’t act like they were trash....I mean they did play TT within 7 earlier in the year.

Just watched Baylor beat Nova. Baylor is a quality team and fun to watch. It is such a contrast to Shaka ball in that Baylor had a decent lead, but they kept driving the ball getting layups over and over. Any time Texas would get a good lead, Shaka ball allowed for player's emotions of invincibility to take over and jack up 3s, subsequently losing the lead and even the game.

Does anybody think we could get Jay Wright? his Villanova salary was only $4.4m (only). However, UCLA tried to money whip him to no avail two years ago. I'm completely fine with Beard if that is possible. Just looking for other options. His team played well. They just met a better Baylor team. They needed their injured point guard

I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've pulled for Baylor to win. But you can bet that I'll be be pulling for them on Monday night. I'm gonna puke if an SEC team gets into the final 4 especially AL. And certainly not those hillbillies.

And speaking of Baylor in the women's bracket Baylor plays U Conn in the eastern regional final. So Mulkey goes up against Geno with a berth in the Final 4 at stake. Now that's a great storyline.

Guys the Lady Horns have stormed back from behind and lead. by 2 going into the 4thq against 2 seeded MD.
 
And they finished the job!!!! 64/61 horns. Kyra Lambert with a huge steal. MD was averaging over 91 ppg but not tonight. I doubt if anyone on here saw it but Charly Collier flashed a hookem in the post game interview.

UT basketball? A team over achievers is in the Elite 8. A more talented but underachieving team was eliminated in the first round. Think about it

Well I got half of what I wanted yesterday AL folded against 11th seeded UCLA yesterday. But as I mentioned above I want Baylor to bury AR tonight. I don't want any SEC team in the final 4.

So you think only the SEC teams have a Worldwide Wes or Christian Dawkins connection in MBB? I suspect every conference has its share of handlers and AAU middlemen. Just my opinion.

Well we've all needed a Baylor sports fix for a long time. Tonight we're getting our wish. Starting at 6:15 your time their women's team play's U Conn. And then at 8:57, also your time, the mens team plays AR. And it's all on national TV yeah! Almost 6 hours of non-stop Baylor sports! And I'm sure most of us longhorns have longed for this day to arrive.

Oh one last thing if their mens team and the lady horns win that will completely knock the SEC out of the March madness and I for one would love to see this.

Woo hoo hoo

Come on Cali - be like the SEC and root for our conference! We'll welcome all the good vibes we can get. UConn will be tough - but we'll have to get through them at some point, so why not get it over with? Arkansas is very long, which might create problems with our 3 guard offense, but I'll take our big edge in experience. How much will it take to sublease the LHN? We need our own channel to cover everything going on! Its being talked about in Waco as the biggest day in Baylor sports history, which might be true... until next week, when we lift two national championship trophies - SIC'EM BEARS!!!
 
I am a absolute Longhorn loyalist; however, I paid for my daughter to go to Baylor. She married a Baylor grad and he’s a pretty cool dude. So is it okay if I want to root for them?

Actually I’m not a fan of Mulkey so maybe I’ll limit my fandom to the mbb game.

Hey tongue in cheek humor I'll say this again I want Baylor to put a big time beat down on AR tonight. In the end it will be Baylor/Gonzaga like we all said it would

As for the women Geno vs Mulkey is a great story line. Could we get Baylor/Texas playing for the title?

I've written a letter to change the name of my school to Mulkey U. With all the SJW stuff on old Judge Baylor, we could do worse than pick a woman who's as tough as any human being to every walk on this earth Long live Mulkey!
