Men’s Hoops: Do you care?

It was a good game. Even after UConn made their run Baylor managed to get within striking distance. But in the last 3 minutes missed free throws, misses shots, and a crucial turnover did them in.
 
I'm going to go back and watch Phi Slamma Jamma on 30 for 30. It was an entertaining documentary.

And we will have an all TX matchup on Saturday Baylor/Houston. Therefore a TX team is certain to be title game.
 
Oldman-- Hakeem, Clyde and Cadillac would crush these kids 3 on 5. And you know it.

I'm glad to see UH doing well in basketball, and I think Kelvin Sampson is a fantastic coach. However, those UH teams in the 80's would wipe the floor with this team.
 
Neither is getting shut out in the 4th quarter.....that is quite embarrassing.
I am sorry...but I just do not see Charli as a very good player. She has done NOTHING against good competition. No idea what makes her a #1 WNBA pick.

This season looks good only because of the 2 wins against better teams to make it to the Round of 8. Otherwise, this was a mediocre season that came to a fitting end.

I hope this team is not delusional about where they are.
 
I can’t see how anyone can argue with Charli going that high. This team exceeded expectations in the tournament like it or not. I’m just glad we don’t have a coach who’s a crybaby!!!

First year coach taking them to the elite 8, please explain how that was mediocre?
 
Like everyone else to score no points in a quarter is nightmarish. But a team of underachievers got to the elite 8. And a more talented team lost in the first round to a 14 seed.

It was nice to see our team go far in the tournament. But our bb coaches always go far early in their careers then slide downwards. Penders, Barnes, Smart, even with all that talent never went that far. Barnes did get into a final 4 and a couple of elite 8. In one TX got beat by a superior Memphis team. But in the other, LSU, they froze late in the game.

As far as the ladies go I grew to resent Jody Conradt. Yeah she won a title but she let the success go to her head. She was arrogant, entitled, and catered to. She felt she didn't have to do anything else. You may not like reading this but that was a lbig difference between her and Kim Mulkey.

So now comes coach Schafer. Does he have the drive to win and win often? I hope so.

Look with Deloss Dodds it was about Were TX and money. But do we have an ad who knows how to build a winning culture? And by that I mean hire coaches who to win a lot and not settle for a comfort zone. Since Darrell Royal who have we hired that had that fire? Eddie Reese definitely and I would put Augie in there maybe someone I don't remember.
But Dodds? Conradt? Barnes? Brown? I say no to all and yes I include Gustafson on my list. What good does the LHN do when you're not winning like you should? Here's another thing about making a lot of money and success on the field. Notre Dame has had a huge contact with NBC for 30 years how's that been working out for them since Lou Holtz retired?

Off my chest

Fat Lanny, is that you?

Did you read what I had typed? "Otherwise (than the 2 upset wins in the tournament), it was a mediocre season".

Those 2 wins should be treated as motivation for the future....but not the definition of this year's team.
Only teams who are consistently good make it to the final four and beyond.
If we think of this current team as being an Elite 8 calibre team, we would be way off in our assessment.
I do hope this will help with recruiting better players and help us win consistently.

This season has not provided enough evidence that Vic Schafer can certainly build that kind of a program. There is hope, though.
 
Right after the game, the commentator was giving kudos to Vic Schafer for a great 1st season at Texas considering all the things he had to deal with like Covid-related challenges (agreed) and social justice. Now, what on earth did social justice have to do with this basketball team's challenges?

It was season 1 for him correct? I think this season is a good sign.............
No. 4 rated recruiting class coming in. The one thing Karen Aston could do was recruit, but Vic has a track record of developing. Is this site going to turn into women's hoops pep rally?

 
I follow all our sports. Hell was watching the track meet earlier.
I think there is a major player from MSU looking to transfer to Texas to link back up with Vic, right? I think the dude is solid and will hopefully give Mulkey some competition to truly worry about. Girl aint got no one nipping at her heals in the Big 12 right now..................
