Yep. Holland is averaging almost 20 and 6 in the G league. He would have not only been a contributor but one of the best players in the nation. Pair him with Disu and Abmas, and easily this is an elite 8 type team. Not sure what happened with Holland. Based on his public statements and Texas reaction to his request out I’m sure there is a story there.

Didn't watch the game huh? Another Houston player just fouled out, to give you an indication of how it went. The refs called touch fouls on Houston all night.
Now... there is a theory that the big 12 is so physical that when they get officials from other conferences in the tournament, they don't adjust their games and what happened to Houston last night, happens.
But that game last night was horribly officiated. Houston wasn't allowed to make eye contact with atm without a foul being called. Start to finish.
Four starters fouled out on the bench by the end of the game (including Cryer and Shead), and a walk-on shooting only his 5th free throw of the season with 17 seconds left.
I really wish the NCAA would move to 6 fouls for disqualification and 4 Quarters. 5 fouls just gives the refs too much influence in the game. And going to quarters with the fouls resetting after each would keep the game from devolving in to a FT contest. They’ve already went to quarters in the women’s game a few years ago
I don't like 6 fouls - rewards mugging. But you are on to something with resetting the fouls after each quarter. Stops the one and one from beginning only 8 minutes into the game.
Yep they’ve done it in the women’s game and the game flows better. One other thing I’ve noticed refs do they’ll call like 6 fouls on a team early in a half and then all the sudden they won’t pick up another one… it’s like ok either your letting stuff go all the sudden or the stuff you were calling earlier was complete BS
to be honest I don’t really love the 6th foul but because the refs are so bad at times. Giving an extra foul kinda covers for the officials
This dude would be an intriguing get out of the portal. Probably gonna lose Mitchell and obviously Disu
UK isn’t going to fire Cal. It would cost them 33 million dollars. Cal might leave for another job. SMU has something cooking idk what but they seem poised to throw some money around, but UK isn’t firing him it’s not just the money either like you say who are they gonna hire? There is no one.
Texas was kind of the same boat last year. Some folks didn’t want Rodney Terry but if not him than who? Jay wright wasn’t coming here he doesn’t want to coach anymore. I think Texas could have got Cal if they had wanted him but I don’t think that would have been the right direction. There weren’t and aren’t great options.
Ya, I would like RT to succeed. He seems like a good guy. He's not a screamer like B Knight etc.. very personable. Hopefully he can get a better team on the court.
Ok boys it's now the sweet 16. Tonight I have North Carolina, Arizona, UConn, and Iowa State. Tomorrow I have Houston, Marquette, Tennessee, and my upset of the weekend is Gonzaga over Purdue. I have 8 controversial reasons for making these picks. Ridicule and abuse from other posters on here.
And hey guys let's wish the best for the lady horns they're in Portland this weekend. Tomorrow they play Gonzaga. If they advance they will play the Stanford/North Carolina State winner on Sunday. Let's pull for the lady horns to punch their ticket to the final 4 next weekend.

Well AZ, NC down Iowa State in a fight right now and Bama makes the elite 8 second time ever in school history! Nate Oats that is all I'm gonna say......Bama has never been a basketball school....
I forgot to post my picks, but I'll post my 3 out of 4 losses from last night. Uconn is my only pick that won last night just like you. Hard to believe Clemson beat AZ. Anyway, I have NC St over Marquette, Purdue over the Zags, Chreighton over Tenn and UofH beating Duke.
Baylor, Arizona, Iowa State all lost. The games were relatively close but they couldn't shoot the ball they deserved to lose. I heard it was the same with North Carolina. Please don't let Alabama get to final 4 haven't they had enough success in football?
Nah I'm just out here in Placer County. Baylor should have been Clemson. And now all the Big XII left is Houston.
We know. And it's entertaining to us.
It doesn't make us love you any less though.
Yep. Even with your terrible basketball picks and questionable political affiliations, you’re still part of the Dungeon Dregs.
Texas women beat the hell out of Gonzaga tonight. Hook’em.
And their biggest obstacle to getting to the final four was Stanford, who lost to Oregon State last night.
Hey did anybody check out Wemby's box score last night? He dropped
40 points
20 boards
7 assists
on the Knicks.
Wemby and Chet Holmgren are both rookies and they're as good as advertised. But there's no question who the better player is this year. Holmgren has hit the rookie wall Wemby has played better the last month. These guys play each other one more time before the season ends. Hope I can see it.
Btw Jalen Brunson dropped 61 points on the Spurs last night.

Texas tech PG pop isaccs is entering the portal. Texas is looking heavy at Guards and post players. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are a major player here.
They made the final 4 cut for the SOuth Dakota state PG. he’s a really good player and would be a major get, but he’s from Lawerence, KS I’d be shocked if he went anywhere but KU

Well boys our lady horns are going for a final 4 spot today this afternoon. On national tv at high noon.

He’s a damn good coach. They really have no success in basketball to speak of
Lady Horns struggling at the moment. NC State has a girl that is just on absolute blistering fire.. given that, we're still within striking distance. as that girl cools off, we could cut the lead down. HOW tight a game we can make it is the key (obviously). if we can get it tight, NCS may get tight; if they keep us at arm's length, we may play desperate, which is usually a bad thing.
Yeah. Wasn’t the lady’s best game Madison Booker as good as she’s been all year looked like a freshman the last two games. Next year though with Rori(hopefully) back healthy and Booker back with a year under her belt this team is going to be something to deal with.
There was an article in the Washington Post about him. He's another Jim Harbaugh.
Girls started off well then NC State made adjustments quickly and started to knock down shots. That one girl from NC State had the game of her life with that many 3s we stop her we win. She had 21 points in one half. That is what our girls were missing all game someone that could make 3s.
Fresh off the Chris Beard fiasco, I’d be surprised if Austin would put up with this.
