Fire Rick Barnes!

oh, wait.  the game hasn't started yet.  nevermind.  if we win, nevermind again.

btw, i'm not a nellie.  In my first bracket, i picked Texas to the Elite 8 where we lose to kentucky.

 yeah, i know.  i'm a sunshine pumper, but if that's the case, so is Andy Katz because this morning on Mike and Mike, he chose Texas as his prime dark horse to the Elite 8.

and, i've got the hat with me in case you were wondering.  

not sure if it works on basketball.  we'll see.  no guarantees after joeywa's putdowns recently.  may take awhile for me to undo the psychological elder hat damage he's inflicted (and still no apology.  SMH).

[Aaron Carrara]

Showtime.

 

[Worster1]

Time to step up Horns!!!

 

[Matt Cotcher]

There goes the shutout.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas needs to watch the turnovers here early.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

And Taylor with 2 quick turnovers.... 

 

[Juan]

We have a considerable size advantage

Simple offensive formula yes?

Well, no, we are jacking up 3s

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Another Travel on Taylor.  Texas needs to settle down.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Ugly start for Texas. We have a huge size advantage and refuse to get the ball inside. 

 

[Juan]

9m in and we have 7 points

 

[tejasrulz]

The Butler player was moving so that should have been a blocking call, not a charge on Turner.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Felix hits a three.  Horns are still playing sloppy in transition.

Butler - 16, Texas - 10 (9:07 left, 1st half)

 

[Juan]

Not to mention he flopped

 

[MikeV73]

Sloppy play thus far, turnovers killing us. I thought Turner jumped up not so much into the defender.

 

[MikeV73]

As with the rest of the season, where is the post up?

 

[MikeV73]

Oh there it was Ridley

 

[Juan]

Almost zero effort by Barnes to take advantage of our size
