*****Texas vs. Tennessee State Game Thread*****

Same starting 5 as Saturday against LA Tech. We will see if Eric Davis sees some action after missing last game with a hurt wrist.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas jumps out to a 3-0 lead and is dialing up the full court pressure early.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas 1-5 from the field.  Struggling with shots here early on.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Matt Coleman with a nice feed to Dylan O down low to give Texas a 5-4 lead heading into the U16 timeout. Coleman continues to struggle with his shot, though.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Osetkowski with 4 points, Mo Bamba with 1 point.

Texas leads Tenn. State 5-4  14:47 left, 1st half

Anyone else tired of the black uniform look this season?  

Signed,  grumpy old man, now get off my lawn.

Ha. I was just about to say something about those. Personally, I am also not a fan.

Hard to tell what our offensive philosophy is this season.  We have the 8 foot tall post player who rarely gets the ball.  When he does he is too high in the post and dumps it back outside to the guards.  We need to channel Kareem and bust out the sky hook.

Texas shooting just 20% from the floor.

Tenn. State leads Texas 12-7, 9:59 left 1st half

 

[MikeV73]

We are not a good basketball team.  Forced passes, too many threes being launched...and missed badly.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas 0-10 from 3

Looks like streetball...no structure to the offense.

The offense is totally lost without Andrew Jones. I would almost compare it with Connor Williams going down for the football team.

Too many threes.  The height advantage we have should lead to points in the paint.

Agree, but they have had about two weeks to practice without him.  Wait, is Tim Beck calling plays tonight?

 

[MikeV73]

Can't believe Bamba has been blocked twice.

I haven’t seen this many empty seats on a regular basis since the Bob Wetlich era.
