Nice dub. Way to go. They really good

I guess I'm the only one bothered by the two different colors of orange...tops and bottoms.

Big road win for the Horns

Solid win, great second half with lots of clutch shots and good defense.  Now we need to beat Kansas and shut up my work friend who went there.  He doesn't even acknowledge Kansas has a football team...except after last year's game.  Otherwise he never speaks of football.  Jackass!

PS: I hate autocorrect on iPhones.

Big win on the road and handing Bama their biggest loss so far this year.

After a sloppy start, the Horns started warming up and at one point was at ~45% on 3 pt shots. They ended up missing more to end at 28% for the game but Davis hit 2 big 3s in a row.

Bamba made up for getting his butt handed to him against Tenn St going 7 of 10 with 2 of the misses coming from behind the 3pt line. He needs to realize he's not Durant and stay low.

Coleman had one of his better games overall. Glad to see him shooting the ball more. He drives now and they know they have to guard him or he will shoot.

Mr Consistent (Dylan O) was anything but tonight with his shooting and TOs. His bright spot tonight was on the glass.

Davis and Roach had very solid games.

Great win for the team tonight against a good opponent. Next game Kansas comes to town.

Must admit I didn't notice it. I'll be sure to check it out on the replay.

Yes, Bamba needs to camp out in the lane and stop shooting threes.  Also, did every basket he make come on a dunk tonight?  That's what I'm thinking.  Dylan needs to stop launching threes as well and get down low.

Noticed that late, thought it was sweaty jerseys but probably not.  On a similar note the women's soccer team never has matching orange shorts and jerseys as well.  I'm sure all Hornsports patrons watched women's soccer this year

No, he had a couple of non-dunks but they were in the paint.

Edit note: Bamba made 1 lay-up, all other baskets were dunks.

Dylan can make 3s, he was just off tonight but he can do some damage down low.

Thanks for the info.  Dylan can make threes, had a clutch three earlier this season to put a game away late I believe.  However, he needs to allow the offense to run before chucking up a three early in the shot clock.

Yep I notived. I thought my eyeballs were going nuts

This one may get ugly. Avery Johnson is a good coach. He will take full advantage of Texas' lack of offense and their injuries.

I love it when I'm wrong.

Ugly for bama
