Texas vs Iowa State game thread

[utisdabomb12]

Texas is currently the 2nd 8 seed in Lunardi's bracket. 

A win today against a good RPI team could bump us up to a high 7. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Lightly put, this is a huge game for Texas.  Sure, they need a win but moreover it's a game that can't afford to lose.

Tip is at 1:00 pm on ESPN2.

Wow - not much of a crowd at FEC for a Saturday. Especially for a big game.

VCU and UMASS game running late here on ESPN2.  The game should kick-in in around a minute and a half.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

OK this is the longest minute and a half I have encountered in quite some time.

Score update:  Texas and ISU are tied at 8 w/ 14:35 left, 1st half.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

ISU goes on a li'l run, leads Texas 18-12 w/11:33 left, 1st half.

Texas turnovers killing us early. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

There are more questionable fouls in basketball than I care to count.  The whistle blows about every 5 seconds.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

How about Kendal Yancy?

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Apparently everyone 6'5" or over for the Horns is incapable of attacking the rim or playing with their back to the basket. 

Jump shots galore.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Horns have a nice tempo going today.  If they can keep it up good things can come if they keep making shots.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Is Holmes injured? Something just isn't right with him. Last two possessions he didn't even attempt to hedge the three. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Taylor's hot right now.  5 in a row for him.  Feed the beast.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Is Holmes injured? Something just isn't right with him. Last two possessions he didn't even attempt to hedge the three.

Since he's come back from the concussion injury, he's struggled a bit. Texas needs him/his leadership if they want to finish the season strong.

35-31 Iowa State at the half. You can't win games with 12 turnovers in a half. Some soft touch fouls called on us that half.

This game can be won if we just cut down on the turnovers. Iowa Sate isn't getting great looks on offense, they are scoring off the turnovers. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Holland & Yancy lead the Longhorns with 8 pts. each.

ISU's Bryce Dejean-Jones leads allscorers with 10 pts.
