Ouch, roach with a little on the court dental work.

Yea, not sure how that wasn't an offensive foul. Even Smart wondered the same thing.

The Horns end the first half on a 16-3 run to take a 34-31 lead.

Dylan Osetkowski finished the half strong after a cold, cold start.  13 points in the first half.

Sims had a whopping 10 rebounds in the first half.

This team maddening to watch.  They can play so well in spurts. Then they flip the switch and play extremely terrible and undisciplined at other times.

I know some on here wanted Smart fired several times through-out this year but with everything that has happened to this team, I think he has done a tremendous job of coaching. Good win for the Horns!

Good dub. They are saying that the horns should make the tourney now. That’s great

 

[TheContractor]

we are in, barring multiple miracles. likely a 10/11 seed, unless we can knock off TT. Beating TT and things falling right could get us as high as 7.

I fell asleep during game.  :angry:   No excuses. Just too little sleep over several days. 

So glad we won. I fell asleep in my Texas gear cheering them on. We had depth going into the season, and now, so little. The guys played hard!

Hook ‘em!

It was. Just wasn’t called.  B)   The officials need some.
