*****GAME THREAD - TEXAS vs. NEVADA: NCAA Tournament Round 1*****

Dylan can’t hit anything today. 
Yep, hate to blame a player but this loss is on him. He started the year off great but tailed off in the 2nd half. He had a dismal game and never should have attempted a shot in OT.

Oh well, on the baseball. Oh crap, we suck in that so never mind!

 
That is one pathetic end to the season.  A win would have made this season tolerable.  Oh well, at least baseball is kicking ass.....whoops.  Not impressed at all by the coaching staff this season and last season.   Made the tourney, but blew this game.  We have enough good players to design an offense and to win these games.  Nevada is not that great which doesn't say much for us.  Dylan blew it at the FT line shooting well below his average.  One FT made in regulation wins this game.  He missed 7 I believe.  Similar game all season:  I watch us build a big lead first half, other team adjusts better than us at halftime and closes the lead, we lose a game we should have won, my blood pressure goes up and realize I shouldn't have wasted 2.5 hours watching.   Coaching is lacking even if our guys are young.  Yes I am negative here but expected much more from Smart.  He is not the guy and we will have a similar to worse season next year.

 
13 pt lead and we couldn't find a knock out punch. We should have blown the game wide open instead of letting them back in it.

Smart will spend next year on the hot seat. This isn't good enough, despite whats happened this season.

Not good enough for him to keep his job next season, but too much money owed on a long contract as you said awhile back SHA.  Kate doesn't like this.

 
I see we found a way blow another double digit lead. I didn’t get to watch the game but when I saw the halftime score I was optimistic. I should have known better. So ready for Shaka to be gone.

Be thankful you didn't watch.  I can't wait until we can have some discussions on this board about a successful big three sport at Texas.  Someday?  Please!

 
Shaka cost us a win again. 

Why play zone 16 mins is second half, they killed us. 

8 OT games this year, 7 of which we were up and choked bc we can't be coached up. 3 seconds left and we can't inbound a ball bc nobody knows to go to the ball. 

So F'ing frustrating to blow it again.

Shaka will be back be he doesn't deserve it

Zone allowed all of those threes to be taken.  

 
Anyone know if Smart "earned" a bonus for making the tourney?  If so he needs to donate that to a decent charity, or to another coach who can teach FT shooting and/or offense.

Bamba's 4th foul against both Duke and today were total crap and not having him in OT was a killer in both games. Dylan has to just feel awful. Just make 50% of your free throws dude and it's game over. 

Ever since we signed that ESPN contract, I feel like we've been cursed in all 3 mens sports. Just gets old. 

 
Anyone hear anything about Smart to Louisville? I’ve heard it from more than one person.

I find it ammusing that his name is linked with any jobs.  The ridiculous thought that the Houston rockets were trying to hire him a few years ago led to a contract extension by Patterson for no reason.

 
I dont watch MBB religiously at all but I've seen more than two games where foul trouble in OT games has cost us...no discipline...bamba better clean that up at the next level cuz it's worse there...I give their performance all year 4 thumbs down!!
