FINAL:  TEXAS 68, #22 TEXAS TECH 58

Texas is still alive folks.  Big win for Shaka and the Program.

Well, Shaka wins again.  Good for the kids, happy for them.  Funny how an infusion of bench players seems to have made the difference.  Hungrier?  Working harder?  Effort?  Hopefully shows the other players how to approach games better.

 

[MikeV73]

Outscored tech 38-21 second half.  Impressive stat line on paper (didn’t watch the game)

 

[TexCoyote]

Shaka is coming back. I think he should now. The results haven’t always been there but he works extremely hard and the kids love him, CDC loves him. I just don’t see CDC paying 40-50 million and maybe more  to bring someone else in that’s not going to be a guarantee either. Shaka deserves credit these last 4 games. I hope they can keep it up

Getting hot at the right time!

I think it's chemistry. This group seems to play together better. I also keep hearing about this "Junkyard Brock" kid.

I guess I'll watch the game vs 0u.

Don’t watch. Nobody watching has been working.

Lunardi has Texas squarely on the bubble. He has them as the 5th team out right now. A win against bubble OU will really help.

This is typical of Shaka though. To start to give you hope and then let it come crashing down...

Hit the nail on the head here.  Story of most games:  early lead, piss away the lead towards halftime, blown out in the second half.  Maybe things have changed here at the end of the season......burnt orange colored glasses now in place?

Disagree.  Based on attendance, nobody has been watching for 2 1/2 years.

Well I may start watching again...  I watched the last 5 minutes on my phone. I only enjoyed 0.4 seconds of game time.  But I really enjoyed them.
 

They sure are playing hard. I didn’t even recognize the team.
