Important game!  Need to stop the bleeding at 2 straight losses.

When does spring football begin??

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Horns certainly didn't help themselves today. We're in a funk.

WV beat KU pretty bad. I think part of our hype was based off that KU win by 25 or whatever. Turns out, KU just isn't good.

It's Baylor and then everybody else in the Big 12.

After baseball begins. ?

There are some times I wish Shaka would show more emotion when the refs make a call or no call.

 

[longhorn_mig]

Agreed, though he doesn't have to throw a tantrum like that. I think we've seen more emotion from Shaka this season, but the team could always use more.

#12 Texas hosts #13 W. Virginia Saturday at 2 pm

#15 Texas Tech visits #22 Kansas at 1pm Saturday.

Okie State against #2 Baylor has been postponed

K-State visits TCU at 4 p.m. Saturday

#9 OU visits Iowa State at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Not Big 12 related, but, #6 Houston just lost to Wichita State 68-63

Without fail, every time I watch Texas Hoops we blow a lead. Yesterday, it was 19 points - at home - to WVU. My apologies. I've just gotta tune 'em out until the NCAA Tourney. ?

IT apparently reporting that a coaching change is "more likely than not" at this time. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[longhorn_mig]

So, apparently there are two names being discussed. The first one is John Beilein. I know he's been a successful coach and there would be fans of this hire, but I'm a hard pass on this one.

The other name is more interesting: Royal Ivey. After playing in the NBA for 10 years, he's been an NBA assistant coach since 2014. He's well-regarded in coaching circles and was sought after before joining the Nets this season. Apparently the former UT players are very vocal for his hire. Also, he's a Longhorn and bleeds the burnt orange. Personally, I'm all in on hiring ivey. I really hope it happens.

I think if there's a coaching change, then hire Beard away from Texas Tech and call it a day...

I’ve read that he has a huge buy out.

Well that sucks

 

[longhorn_mig]

Yeah, unless some BMDs start caring and open their checkbooks, Beard isn't happening. Even then, they'd have to deal with a bidding war led by some oil and gas brothers from West Texas.

3 road games in 6 days. Wow...thanks Big 12.
