I’d come out of halftime with that same 4-guard lineup that we ended the 1st half with. Need to find some offense.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Up by three, 37-34

Marcus Carr has got to stop turning the ball over

 

[Sirhornsalot]

I stopped counting turnovers at 20. We simply have to do better.

Texas pulls out the win, 56-51.

Next up, TCU at Gallagher-Iba. If you want a preview, the Iowa State-TCU game followed the Texas game.

Next Saturday, Texas welcomes Rick Barnes and his #24 Tennessee Volunteers.

I’m going to be in the house against Texas Tech so we gonna win that one ?????

As soon as you stopped counting, the TO's ended so quit counting them! ?

I agree though, way too many TO's and some were really bad. I saw Beard get really mad a couple of times due to players not taking wide open shots. They tried to penetrate into crowded areas and yep, they would turn it over. Shooters can't hesitate, you do that and it likely doesn't end well.

TCU leading Iowa State 46-35 with 9 min left.

Ramey came up huge today. At least today, he was the best “PG” we had.

 

[david ficken]

So far, maybe the best basketball in Big 12 play by Texas tonight. Up by 20 at halftime at TCU.

I expected to see a letdown in the 2nd half. That hasn't materialized thankfully. We're still up by 20 with 6:55 to go

 

[david ficken]

A 23 point win on the road. What a breathe of fresh air for this team.  Now the hard grind begins on Saturday  with Tennessee.

 

[longhorn_mig]

Hope to see that same effort on the boards and defense on Saturday.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

By far the best complete game we've played so far.

Tennessee will be tough defensively. They can't shoot a lick but create offense with their defense, scoring in transition.

If we are hitting shots, we should beat Barnes & co.

I agree with you.  The effort tonight was great both individually and as a team.  Getting some easy baskets going forward will help as well.

Yes, the best complete game so far.

Tennessee's defense will be tough. Also, i will expect Barness to have his guys ready to play maybe this game than most other games.

That being said if we play the type of defense like tonight and get some early easy baskets to get up early will help on Saturday.  Plus any and all other games going forward.  I was hoping to see play like this in the early part of the conference play, but didn't see it.  Maybe having Allen bring the ball up and Carr at the off guard will help.  Carr turned the ball over 2-3 times tonight not the multiple times like in previous games.

I laughed when people were saying we were no better off now than when we have Shaka Smart.  It’s going to take Beard a little while but make no mistake…….we’re better off.  I think in time he can get us to Monday night.  
 

Coach Vic too. 
 

CDC knew what he was doing going out and getting these two guys.

Yea I chuckled too.

Big road win against a good team. Just look what TCU did to Iowa St in Ames. It was nice to see Jones break out of his 2 game slump. I also noticed @Sirhornsalotwasn't counting TOs and Texas had 1/2 of what they did the other night. ?

You also have to love the play and hustle by Cunningham.

Cunningham was an absolute beast last night. I think he is playing at a higher level over the last 2 games. If he continues to play like this, we will begin to move up in the rankings.

Great performance for sure. Yes last years team was better than this years but if we avoid a first round upset then we will be fine and no one will remember anything else. All about March.

I certainly disagree. Last year's team lost 7 games despite having 8 other games cancelled, including a probable loss to KU in the Big 12 tourney.

And lastly, . . and really this is all I need to say . . . that team lost to Abilene Christian in front of the whole world.

That team also had 7 ranked wins. Not sure why'd you say KU was a likely loss either. We had already beaten them twice. Without the close upset in the tourney, Everyone would say it was a great success. March is the only thing that matters
