Need to double that 7 footer. He backs in there and he’s hard to stop. Need to get Brock to frustrate him

What a break to have a small lead at the halftime after shooting so horribly.

I thought you couldn't pitch a tent and camp out in the paint. That 7 footer sure is.

 

[TexCoyote]

They didn’t have a good plan for this 7 footer.

2 solid teams that play really good team defense.  We did a better job on getting a few fast breaking points.  Love to see the moody center having the fans and students show out for the game.

We didn't shoot that well from deep.  Onto Tuesday against Illinois.

 

[Johnny Depp]

Done ?It’s gonna be a fun year. 
UT 72-67

1st top 10 win at home since 2009!

They didn’t have a good plan for this 7 footer. 

Agree. Not certain what the game plan was against him. But it didn't work.

 

[TexCoyote]

Agree. Not certain what the game plan was against him. But it didn't work.

They changed it up and started dropping guys down to help and that worked a little better. They shot terrible and we didn’t shoot much better but Beard’s teams play such good defense. Good win 

 

[Sunkist]

Hook ‘em!

We got a good bball program, y’all!  At least it’s trending in the right way
