This season was bound to get interesting. Apparently it's time for it to do so.....

Texas shouldn't need Holmes to put away a team with 5 players and no PG.

1) glad we're at home 2) glad smart shoved that tech-tool and 3) hope like hell this is just a one-game deal with holmes.

Bingo. Plus, no need to risk our best player to injury. If Holmes isn't 100 percent he shouldn't play tonight. Not only do they not have a pg they really don't have a center either because of injury. It's literally a team of nothing but shooting guards and a couple PFs.

I think this is wrong, but it seems to be the conventional wisdom on HS.

Regardless of it's right or wrong, I'll take a healthy team come March over one victory in February. Even if we lose tonight it's the right move IMO. Holmes clearly isn't 100 percent and shouldn't be risking further damage.

I did not say play him! the medical staff and Holmes decide that. I said the notion that we will not need him because OSU is so weak now is wrong.

Well if the 1st half is any proof, ...

So...

I assume you're kidding???

Thankfully you were right, but personally, I think it's never a good idea to make assumptions about how any opponent is going to perform on any given night. And of course, hind site is always 20/20. But you deserve props for calling it right tonight. Congrats.

Well, if you guys had told me we'd make 11 3s....
