Intro time....about 5 minutes until tip.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Ibeh is starting.

 

[Mike Garland]

No one wants to make a shot.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Texas opens in man defense. It'll be interesting to see how long Barnes goes without the zone tonight.

 

[drgilbert]

We don't have an inside game.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Felix made that three from San Marcos.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Bad shooting by both teams so far, early on.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Defense is seriously lacking too.  OU is getting wide open jumpers.

 

[MikeV73]

Team playing sloppy over last few games. Where is the inside post up game we have talked about? We are settling for jump shots instead of

Running the offense that should give us the advantage

 

[Matt Cotcher]

OU doing a nice job of staying patient on offense and moving the ball.

 

[MikeV73]

Defense is seriously lacking too. OU is getting wide open jumpers.

Agree, defense giving open threes like last year. Looking very overrated this season.

 

[drgilbert]

Our ability to score out of our half court offense is non existent

 

[utisdabomb12]

Not a pretty start for Texas. 

 

[tejasrulz]

Wow, Texas is playing uglier than some blind dates I've been set up with!

 

[MikeV73]

Does Turner have any dribble and drive moves or am I equating him to Durant too much? Seems like he could take some of these clowns off the dribble from his spot at the top of the key. I think he needs to start being more selfish and try and take over some of these games. That is my perspective as official coach sitting on my ass in my TV room.

 

[utisdabomb12]

We are about to get blown out, not ready to play at all. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Swoopes suit out?

 

[utisdabomb12]

Just get this under 10 by the half and it's a win for Texas for how we've played so far.
