I'd love to win this one, if only to deny them the outright title a few more days.

I'm so sick of KU winning conference titles. lol

Texas will need a big game from Sims tonight

Forgot this game was on but I see the Horns lost 80-70. Guess I'll have to hope it's replayed on the LHN.

Looking at the bright side, losing by 10 at Kansas w/o Mo Bamba isn't that bad.

Gutsy effort against a team clearly better than us at full strength.  

Ive been pretty negative about Texas basketball for about two years now; so in an effort to turn over a new leaf, here are some positives:

Roach has developed into a really nice player.  If he could somehow add a real shooting threat, I honestly think he could play at the next level.  

Young adds speed and athleticism.  When he’s in the game the team has a different look to it (a good thing).  If he could only shoot....

Simms has tremendous potential and will step right in for Bomba next year without the degree of drop off I was expecting.  If he could only shoot.

Agree about Simms' potential, he appears to have grown every game this year. Funny you state "If he could only shoot". Do you know he has the highest FG% of the team shooting .592%? Now if you meant FTs, definitely agree there since he is the worst on the team at .400%.

Someone who really needs to step up is Febres. He was supposed to be our outside threat and he has been underachieving in his role.

Even though it was a loss, I was really proud of the team for fighting until the end. Considering how undermanned we were, this one could've been ugly. I am and will always be a Jacob Young defender, so I was glad to see him have another solid game. Here's to hoping Mo can play Saturday.

We recruited Young as a shooter. I hope it shows up at some point. But yeah, he's looking better with each game.

Roach has some Royal Ivey in him. He knows no fear.

Simms has just got to be more assertive under the rim. KU just had their way with us in the paint – something that would have never happened with Bamba. Simms needs some mean streak, ditch some of that finess.
