Must hit the free throws and we're sucking at 3's

 

[drgilbert]

Got our ass kicked. Fire Shaka

 

[TB14]

59-44 Baylor. Didn’t watch at all to know how it happened. 

 

[Baron]

The Shit Show continues. Less than 35% shooting. Less than 19% from 3 point range. Less than 34% from the stripe. Out-rebounded 49-36. "Nuff said. Fire Shaka NOW!

 

[drgilbert]

Just another Shakashitshow

Does that need a hashtag? Like #Faggy or #Ratbastards? ?

If I were a rich man I would have bought him out two years ago. He is a fraud.

Is it Baseball season yet?

Nothing I can add to this.

The good news is Texas held Baylor to 59 pts, the bad news is they only scored 44 which is terrible. 

I like Smart as a person but if they keep playing like this, his days at Texas will be short.

DVR’ed the game and tried to watch it last night. It’s the same story different year. As Tejas said, Shaka seems to be a great guy but it’s not working here. 
I haven’t been this down on Horns basketball since the Weltlich days. Showed my age there a bit 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

I will never understand why Shaka refuses to run the offense/defense that made him an attractive hire.

 

[TB14]

Exactly. You’d think he would have caught on and try to change it up by now. Usually when they would press in years past while down 20, they’d have a lot of success.

Shaka is fortunate that Texas is not a basketball school and very few people even pay attention.  
 

if he coached football he would have been fired after year 2.

I still remember during his tenure buying 1 ticket to see 2 games, the men & women teams vs TCU. Even with that, the FEC was almost empty.

George Muller kicked ass...well, not really.

Have you seen some of the crowds at the Erwin Center lately?

I met Carlton Cooper in Commerce, TX a few years ago.  He’s certainly on the UT All-Vertical Jump Team.
