Keep feeding Ridley.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Good start.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Yes, we have the good Felix tonight it looks like.

 

[NLeininger]

Felix Trevidad!!!

Yes, we have the good Felix tonight it looks like.

Let's wait on that, he's been known to just chuck shots up from 3 when he starts hitting a few.

As long as he's hitting a few I'm happy. He's going to jack even if he's missing.

1-3 Taylor fast break, kid has some skills.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Ridley needs to stop pump faking so much. Go to the guys chest and take the ball to the rack. Those pump fakes let more athletic players block his shot. I don't mind a pump fake every now and then, but not every post move.

 

[utisdabomb12]

I love Taylor's game.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Got to give Felix some credit. Doing a very good job on defense right now covering Heslip.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Felix 5 for 5 from three, wow.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Baylor in serious foul trouble, keep pounding the ball inside.

 

[utisdabomb12]

42-27 Texas at the half. Nice half for Ridley, Taylor and Felix.

 

[NLeininger]

Got to start hitting those FT's.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Got to start hitting those FT's.

Yep, if we hit a couple of those front ends on the one and ones it would be a 20 point game. First five minutes are critical in the second half. If Texas stays on the throttle the game might be over.

If Ridley develops that little mid range jumper like he hit at the end of the second half, he will have a career in the NBA IMO.

Yep. The only thing he lacks, or maybe he has it and hasn't shown it much, is a face up game out to 15-18'. His FT stroke is so much better that it wouldn't take much to get that type of game. If he can learn to hit in the high 30's on that shot, he will have a long career in the NBA.

Also needs to develop a left handed shot close to the rim.
