*****Texas vs. Tennessee State Game Thread*****

I haven’t seen this many empty seats on a regular basis since the Bob Wetlich era. 

George Muller, that guy was awesome back in the day.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

I'm trying to figure out how this team wins more than 5 games in the Big 12? Right now they are awful......

 

[MikeV73]

Bamba is horrible on defense tonight.  

 

[MikeV73]

Lots of havoc induced stupid fouls with the press thus far.  

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Roach hits back to back 3’s to give Texas the lead. 21-19 Texas

 

[drgilbert]

We suck. Shaka needs to coach up our guys. Our offense so far is terrible 

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Roach hitting back to back 3’s and then air balling a free throw basically sums up the game for Texas so far.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas is 2-13 from the 3-point range.  

 

[MikeV73]

Roach can swish threes but air balls the FT.  Frustrating.  I used to take a slight jumpshots with free throws to have more rhythm.  Never see anyone do that but worked for me...at least during my kick ass middle school hoops run.  How come Shaq never tried this?

Wonder if the new AD is taking this in live?  

The product and atmosphere has got to be alarming. 

 

[MikeV73]

No reason for Dylan to be launching threes.  How about camping out in the low post where you have scored all of your points this evening.

 

[drgilbert]

Can we make taking 3’s illegal if you’re a Longhorn. This is freakin unacceptable and this type of play will get Shaka fired. I am slowly losing patience with his coaching skills 

 

[drgilbert]

Why is it they can post up and draw fouls but we won’t even try

 

[MikeV73]

Why is it they can post up and draw fouls but we won’t even try

We are too busy missing wide open threes.  Yes, starting to question the coaching.

 

[MikeV73]

Also time to burn and bury these crappy uniforms...traditionally over the years we suck in the alternative unis.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas has had this problem for years. Shaka loves athletes and guys who can jump out of the gym, but that is why Texas never has reliable scorers. Need to have some guys who can shoot the ball on a consistent basis. Athleticism only takes you so far.

 

[83Dee]

Commentator “there’s no pixie dust for improving your shooting.”

I disagree, the pixie dust is to recruit players who can shoot.  We have a recruiting philosophy problem at Texas - shooters beat athletes in NCAA basketball 2017. 

 

[drgilbert]

You would think after our horrible outside shooting Shaka would make adjustments. Surely he has a plan for our piss poor shooting. I know he is one and done but Mo ain’t ready for the pros 

 

[MikeV73]

Yes, Bamba sure doesn't look like a lottery pick.  That freshman big guy from Duke on the other hand was the real deal.

 

[MikeV73]

Tenn tech plays disciplined offense, works the post.
