I was excited but looks like we'll fall apart as usual.

Was actually a fun game to watch. Just Terrible  start. UT is starting to play better ball though finally

I agree.  Just sux that they seem to always make a push but can't get over the hump.  Being short handed doesn't really help.  But with the breakout game Young had, hopefully he can build on it and this team can peak at the right time and make a serious tournament push.  A Sweet 16 berth would be HUGE for this squad...

Last night I watched the Jacob Young I've been waiting for. If we get into the tourney, we will be a headache for whoever we play.

Would be huge for Shaka. Hell im just hoping for a first round win to be honest. The big 12 in general has several teams that could win on any given night. Just never know which team will show up.
