Wow, is it just me or does Bill Walton sound like he is ready to defect to China? He just wet himself talking up China and this game!

 

[Aaron Carrara]

He brought up Kerwin Roach 45 seconds in.  I think he is a tad excited.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Sloppy play by both teams thus far.  Opening game jitters, no doubt.

 

[MikeV73]

Bad basketball thus far. Are we running an offense or just running?

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas defense needs to contest shots.  Washington making the last few drives look too easy.

 

[MikeV73]

Once again, how much is the Chinese govt paying Bill Walton?

 

[TeamMayhall]

First Dennis Rodman and N. Korea. Now Bill Walton and China.....Walton needs to just stay there...lol

 

[MikeV73]

Our big guys are fouling machines. Lots of standing around on offense...and defense with that last play.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas struggling to hit shots.  

 

[MikeV73]

These guys look like they haven't played together before... Of course some of them haven't in game action. Dissappointing so far after watching the exhibition game last week.

Sasquatch sighting SHA.

Im watching a Longhorns basketball game but Bill Walton sounds like he's narrating a documentary about China. It's kind of humorous

 

[MikeV73]

Too much one on one play by our guards.

I can say that I did not know the entire country of China has only 1 time zone...

Thanks Bill

Washington is doing a good job not letting them push the floor

I wish Walton would just shut up.  Annoying.
