UT @ UNC Hoops

[joeywa]

On ESPN2 right now.

Really like what I'm seeing so far out of the team. Lots of hustle and aggressiveness on the offensive side of the ball.

 

[Chitownhorn]

1st real test of the season. It'll be interesting to see how they hold up.

 

[joeywa]

Solid first half play so far. Up by 8 with under 6 to go.

Love the 16-20 FT, might be the most important stat of the first half. They will need those same numbers in the 2nd half.

 

[joeywa]

Sweet move by Croaker. Unfortunately he got called for the charge. Unbelievable body control in mid air. Wow.

 

[Chitownhorn]

If Texas isn't careful they won't have any players left on the floor at the end of the game.

 

[bbdude]

We need to make our free throws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[joeywa]

Hahaha. We'll be fine. The calls have definitely become more ticky tack in this half compared to the 1st half.

 

[Chitownhorn]

Hahaha. We'll be fine. The calls have definitely become more ticky tack in this half compared to the 1st half.

neither team an get in any type of flow with the way this half is being reffed. Very hard to watch

 

[alonghorn72]

Color me impressed.

 

[joeywa]

Color me impressed.

Yep; did not think we'd be up by 7 with under 8 to play, in Chapel Hill, with this young team, against a very solid UNC team.

 

[Chitownhorn]

Clank clank...arghhhhhhhh

 

[drgilbert]

Both teams suck at free throws

 

[joeywa]

How did McAdoo not get his 5th on that last Horns' possession?

 

[Chitownhorn]

Free throws and the lack of outside shooting will trouble Texas all year.

 

[joeywa]

Without Holmes at 100%, that is a significant blow to outside shooting

 

[bbdude]

Felix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[joeywa]

Felix with the dinero ball.
