Shaka Smart? Really? Guess it was Tx that was holding him back.

Or the schedule.

America is a wonderful place full of forgiveness and opportunities. We know this because Bruce Pearl's name is on this list.

That guy is tailed by the NCAA everywhere he goes. lol

A lot of classlessness, from both sides, in this video. Reading the comments on the twit page, it appears the coaches started this.

Tough loss at home to Tech, 60-55. The turning point of the game was late in the 1st half when Texas had a 6pt and went cold from the floor while Tech went on a 6-0 run to tie it. From there, Tech took control and withstood a late run by Texas that made things interesting.

Yeah, that started it. One of the coaches on the losing team said something to one of the players on the other team and it just exploded.

He should be fired.

As I type, I'm still trying to figure out what Marcus Carr was doing out there. smh

Overall, a good effort. Just picked the wrong time to go cold.

Tough outing. Cold shooting  for over 9 minutes from the end of the 1st half to through the start of the 2nd half.

Need to get wins  both Tuesday with TCU at home and at WV on Saturday this week.  Both are winnable, but need better execution on the offensive  end and the defensive end as well.  

The biggest hurt that I see is Mitchell big body on the inside. Brock is trying,  but he isn't Mitchell. Not that Mitchell helped defensively,  but in rebounding and somewhat offensively. 

Hope Mitchell figures  everything out personally.

He's the best PG on the team yet he had a very bad game yesterday. The few minutes Askew was on the court he was overmatched by Tech's D. Kid looked overwhelmed and lost.

He gone. The Athletic Director and the President of Michigan have already called their counter parts at Wisconsin to apologize.

Anyone really think this is more than a 1 and done tournament. They have failed outside of kansas at beating anybody that mattered when it mattered. 

On a worrisome not. Is tech going to become bailor part duex for UT during our remainder of the XII days. The box score doesn't indicate how bad this game was. It was headed for another tech route ( ala bailor games.)

Way to be an example for " young men". Certainty hope he gone.

And arrested? Technically, thats assault.

If you're saying both programs are highly competitive. I agree. Tech is competitive and we liked the way they did it, so we hired their head coach. And we hung 70 on their football team.

Baylor has been competitive in basketball and football. IMO, they'll be a tougher game than OU this year.

He won't be fired. Suspended for several games maybe even the rest of the season. The Wisconsin coach is to blame for the escalation of the situation, but Howard was completely wrong. He'll be retained. He just made recruiting a lot harder on himself.

Bummer to lose that game, but honestly, I didn't expect to win it.

Just finish 2-2 and let's see what kind of bracket we get.

The Wisconsin AD is stating this is on all Howard and according to the below article, he has done similar things in the past. But Michigan is pretty woke so they may keep him.

How was the Wisconsin coach to blame?  He called a timeout because Michigan was in a full court press when the game was decided.  Michigan still had their starters in the game, Wisconsin had their reserves in the game.  Michigan presses slaps the ball out of bounds with 4 seconds to get over the line.  The Wisconsin coach called timeout to reset the 10 second clock.  Juwan is 100% to blame; you can't blame the Wisconsin coach for calling timeout if you're still pressing.  If you stop pressing the point guard dribbles the ball until time expires.  

If you're still in the full court press at that point of the game, you put your big boys on, shut up and walk off the court.  Cause its all on you.
