Basketball News/Recruiting Thread

I am curious about how CDC might be able to change this. ADs in the past seemed more focused on football only but CDC does not seem content with any sport on campus being anything other than elite. Basketball was well on its way with Coach Beard until his off the court issues derailed that.

I think CDC will do what is necessary to get basketball to the top and if RT continues to flounder, CDC will look to hire the best coach he can to win championships at Texas.

I figure RT gets one more year. That's not to my liking but CDC will do the honorable thing.

If we don't make the NCAA Tournament and Donovan is interested, it's a no-brainer. But I'd first see if Jay Wright is interested (I know he's a pipe dream). Might as well try.

As Deloss Dodds said "We are the Jones's"

Watching this offense, I'm thinking Shaka is coaching this team.

We haven’t had a good offense or offensive coach in a very very long time .

Last years offense was so much better. It attacked the rim. This year I see a lot of weaving back and forth outside of the 3 pt. line. Just like Shaka's offense.

I heard CDC say, in an interview… Every coach gets an opportunity at a “reset.” Shuffle the coaching staff, change direction, etc…. I assume Terry will be afforded this opportunity, no matter how poorly this team plays.

What a freaking game. What a freaking win.

Nice to see a tough finish from the Horns. Good win against a top 10 team. Hopefully this is the turning point for them.

 

[TXFF]

BTW, that was a helluva hanging layup to avoid the block by Hunter for the game winner. Perfect execution on the final play.

 

[Austin Horn]

Nice win but we need to see momentum from this.

 

[Oldmanastro]

How is Texas a -3.5 favorite over Baylor today? Surely that isn’t correct.

I believe the final line was-2.5…..and Baylor covered. Man, what did Vegas know?

I watched the game at a bar with a buddy of mine (hey, it was 12 o'clock somewhere!), what a great win for the Horns!

Watching Hunter's shot in slow-mo and that shows you how difficult of a shot that was. Big time win!

Agreed! I give Weaver the game ball for his hustle play just prior to this.

Hunter played fantastic in the first half… and about as bad as you’ll ever see in the second… he air balled a three pointer AND a free throw for goodness sakes! Hats off to him for not getting his head down and pulling off that terrific game winning shot!

At this point I would say be aware of fools gold.

We won. We’re just enjoying that.

 

[Baron]

We won.

We did. Hook'em. Will we win one of the next five games? @16, @20, home to #5, @19 and home to #24?

At minimum one of the home games and one of the road games

 

[Baron]

At minimum one of the home games and one of the road games

That's still 2-3. Gotta win 75% after that and a decent end result in the Big 12 tournament. Or its NIT Shaka bound.
