Late Night Hoops: Texas v. Stanford Game Thread

[Chris Flanagan]

Early 2-0 lead for the Longhorns.

 

[Chris Flanagan]

First Media TO: Texas 4 Stanford 0. 

Javan Felix has 2 fouls already. Likely out for the rest of the 1st half. See a heavy dose of Kerwin Roach for the rest of the half. 

 

[TeamMayhall]

I like the aggressive play

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Texas up 16-7. They are playing very well. A brand new team since beating UNC.

I need to see a birth certificate for Shaquille Cleare...Dude looks 40..lol

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Under 8 TO: Texas up 26-19. Isaiah Taylor with 13 points already. He is on fire tonight. Eric Davis had a nice 3 point shot as well.

Shh... Don't tell the NCAA!

Isaiah Taylor is quickness personified.

 

[BudreauReye]

He is also having a pretty good game so far.

 

[TeamMayhall]

The ball movement is looking impressive

 

[BudreauReye]

We are not handling the zone very well ... we are getting sloppy ... we need to get to the half with a lead.

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Stanford's 3 point shooting is keeping them in the game. 

 

[BudreauReye]

Free throws will be the death of us.

 

[BudreauReye]

16 points for Isaiah Taylor. with one minute to go till the half.

 

[BudreauReye]

If Tevin Mack comes on as the season progresses, we are going to be pretty salty.  What we have been missing for years is good play from a real small forward.

 

[BudreauReye]

Isaiah has 16 points and five assists at the half ... this is a homecoming game for him.  He grew up about 30 miles from the Stanford campus.

 

[BudreauReye]

Stanford's 3 point shooting is keeping them in the game. 

Also made free throws ...

1st half thoughts: 

This is Isaiah Taylor's team. Without him, the Longhorns are not the same. 16 points at the half tells you all you need to know. His presence on the floor opens up everyone else. A very guard heavy half for the Longhorns with 35 of the team's 41 points. Javan Felix has 0 points but considering he picked up 2 fouls before the first media timeout suggests that was the issue. If the Longhorns keep up the pressure, they will get a huge road win.
