I hope Colt doesn't get hurt this time.

This one may get ugly. Avery Johnson is a good coach. He will take full advantage of Texas' lack of offense and their injuries.

They shoot like they did vs Tenn St, it will be very ugly.

If they can contain Colin and we rebound, we’ll be fine

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Not surprised Bama is playing primarily a 2-3 zone after the way Texas has shot the ball the last few games.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Bama leads 15-13 at the under 12 timeout

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas leads 25-21 with 5:47 remaining in the half.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas is doing a better job offensively of moving the ball and trying to get Bamba looks down low 

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Bamba is having his best game in a while. Texas up 33-21

Yea, he was showed up last game, which probably embarrassed him and made him mad.

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas leads 35-28 at the half

Sloppy last minute of the game, poor interior defense.  Still up by 7 though!

This team is obviously a work in progress ... if Andrew Jones can come back strong as the Andrew Jones we saw before his injury, and the Horns we saw in the first half of this game make a consistent appearance ... well, we might have a chance at a decent season ...  of course, I do tend to be one of those infernal optometrists.  : )

 

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas leads 44-35. For a team that isn’t good at shooting the 3, Texas sure loves to shoot the 3

I'm so glad we went to different schools together.
