Texas vs. Colorado

PSA: game tips off at 2:30 on ESPNU. Let's hope the good guys can rebound from last night's loss.

This makes the ejection call on Banks even worse:

Colorado leads Texas 30-20, 3:13 left in the 1st half.

At least Allen looks better today and fewer offensive possessions run through Shaq (thank God). Davis' struggles continue. On the season, he's now 15 for 47 from the field, including 5 for 26 on 3's.

Another fun stat for the game: 1 assist and 7 turnovers. Really wish a certain PG was still around...

Colorado leads 41-33, 16:35 left in the second half.

 

[longhorn_mig]

We're being outrebounded 34-22, and more specifically, 16-5 on the offensive boards.

We're being out rebounded 34-22, and more specifically, 16-5 on the offensive boards.

That's the main reason we're losing. That and everyone not named Allen can't hit a basket.

52-42 Colorado, 7:42 left in the game.

Doris needs to put a sock in it regarding our football coaching situation.

OK, I admit I'm doing multiple things while watching this game but did she say Texas shouldn't fire Strong just because he is black? Or something to that effect?

Yes.  After she said Texas just doesn't think that his wins were good enough and she thinks it is wrong and he should get another year.  Said that it's a shame that it took until 2013 for Texas to hire its first African American head coach.  It was ridiculous. This isn't her avenue for preaching; shut the heck up and go to Twitter if you want to offer personal opinions on something that doesn't pertain to the job you are doing, in this case that would be a hoops game. 

 

[tejasrulz]

It's not his wins, it's his losses. Would she be saying the exact same thing if he was white? PC world gone mad.

Well, that was not fun.

FG: 36.8%

3PT: 17.6%

Outrebounded 43-32, 18-12 on offensive boards

3 assists...TOTAL, 12 turnovers

 

[tejasrulz]

Back to the basketball game, rebounds and 3's did Texas in. FT shooting improved dramatically so that's a positive.

 

[longhorn_mig]

Eric Davis now 17 of 54 from the field, 6 of 30 on 3's.

Our non-freshmen players shot 13 of 44 from the field; freshmen shot 8 of 13.

 

[longhorn_mig]

I still say you have to move Jones to the starting lineup and let him run point.

Looks like we had a productive trip to Brooklyn  :wacko:

We're not a very good basketball team right now.
