******Texas Vs. Tech Game Thread*********

[Chris Flanagan]

10 minutes to tip.

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Texas has clinched at least the 3rd seed in the Big 12 tournament. If Longhorns win and OU loses tonight to TCU, they get the 2nd. So unofficially, they are the 3rd seed.

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Okay, so officially NOW the Longhorns will get the 3 seed. IF they lose to Tech, they have the tiebreaker over ISU because of the victory against KU at the Drum.

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Texas leads by 2 over Tech at the half. Texas isn't playing it's best basketball on the road (stop me if you heard that before).

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Okay so since I am talking to myself, here is my thoughts on the Big 12 tournament since I have a little time.

Projected Seeding

1. Kansas

2. OU

3. Texas

4. Iowa State

5. Kansas State

6. West Virginia

7. Baylor

8. Ok State

9. Tech

10 TCU.

Texas will likely play West Virginia next Thursday. (Barring some miracle that TCU beats OU)

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Texas should be pulling away by now.

Texas should be pulling away by now.

Prepare for a scrappy finish in this one. Looks like Tech is going to claw until the very end.

Felix burned twice in his rotation on defense. Texas has to stop playing him so many minutes. Both those threes at the end of the game were his fault for not rotating in time.

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Well. I spoke way too soon. The 3 pointer has come alive for Tech.

So what's the Mega Millions numbers next week?

 

[hoskins5]

Those two threes by tech ended things rather anticlimactically.

 

[bbdude]

Texas had trouble making buckets in the last 6 minutes as well. Like Chris mentioned earlier they will take the 3 seed headed into the Big 12 Tournament next week.

 

[Chris Flanagan]

Tech wins 59-53. Longhorns finish the regular season at 22-9 (11-7 Big 12). Still an outstanding season compared to last season.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Missed free throws were killer too. Hard to get mad at a team most didn't expect to make the tournament.

well I do not know what to say...reminds we of the last 2 years and I just hate to be saying this.

The guard play is just lousy. If it continues like this we won't last long in the tournament.
