Texas vs West Virginia

[utisdabomb12]

Texas down 23-10 early. Not good. We aren't going to win these games on the road, gonna have to hold home court. 

Barnes is hard headed. He won't get out of the zone so of course another team is hitting 3s on us. Turnovers killing us again too. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

They're shooting well enough, they just can't possess it long enough to get a shot off.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Ibeh is tough to figure out...how can someone look so natural and fluid on defense/rebound, yet stiff and unathletic on offense.

Very odd.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

How do you call Flagrant 2 on Holmes for what was clearly retaliation? I understand that he was wrong to throw the elbow, but that's only half the story. The video was clear.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

12 Texas turnovers led to 20 WVU points.

 

[utisdabomb12]

36-25 WV at the half. 

I might be getting to the point where tanking might be the best thing so Barnes is fired. Unfortunately if we hold home court we will make the tournament.

Holmes was stupid. That was flagrant. Texas press offense sucks dung. Push the damn ball up the floor.!!!! When they did a few times they scored. When they dribble around and allow the defense to square up on them and double them, they turn it over...IDIOTS !!!!!

He should have been called for the flagrant 2 but the WV player should have also been called for a foul or technical.

This.

F2 for elbow to the face in a non-basketball move.  Odd that the WV player got nada.

Texas playing a little bit better here in the 2nd half. Cut the lead to 4. Looking better without Holmes, not really surprised to be honest.

Holland's jumper around 14:30 cracked me up. I haven't seen a miss that bad since I played pickup ball.

If Texas manages a win and sweeps WVU this year, Huggins might have a stroke.

I don't understand Holland sometimes on offense. He won't shoot wide open jumpers but will shoot contested shots like that. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Ball game. Barnes refuses to get out of the zone. Every team hits 3s against us because he refuses to go man. 

Gonna have to hold home court against Baylor and K-State.

We are actually a bad matchup for them

Should sweep them

Barnes is hard headed, he absolutely refuses to get out of the zone. Our strength is our depth and length at the rim. We should be playing aggressive and forcing teams to drive to the rim. Instead we just allow teams to shoot 3s the entire game.
