*****TCU vs. TEXAS Game Thread*****

[MikeV73]

This is earily like our last game's first half.  Let's hope we can show up for the second half.  Nice free throws by Bamba.

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas leads 43-33 at the half. One of the best offensive halves the Longhorns have had in a while. Coleman looks very comfortable.

[MikeV73]

Liking Sims.  Just think how good he can if he develops a post up game down low, mid range shot.

[joeywa]

Sims really stepping up his game. Really playing with some purpose tonight. 

[Jameson McCausland]

This is some of the best basketball Texas has played all season. Horns up 51-38

[joeywa]

Bamba playing under the offensive rim cleans the glass and gets the putback. Somebody needs to glue his shoes to the paint. That’s where he can shine. 

[MikeV73]

Tighter D on the three point line thus far...keep up the pressure!

Exactly, no more camping out at the top of the key please Bamba.  Let the other guys throw picks on the perimeter and get down low.

Here we go with the quick trigger in the second half again.  We are leading....run an offense.

[Jameson McCausland]

If Fisher is able to stay on the court for TCU, the Horned Frogs will stay in this game. And as I type this...he hits a 3. 54-48 Texas lead

[MikeV73]

Dylan forcing way too much over the last few weeks.  He needs to be coached to play a role not to force the game.  You are not Lebron my friend.  Good lead slipping away...again.

[MikeV73]

Stop the ball!  Easy

layups are not cool.

[Jameson McCausland]

Beautiful pass from Young to Dylan O. Young, Febres, Coleman and Davis have all looked good tonight.

[MikeV73]

Another chucked three there...need to learn how to play with a lead.

[Jameson McCausland]

Davis has a bad habit of forcing a 3 the possession after he has made one

[MikeV73]

Again...air balled another three.  Shaka needs a TO to get these guys calmed down.  

[drgilbert]

We’re getting good at shooting air balls 

[MikeV73]

WTF?  Again with the threes.  Ridiculous how well teams shoot threes vs us.

[drgilbert]

Our offense has become a desert, it’s called a turnover. 

[Jameson McCausland]

For as well as the guards have looked, Dylan O has struggled. No need to force the ball down the court when facing the press.

[MikeV73]

Dylan bailed out on the drive.

[MikeV73]

No foul there...BS

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas leads 63-59 with 8:30 remaining

[Jameson McCausland]

Texas is starting to settle too muchon offense. The 2-3 zone has given them problems this year. The movement seems to disappear and there are a lot of wasted dribbles.

[MikeV73]

Second half woes yet again.  Shaka not preparing or coaching these guys up IMO.  Get the big lead...lose the lead....lose the game...repeat.  We don't seem to have an offensive identity other than passing around the front court, winding down the clock, launching a three.  Seems like we should have a scheme to run.
