david ficken Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 We win. 60-47. It wasn't pretty, but getting the win is good. Hopefully TCU and K-State beat each other up a little later. Sunkist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone knows anything publicly but I do wonder if Allen was held out to rest/heal from a minor injury. Would he have played if this was the NCAA tournament? I feel like yes. I doubt we see him the rest of the big 12 and I wonder if we do see less of the starters as well. Big Daddy Cane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWilk55 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 5 hours ago, 83Dee said: I'm going to throw something crazy out.... so crazy that it might just work. Here's my outside of the box idea... What if said player (or players) offended by the referencing of a Scripture - in light of their ethnicity, approached the coach - one on one, and explained why he found the comment offensive? Might this have been resolved? Might players and coach see eye to eye - and perhaps both learn from the incident? Maybe it still escalates to the AD's office.... but maybe not. My guess is players and coach come out of this closer than they were prior. In all fairness, maybe it did go down that way.... I just don't know. I actually think that DBut82 may have hit the nail on the head. This gave the AD a good reason to get rid of a coach whose program appears to be trending in the wrong direction. Cancel culture can be expedient in that way. The other issue that has been reported about Adams is that he accidentally spit on a player at some point - talking or yelling and some spit flew out of his mouth. The problem, he didn't apologize for this and instead reportedly said something along the lines of, "I can spit on you whenever I want". Not sure he sounds like the "lets meet and hash things out" type of coach. I do agree with what you say about this being a better approach overall. I get the sense that UT has quite a few of these types of coaches on staff currently. Sark and Coach Vic for example. 83Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on Allen, but are we a lock as the 2 seed for the NCAA tourney? If we are, let's manage the minutes of all the starters. I feel like we need 1 more win to secure the 2 seed. I haven't heard a definite answer on that from the talking heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to find something wrong with that message, then the discussion is over. Why do we keep using our own personal assumption about what he said? You're defeating a point you don't even know exists. More than half that team is at least half-white. I suppose being half-white, and the product of an obvious non-racist relationship, might be a good thing. But no, we simply MUST make them out to be offended. The coach CHOSE those players, I suppose because he's so damned racist. lol This subject is worthy of a quick and immediate death. The discussion does not seem to improve. Yeah, there are a ton of holes to poke in your reply, so let's just agree to disagree. At this point he's resigned and we're talking about tech, so not really worth the time.. Let's get on more W and lock up that #2 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskie1 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Need to shoot better tomorrow but I loved the defense and intensity. Turnovers will be big against either TCU or K-State. They will both kill you at the other end if you give away the ball. TCU also killed us on the boards last time. Should be a good one either way.

Sirhornsalot Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Looks like it will be TCU in our next game. We better plan to guard Myles and O'Bannon tight. TCU looked awful good tonight but part of that was how bad KSU was playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david ficken Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Glad to get the win, but man we have some WTF moments in games. If we can play with the effort and energy like we did last Saturday, we could have an interesting seeding especially if we win. For sure on the 2 seed line, but could we move to the 1 seed if Bama, Perdue, or Houston loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if we blow out Kansas and one of the other projected #1s gets blown out as well then things could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UT1983 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I, for once, would like to see us win the Big 12 tournament for a change. The potential for a higher seed would be nice as well. Who knows? This may just be the year Texas wins the whole shootin’ match. tejasrulz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Disu by picking up a cheap penalty when he already had 3 on him. As @Sirhornsalotstates above, against Kansas we have to play our best.
