Texas leading #10 Texas Tech on the road
<4 minutes to go. Would make Texas win much more impressive. They are already top 40 in RPI. Bamba looking sweet in 2nd half. Tune in if you are an obsessed UM bball fan...
UPDATE: Texas Tech won on a last second shot @ the end of OT... Great game, disappointing outcome.
Go blue on Saturday vs. Minnesota!

Thought I was the only one.. Would be great for RPI if the Longhorns pull this off.

the lonely life of absurd fans.

What could have been... He is an awesome player and a really smart kid. I wish him the best.

that Beilein might be able to figure something out for him
February 1st, 2018 at 9:10 AM ^
He'd work the way Teske does, except much better at defense.
January 31st, 2018 at 11:15 PM ^
Ugh, such a bad foul at 3 point line
January 31st, 2018 at 11:15 PM ^
January 31st, 2018 at 11:18 PM ^
but it was also a terrible call at the end against Bamba.
EDIT: Wow, dude just missed the gw FT, but Bamba and Coleman are fouled out. Would be a miracle for Texas to win now.

c'mon texas (not looking good with Bamba out)
January 31st, 2018 at 11:18 PM ^
Excited for multiple reasons. OT!!

Has anyone rescinded the grad transfer announcement before? I can think of nobody. Seems like it might be weird if it happens...

did when we played them. Coleman seems to be improving, Roach is a good scorer, even if he's complimentary (not a creator), Bamba is good for some easy alley-oops every game and Osetkowski is decent.
No doubt that defense is their bread and butter and is what wins them games, particularly their shotblocking.

Losing Andrew Jones was a huge loss for multiple reasons. Obviously his leukemia probably impacts the team in many ways, but strictly basketball speaking, he was their offensive playmaker and scorer. Without him, they are extremily limited offensively.

Would have been nice. It was a great game! Thanks to the faithful few for the camaraderie (except for person downvoting me?) Looking forward to Saturday vs. Minny. Go blue!

January 31st, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
weird to see how that works, huh? We don't seem to get it.
January 31st, 2018 at 11:31 PM ^
January 31st, 2018 at 11:33 PM ^
Texas got hit w/ some tough calls/no calls at the end. Bamba's 5th foul at the end of regulation looked like some pretttty good defense and Evans had a nice little push off on the buzzer beater.
Tough loss. That Evans kid from TTU can BALL, though.

they're barely beating bad teams. Stanford by 2, Utah by 1 at home. Oregon St. Oregon and Colorado were all close at home.
I like them to get upset early.

Even if they aren't Villanova or ranked #1, they still aren't a dark horse championship team. They were a top 3 team in the preseason and possibly have the most talent of any team and have who many people consider the #1 prospect, Deandre Ayton. They will be a very popular pick come tourney time, especially from ESPN folk who try to think they're super smart by not picking all four 1 seeds.

at the end of regulation (to get to the line to tie it) and in OT for the game winner.
Give him credit for taking advantage of home reffing, I guess. Very Jordanesque push off and step back jumper for the win.

I am new to the blog. This was my first forum topic. Sincere question for experienced posters:
Is there an automatic cost to posting new forum topics?
After posting this forum topic (my first time ever), I received 23 downvotes on my account over a 15 minute period (only 3 showed up in this forum). No biggie, just trying to understand. Thank you.

Seriously don’t sweat it. Some people just neg because. It was relevant and informative. Might want to wait til it’s over next time, many around here, including me, subscribe to the jinx theory.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:02 AM ^
Total agree on the jinx theory. Make sure the game is out of hand or over before posting this because now everyone will wake up and not be too happy. We have also had a ton of new accounts that have been trolls recently that comment nonstop or first in every thread to gain points.
February 1st, 2018 at 7:30 AM ^
Got it, I will tuck this away and avoid the jinx theory. Thank you.
February 1st, 2018 at 8:34 AM ^
I was wearing my burnt orange shirt and it was working fine until you posted.
Seroiusly, this is one of the stupidest things about this board. Your post let people know there was an interesting game they might want to watch. Instead, you get told to wait until it's over.
February 1st, 2018 at 11:25 AM ^
There are ways to call attention to a game without jinxing it.
February 1st, 2018 at 1:10 AM ^
yeah that math checks out

You jinxed them.
February 1st, 2018 at 8:18 AM ^
This post is similar to whoever posted before the Nebraska game talking about how high in the rankings we would climb.
February 1st, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
Damn you, Champeen.

Even though Texas lost, Michigan went from 36 at the start of the afternoon to 32 after all games were concluded. Texas improved from 38 to 36 despite losing to Texas Tech.
