Rick Barnes and the Nagging Question
Back in March 2010, Rick Barnes stirred up Longhorn fans with this quote in ESPN The Magazine. When asked, "Do you feel pressure this year to not only go to the Final Four, but to win the national championship?", Barnes replied: "We would love to win a national championship, but we're not obsessed...
One for the Ducks
Rick Barnes and the Longhorns lost out in their bid for a one-year plug-in at power forward. Olu Ashaolu, a 6-7 All-WAC defensive player who has graduated from Louisiana Tech and has one more season of immediate eligibility, chose Oregon over Texas and San Diego State today. Ashaolu, another...
Cory Joseph Jumps: Another One Done in Austin
As the midnight deadline passed and Cory Joseph's name remained in the NBA draft, most college basketball fans had the same reaction: disappointment. Joseph was the last of the five starters from last season with a chance to return and Longhorn followers hoped he could team with fellow Canadian...
'That's what you're going with?'
Disturbing. Appalling. Unsettling. That pretty much sums up my decision to re-watch Sunday's game. Trips put a nice bow on it, except for the part about making me look at how open Gary Johnson would have been, had J'Covan Brown actually had on his point guard hat at the time. My only consolation...
Texas vs. Arizona and the Nation Post Mortem
The finality of the NCAA tournament is as painful as a kick in the Onions! Especially when the elimination game comes down to one possession. Unfortunately, because I’m a Texas fan, the manner in which the Horns were eliminated wasn’t all that surprising. In live game situations, it’s usually a...
Cory Joseph needs a rain out.
Bull Durham style. Regrettably, all of our basketball games are played indoors, although the plumbing in the Ferrell Center is pretty questionable. Perhaps there is hope for Saturday. We have waded through some excellent analysis of our current slide, thanks to the incomparable Kevin Berger, Bob in...
Texas vs. Colorado Post Mortem
In sports, the term perfect storm is often misused because these "storms" can often be avoided. There’s nothing perfect about something you can prevent. So when I hear talking heads carp about a barrage of tough shots, missed free throws, poor defense, tired legs and a perfect storm of various...
Texas vs. Nebraska Mr. Miyagi Preview
This here preview is going to be short but sweet for two reasons—Nebraska isn’t complicated and I’m playing Johnny Lawrence to my employer's Crane technique this week it seems. My attempts to sweep the leg thus far have been unsuccessful. But back to the topic of import--traveling to Nebraska’s...
Oklahoma State Post-Mortem/Down the Stretch Temperature Check
I’m not going to get into a microanalysis of this game because I think we all get it at this point. Texas’ formula for winning games against outmatched opponents is smothering defense, manufacturing offense by finding mismatches, and not giving away possessions on the glass. They don’t...
Texas vs. Oklahoma State Preview
We can haz number 1 basketball team now? –@Recruitocosm tweet after Kansas was blasted by KSU. Well you can if you can win out this week, Texas. But I’m not sure it will matter come seeding time. Win the Big 12 Conference regular season crown without dropping more than one game and Texas...
