Thoughts on KSU Loss

Posted by Trips Right on February 1st, 2009 under Basketball

I’m glad I took a night’s sleep to mull this thing over, because I was irrationally angry last night. Hell I had to be cyber-restrained by Sailor Ripley and Scipio. Ironically they were watching the MMA Championship thing and they were the voices of reason. Let that sink in. The fact remains, however, that this Texas team still has serious identity issues that showed up in a big way in the first of half of the KSU contest. Twenty two points in one half of basketball? Against KSU? At Home? Seriously? It was so bad that I had to edit out some anger in the following post I made at halftime of the ballgame.


We can’t continue to ball screen for guys that can’t shoot the basketball. It’s just dumb. A waste of energy. All KSU has to do is come under the screen and it’s defended. The cost involved is precious seconds on the shot clock and zero threat on the weakside. It’s galactically stupid.

Our frontcourt continues to play tentative on the glass. Connor is playing like a walk on. This should be Dexter’s game from here on out. Connor shouldn’t see another minute of playing time today.

AJ Abrams has reverted back to channeling his Allen Iverson. Pass the ball and use the attention you draw from defenses to help your teammates. It’s infuriating.

Justin Mason needs to pretend he’s playing against Sig Ep’s at Gregory. His a$$hole is so puckered up that he can’t function. We need him. He can penetrate and finish against the Wildcats. He might be the only one in a Texas uniform that can do that.

It’s time to press. You have a deeper bench and an opponent that has a propensity to turn the ball over. Do it. Put Dexter at the back of your press and if he gets tired, put Hill or Chapman in. We need to do something to create a spark.

Damion James better hope scouts aren’t watching.

So what changed between this post and the second half? Simply put, we masked our offensive identity issues by doing one thing I mentioned above. We pressed. We turned the game into a “who’s got next” pickup game at Clark Field courts. We let our athletes be athletes and our ball players relax and play ball and we dropped 52 second half points on a team that had held us to 22 points just twenty short minutes before.

Defensively, we ran into a buzzsaw in the form of Denis Clemente who was perfect from deep going 6-6 and a perfect 12-12 from the foul line. KSU as a team shot a ridiculous 10-15 from beyond the arc, making all of their last 8 attempts from 3. That’s stupid. A shooting performance like that and all you can do is tip your cap and try to match them by creating more possessions via turnovers or rebounding. Well, since Texas was being outrebounded at halftime, Barnes’ only hope was to speed up the game with pressure and get some turnovers, which worked considering Texas was able to force overtime in a game they had no business being in, much less winning. That’s the good news we can build on. This team doesn’t quit, and certainly has athletes that can win with fullcourt pressure against solid, guard-centric teams. We’re deep, we have athletes, we have suspect guard play. What’s not to like about pressure to mask deficiencies? Hell, if Clemson and Mizzou can do it, why can’t we? Maybe we’re due for a new identity. On to the players…

AJ Abrams
The memory of three solid shot selection games in a row was definitely washed away by this stinker. Forcing bad shot after bad shot when you have players with mismatches in the frontcourt is selfish inanity. Damion James is going against Dominique Sutton and Gary Johnson is guarded by Darren Kent and AJ’s settling for contested catch and shoots. The two forced looks to start overtime without one interior player touching the basketball is effectively telling a guy like Gary Johnson, who happens to be 4-8 from the field with 13 foul shots, to taste your ass. And ultimately these “you can get them anytime in a shot clock” looks dug a hole that Texas couldn’t overcome. It would have been nice to at least probe for interior offense against a frontcourt riddled with players in foul trouble in OT. But AJ’s got to get his. He’s the answer. He’s got a sleeve and shit.

Damion James
Damion’s search party once again rescued him from the first half Bermuda Triangle. In the second half James really asserted himself offensively by doing what he does best, attacking the rim. He missed a couple of bunnies and potential “and 1’s” that would have made his 6-15 statline look much better. His 10 free throw attempts are very encouraging and indicative of his aggressiveness. DJ also competed aggressively in our press and his quickness and length showed itself harrassing KSU’s press offense. Rebounding wise, Texas really can’t afford James to disappear for a half. Credit James for turning it up a notch in the second half and being the glasseater he can be.

Connor Atchley
I don’t really have anything nice to say about the guy. Feeling sorry for him makes as much sense as feeling sorry for Ian Mooney or any player that has been on scholarship at the University of Texas. Not only is he in a horrid shooting slump, but he was outrebounded by Justin Mason, Varez Ward, and AJ Abrams. His inability to pull a crucial rebound on a free throw probably cost Texas the ballgame. Was he fouled? Sure. But that’s not an excuse given the way he failed to compete for the ball. Show some emotion or get off the floor.

Justin Mason
No one enjoyed the open floor created by the press any more than Justin Mason. You could tell JM wasn’t thinking out there and instead just playing basketball. Quietly, Mason had the best game he’s had in a good while with 12 points on 5-8 shooting coupled with 9 dimes. The press also showcased the junior’s defensive ability and Justin forced several turnovers that led to transition points. More importantly the press was a salve for Mason’s mental state. He looked like a player that had been uncuffed.

Gary Johnson
I absolutely love this guy. I am a Gary Johnson fan. I celebrate his entire catalog. For me, it doesn’t get any better than when he sings “When a Man Loves a Woman”. It’s a crying shame that he only got 8 attempts for the game. Had he been a focal point of the offense in the first half, he would have succeeded in fouling out KSU’s entire frontline. With just 8 attempts and some help from Damion, he was able to disqualify Kent, Sutton, and nearly Colon. Oh, and by the way, he’s the ideal pressing forward. Just a suggestion.

Dogus Balbay
It was a poor game for Doge but it’s not entirely his fault. Texas needs to ditch the high ball screen game with Balbay because it’s tantamount to going to center court and banging your head against the Hudspeth County section of the Texas map. It’s a waste of shot clock, it’s easy to defend, and it hurts my head. KSU simply went under the ball screen, the screener’s man whispered rap-metal lyrics into Balbay’s ear, and the weakside defenders took the opportunity to get into optimum ball-you-man help position. Balbay needs a floor spread with the minimum of 3 perimeter threats and an active interior that operates from the high post then lifting to the perimeter. Clogging up the middle of the floor with a screener that’s in a shooting slump, a guard that can’t shoot, and two defenders with nothing better to do than guard dribble penetration is insanity. Defensively, Balbay let Clemente get loose for open looks on two possessions in the first half and that likely landed Doge in Barnes’ dog house leading to a dearth of floor time for Balbay. Looking forward, Balbay would be a terrific cog in any pressing defense Barnes wanted to deploy. The open floor would likely be a boon to the young sophomore offensively. Is there a theme warning yet?

Varez Ward
If Gary Johnons isn’t the toughest SOB on this team then Varez is. The kid is unphased by anything you throw at him. Big foul shots, double digit deficits, or an unfamiliar press, it just doesn’t matter to the kid. He just brings it. Varez needs to learn to take care of the basketball, but his ability to create offense, nay willingness to create offense, fills a big void on this team. Defensively, he’s a big athlete willing to get after it and get in guys’ jocks. He’s Henry James’ wet dream.

Matt Hill
He’d be great at the back of a press. He’s smart, he’s willing to give up his body, and he brings energy. As soon as Texas fell behind he was a non-factor against KSU, but going forward he can help.

Clint Chapman
See Matt Hill.

Dexter Pittman
Bide your time, Dex. Help is on the way. I’d love to see you own the weakside block in some form of the DDM. Yesterday, Big Dex battled and gave the Horns all he could give with 8 points 6 boards in just 15 minutes.

Coaching
We’ve talked about the identity issues ad nauseam. The first half of the game is forgettable, so let’s forget it. Credit coach for making adjustments and going to a full court pressure look. It was the one thing that got Texas back in the ballgame. The unintended consequence was it showed how much better Texas personnel looked when they’re allowed to play in the open court. Hopefully Coach makes pressure a big part of the attack going forward. It’ll serve to cover a bunch of offensive warts while also playing to the team’s strengths of athleticism and depth. We have 10 athletic guys that are willing to get out and compete. Why not press?

    Before last night I thought FF was a possibility if all right pieces fell into place, but now I’ll be happy if we get past the first round.

    I think we stay with up tempo and keep Dex in there as much as possible, giving him breaks to catch his wind, using Atchley, Hill & Chapman to sub. Over the last couple of months he has been our most consistent scorer and we’re in serious need of consisent points. We should start every game going into the paint with Dex numerous times, then see what teams do. Either keep going to him if they go 1-1, or pass to cutters or perimeter if they go 2-1 on him. He’s proven that he now has the stamina and skill to provide solid offense and defense.

    Besides the fact that he’s proven he can score, the other reason to put more responsibility on him is to build for next year. I really believe Dex is close to being AA material and if we keep giving him minutes it will pay huge dividends next year.

    Trips, the definition of insanity keeps popping into my head when I watch them run the ball screen for no apparent reason. Right now, there is no reason to guard Atchley, Balbay or Mason on the perimeter.

    It’d be interesting to see what would happen if Texas took the initiative to press Missouri on Wednesday, the idea that pressing teams don’t like to be pressed.

    I don’t know if it’s because I want to see it, but I thought Pittman was keeping up with the flow much better yesterday. He’s a little behind, sure, but not so much that you think he’s slowing everyone down.

    Balbay’s other problem, beside getting caught on screens, is that he was going against a guy who was about as fast as he was. He couldn’t beat him off the dribble. That made him all but useless on the offensive end. I agree that he will be a big asset when they press.

    But as to this press thing, I’ve been waiting on it as a major tactic for 11 years, and Barnes never has done it. It’s like the press coach is named Godot.

    Bob, agree on Pittman. He looked like he was getting up and down okay.

    Great point on Clemente. He’s really a nice player that’s flying under the radar. I don’t think my scouting report was off on him though, he takes a ton of bad shots. A lot of them were falling.

    I think we’ll see pressure when we play ou.

    A horrible loss, and I my view of this team’s future is dimmed somewhat.

    Trips, another issue with AJ: when he drives the lane, he avoids contract. Result, a great free throw shooter who rarely gets to the line. He should be getting us 6-10 points a game from the line. Instead: OU: 3-4, Tech: 2-2, A&M: 3-4, Baylor: 2-3, and K State: 1-1. So 11 points from the line in 5 games. Clemente had 12 from the line yesterday.

    I agree on the press. I hope we see the whole game on Wednesday.

  7. Trips Right said:

    February 1st, 2009 at 11:51 am

    ATX, he does avoid contact, you’re exactly right. It’s not that he can’t get to the rim, he just doesn’t know how to draw contact.

  8. Bartoncreek said:

    February 1st, 2009 at 12:59 pm

    When you are 5-9, 140, you learn to avoid contact. It is one of the many reasons there are not many 5-9 shooting guards in college ball.

    Very frustrating game from a very disfunctional team. We win ugly and lose uglier.

    Dude plays three feet off Mase knowing he can’t shoot and still can’t keep him out of the paint. He could have had 20+ easy, if we just spread the floor and made him take it to the rim. It was there all day and he finally looked over at Barnes at some point in the 2nd half and Barnes just said screw the offense, take it to the rack. Result? 52 point half.

    What we have are some athletes. What we lack are basketball players. Let them be athletes. Run, press, drive. Sets be damned. Clear out and take it to the hole.

    If they zone, turn up the press. Play even faster, beat them down the court and let AJ launch and DJ and GJ work the soft spots. That is when we’d need Connor to get out of his funk if that is even possible at this point.

    I am fully committed to going Helter Skelter with our play. It seems kind of karmic for this group and somehow fitting. Will Barnes be able to pull the trigger? I doubt it, but he is not stupid so there is hope.

    I wrote this team off awhile back. They are torture to watch, so aside from the ISU game I went to I haven’t watched an entire game since . . . UCLA I think. I just listen on the radio, because Craig Way doesn’t tell you just how badly we brick the shot, just that we do. It’s easier that way.

    None of the parts on this team fit together, and the entire squad has a mental block about shooting. It’s a virus at this point.

    but my level of frustration is too high to expect much of anything from these guys. they play hard and fight. i love Ricky but it shows this hasnt been his finest year on the 40 acres.
    now i just hope to be surprised.

    The question to you Trips is, where do you think our season ends?

  16. Trips Right said:

    February 1st, 2009 at 9:37 pm

    big, if Texas decides to press we can be every bit as good as Louisville and Clemson. We have just as many shooters and more athletes than both of those squads.

    To answer your question, I think Barnes is too stubborn to go there and we end up a 5 seed that gets bounced in the second round.

  17. EggNog said:

    February 1st, 2009 at 9:54 pm

    If we become a pressing team, then our opponents prepare for that. Any legit team we play should have no problem running us out of the gym if we go that route. Remember, this was still just KSU. They did get hot, but it was KSU.

    This squad will only beat good teams by grinding games out and limiting possessions. As I have said before when we struggled to put away weak teams, that slow down ball does us no favors in blowing out teams.

    Do we do a Jekyll and Hyde thing from one game to the next? Mix and match throughout a game?

    The pressing game will get us killed against good teams, and the slowdown game will have us lose occasionally to teams we shouldn’t. Its like having a gun to your head and being told you have to sleep with either your sister or your mother…

    A press does a lot things to the other team. If we throw a hard press on both guard for 90 feet the ball goes to someone else that is considered a big. Advantage UT.

    Time taken off the shoot clock when we fall back to M2M after pressuring the ball. Adv. UT.

    Say that Mason and/or Dog hound the PG for 90 feet forcing him to the sideline, we double at midcourt using the sideline as another defender.
    Possibility of a bad pass,maybe a steal or the ball goes to the wrong spot on the court. ADVAn.UT.

    With the talent that we have and I agree with Trips that we can match up with L’ville and clemson without a problem. Pressing is like a chess game, press is thinking 1-2 moves ahead of the PG and other team. ADV. UT.

    The key is changing your press from guard press to a 1-3-1 to a 2-2-1 press and doubling everything in the corners and at mid-court then falling back to M2M. Rebounding well and taking the other team out of their game plan. ADV. UT

    The energy is their in the talent that we have, Mason,DJ, GJ, Ward, Balbay all played an uptempo game in high school. AJ has the BB I.Q. to play uptempo as well as CA and Hill.
    The press changes a lot of things for us and also the other team. Advantage UT.
    I thought that Barnes will change but we will see.

  19. SkymonkeyHorn said:

    I doubt that Barnes will change but we will see.
    See the press already put me at a disadvantage.

    If you are only halfway dedicated to a pressing attack, does it become “20 minutes of heck”?

  23. SkymonkeyHorn said:

    February 2nd, 2009 at 7:53 am

    Bob totally agree with you. A change of pace during low energy/stagnant minutes could result is a few easy baskets.Turnovers for the other team that gets us more shots in transition.
    The way we are right now is predictable, we need to change up every chance we get.
    I would rather have Barnes telling the team to slow down a little then run that pick and roll/pop insanity for 40 minutes.
    About 20 minutes of ass kicking, or it that not PC ?
