Liveblogging Wednesday Night

Posted by Vasherized on January 20th, 2010 under Basketball

Why you ask? Because it’s there. We are the Sir Edmund Hillary of liveblogging. If it’s on, we’ll blog it. Oxygen canisters are sometimes required but thankfully HenryJames doesn’t have cable.

Criminal Minds? Bring it, sexual deviants and criminology majors. Modern Family? Bring it, gays and aspiring TV writers. Colorado/Okie State?

Get a fucking life and turn on the Baylor/KU game.

KU’s first half effort against Baylor reminded me of Texas’ game at K. State. Except the Jayhawks are at home. Still, it’s a familiar brand of West Mall grackle shit that Texas fans have enjoyed the flavor of for the last three games, save a few sparing moments when we actually showed some movement on offense, hit bunny layups, sank at least 1 out of 2 free throws, and kept the same lineup in for more than 36 seconds.

Meanwhile, our win against UNC isn’t looking so good. The Tar Heels just lost their third straight to an underrated Wake Forest squad that dominated the whole way, winning by 13 at the Dean Dome.

The wins against Sparty and Pitt look strong, even if Pitt was missing two key players when we beat them. Nobody will remember that come seeding time in March.

Hopefully Scipio can fill us in on the new season of Ugly Betty. That’s the only plausible reason we could come up with for his going off the grid. Sailor Ripley is working behind the scenes to pull the show off the air. Maybe srr50 can give us a ratings update?

    Baylor ties it up at 65 with 3:22 to play after a 38 ft jumper by Collins misses and Baylor hits a wide open backdoor (Hi!) cutter for an easy dunk.

    Good to have some Sherpas around for fact checking.

    Thanks, Tenzing Norgay.

    My Collins tag hex apparently didn’t work. Just hit a 3 to put the Jayhawks up by 5.

    Maybe it’s just me but the 09-10 basketball season is shaping up a lot like the 09-10 football season – no great teams, a number of good teams that can look like dogshit on any given night.

    Hell, even Texas looks a lot like Texas – outstanding individual talent at spots, indifferent offense that looks good on paper, defense that has some holes in it, a predisposition to play some guys for the apparent reason that they’re program guys, coaches/fans that say over and over again that “we can play so much better”, and a tendency to lose complete control over fundamentals.

    Seriously, I think we could beat UConn by 10, and I think we could get beat by 20. I have no idea what to really expect. Same thing with the rest of conference play. I hope we get over our customary mid-season funk soon.

    Still, March Madness is on the horizon.

    I don’t know about you guys but I had an awesome Wednesday talking to myself online watching 7 different games at once.

    Baghdatis came back to beat Ferrer down two sets. There is some seriously hot ass running around Melbourne during that tournament if you ever get a chance to go. I should let HenryJames know in advance that it’s female ass.

    Barnes’ three “strengths”:

    Defense, rebounding, recruiting.

    This team just proved the first two are non-existent (out-rebounded by 25; fucking KIDDING me?) and the last one is over-hyped as well. Every ESPN basketball recruiting analyst who actually had Bradley ahead of Wall should be taken out back and executed Inglourious Basterds style.

    a Good System will usually beat a talented team that does not play together and are thinking instead of playing basketball ,over a season the system wins more then they will give away.

    Nordberg,

    Ironic indeed……teachable moment, I guess….

    I hope your drunk, because Izzo ain’t coming to Texas……Why don’t we just get Coach K. I mean Coach G came from Duke, they have to be dying to get out of Durham….

  • Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 36 minutes ago

    Egg, that’s fine, but at what point do you blame Barnes? Seriously, man. You’ve thrown players under the bus left and right, but at a certain point, doesn’t the buck stop somewhere. I know you’re more of an NBA guy so it begins and ends with players there, but we need fucking

    Trips,

    I hear ya. I’m frustrated as well. I guess I just don’t prescribe to such a black and white characterization of the situation. I do know that no matter what happened in the huddle, JCB made a dumb play. If Rick didn’t explain or remind him of the situation, then I

  • Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 45 minutes ago

    Pat, know I don’t, but I’ve had coaches draw up plays to free up the best foul shooter and then tell that guy they’d put their foot up his ass if they passed the ball. It’s funny, but as a fans of football we nitpick blitz pickup and shit like that. Shit that’s

    Shitty season…..Rick needs to hire some offensive help and someone needs to say it to him. Deloss?

  • Patrick Bateman commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 50 minutes ago

    Trips,

    Do you know that he didn’t? JCB has made bad decision all season, why would this be any different. Barnes coached a shitastic game, but on the teams I was the best FT shooter, I never game up the ball unless it was an uncontested layup…..It’s not hard and it doesn’t take a

  • Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 51 minutes ago

    mcpayne, yes, you don’t leave that shit to chance. You don’t let your guys break the huddle or dead ball not knowing precisely what’s expected from them. Barnes doesn’t get 2 mil for coaching PE where he’s hoping the right guy gets fouled.

  • uthookem commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 52 minutes ago

    mpayne, I’d agree with you if J’Covan had been playing all season and had been in situations to make that decision. Like, you know, against Baylor, when he played all of 3 fucking minutes thanks to rick.

    So yes, it is rick’s fault.

  • Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 53 minutes ago

    With 15 seconds left, out of a dead ball, most coaches would make it perfectly clear who they wanted to be fouled.

  • uthookem commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 56 minutes ago

    Stupid decisions by Brown are one of the reasons he sat on the bench for most of the season…lack of coaching maybe, or just a lack of basketball IQ?

    Oh well, if Brown doesn’t go off in the 2nd half, we aren’t even playing in OT. Too bad he didn’t get much of a chance

  • Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 56 minutes ago

    Pat, if you were making 2 million a year, would you leave that up to chance?

  • Patrick Bateman commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 57 minutes ago

    Actually, if your a PG and the best FT shooter on the team and played basketball your entire life, you’d pretty much know not to give up the ball if you had any brains…..Such a dumb play…..

  • D W commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 58 minutes ago

    Oh, and a stupid decision by Brown in giving up the ball to Johnson.

  • Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 58 minutes ago

    Be nice if we’d coached our 90 percent foul shooter not to give the ball up.

  • Patrick Bateman commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 58 minutes ago

    Ransom,

    1 for 2, that was not shitty defense……

    Well if you had read it all the way, you would’ve noticed this little tidbit:

    In the second part I’ll do my best to give an outline of what exactly is wrong with the program, what we can do to fix it, and then what will probably happen TO fix it.

    The line kills us, as it should have.

    Fuck Rick Barnes, as this was the worst coaching I have seen in all my years of watching UT sports.

    This saved us from Kentucky, but I feel bad for Damo, he was a hell of a Longhorn.

    Hook ‘em!

    And FUCK RICK BARNES!

  • Patrick Bateman commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 59 minutes ago

    Feel bad for Damion…..Dexter and Mason, not so much….

  • D W commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 59 minutes ago

    So the season ends with missed free throws and shitty defense by Bradley. Pretty fitting.

    Why does Brown give it up there?
