Solid start for us thus far……Spoke too soon. Tie game.
Seymour Cray said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Kantrail Horton, imo.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Good start. Bad last two minutes.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Once again, total lack of respect for Mason causes two empty offensive possessions. They could care less if he’s on the court…
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Ball-you-half court defense rearing its ugly head.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I understand why Barnes wants to go big, but he needs another shooter on the floor to pull it off.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Looks like we’re going to live and die with Mason.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Wangmene, Mason, Damion, Gary and Jordan…..Interesting lineup….
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Bad move by Jordan. He had the three and the foul line J but overpenetrated. Good help transition D by DJ….
Savage Henry said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Stuck in the deep south for work so I won’t get to watch this one. Probably a good thing.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Why doesn’t James just catch that? I don’t understand the need to swat it out of bounds. Sigh. Bill Russell.
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Block of the year.
We have one shooter and nobody with a handle. Defense is going to have to carry the day.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Good point, Trips. Daryl Dawkins influence….
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Nice dime from JH
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Bad decision by Mason, but at least we get the 3rd on their big goon…..
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Why do I think we go on a run here when Mason comes out?
March 10th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Yes! Jai Lucas coming in. He’s so much better than J’Covan Brown. Not to mention Magic Johnson.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Hill! And automatically gives up a deuce…
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Matt Hill? Really?
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Barnes loves him some self checks on offense. Unreal.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
I think JCB made his bed, with lazy defense and dumb offense. Hill!
AB hit a couple of J’s. Hopefully he can get going….
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
When I think of Matt Hill, I think of physicality.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Hamilton and James playing volleyball.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Damion goes Omen on the rim….
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
what was the call there?
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
I don’t think they gave him the NBA continuation although I wish they would. Probably check on the dribble.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Art, block on the floor. Bad call.
Diego said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
I can’t believe that Barnes is still so adamant about proving his point that he’s willing to go to Matt Hill and Jai Lucas in postseason play. He’s certainly willing to go down with the ship it appears.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
I’m biased though.
NY Horn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
If Hamilton stays next year, he’s going to be really, really good. Even if he doesn’t get any help.
dick said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Now AB with a dumb hesitant 3 pt attempt.
Announcers said “Matt Hill’s been terrific”. I just turned it on, is this true?
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Bradley should have kicked it back to Hamilton there for the three. Fans can’t be surprised that JCB is sitting, can they?
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Avery looks so much more comfortable, Bradley doesn’t.
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
I meant Hamilton looks more comfortable.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
We suck on guarding cutters to the rim. We got beat twice there….
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
“Announcers said “Matt Hill’s been terrific”. I just turned it on, is this true?”
If by setting a couple of picks, falling down and multiple fouls is good play… then yes.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
If Dex can’t wreck shop with this group, he’s hopeless.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Damion is sooo much better putting the ball on the floor this year. He couldn’t dribble twice without getting stripped last year…
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Great close out by JH.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Jordan’s cold tonight….
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Great point Patrick
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
…about DJ’s dribble that is.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
JCB is in!!!! I hope we go 1-4 set at the end of the half. JCB is so lazy….What was that???
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
J’Covan gets out of the doghouse and then loafs for a loose ball 10 seconds into his floor time. Wow.
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
So James takes an off balance shot and Rick takes him out and beats him down when he has played great basketball all game on both ends of the floor? Fuck Rick Barnes.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Patrick, you’re right, I don’t want Brown on the floor if he’s not going to give effort.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Barton, is that what happened? I missed it.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Barton,
Damion needed a blow. I don’t think it had to do with the last shot. C’mon….
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Hamilton is playing well. Pittman, not so much.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Great entry pass by JH and then great block! He’s shooting poorly, but he’s helping in other ways….
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
That’s not the way I saw it. Rewatch it and tell me I’m wrong.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I would take Dex out here. No need to tempt fate for his 2nd foul…
March 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
It definitely did Patrick. He was bitching him out the entire time.
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Trips, I think you are being too tough on Dex. When your best passer is JH you aren’t a good passing team.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Ugly…
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Art, you’re probably right.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Yes, he gave him lip, but he had been on the floor almost the entire game. He was scheduled to get a blow and his last play was a poor one. He was back a minute later. Not buying it.
We went 1-4 with JCB!!!! And surprise, he made a terrible play….
March 10th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
God what a terrible last shot.
NY Horn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Well, this is pretty much where we are as a team at this point. A few points better than ISU.
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
In 1988 I went to NYC and saw almost every game of the Big East tourney at MSG. By the time the championship game came around I was hooped out. Went and saw some tall buildings and shit.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
I was hooped out after watching Providence vs. Seton Hall last night. It was like watching the New York Gauchos vs. Houston Hoops.
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Who would have thought 4 weeks ago that Hamilton could have a bad shooting half and yet still find ways to help us? Kid still has a long way to go to reach his potential, but he has made tremendous strides in a short period of time. Easily our best passer and he is really a very good rebounder when he gets aggresive. His d is getting better, but that goes without saying. It had to.
Our team, however, sucks ass. You just can’t be good with Mason/Lucas/Brown at the point.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Good start to the half…If we could have hit any threes we would be up double digits…
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Gilstrap can have that. Jeez.
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Agreed Barton.
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
As much as James has improved this year off the bounce, I wonder if he might have a chance at being a solid 3 at the next level?
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Barton, right on point. No one bothers to guard Justin Mason. You won’t see good mid majors with that problem.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Jordan pulled a Hill…..BTW, agreed. JH has turned into our 3rd best player and he’s our best overall talent…
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Did #11 for ISU have a cameo in Schindler’s List?
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Kris Kristopherson’s kid, imo
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Damion fucking James
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
Can either one of those white dudes on our bench play the point? Serious question, imo.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Easy offense right there. Get the little white kid on your hip and back him down.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Hamilton is our best passer.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
I never get rolls like that.
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
Damn nice drive and dish JH. Can he play the point? Eventually, I think he can.
NY Horn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
We’re going to miss Damian a lot next year. That’s kind of a scary thought.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Nice offensive blockout by Hill on DJ’s drive…
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Barton, Damion’s audtioning for the NBA by guarding Gilstrap.
damn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Damion decided, “fuck it, i’m not losing to ISU.”
nordberg said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Correct me if I’m wrong, but halfway through the 2nd half, do we have any points from the PG position tonight?
justhookit said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
“Can either one of those white dudes on our bench play the point? Serious question, imo.”
Barton, I was having that exact same thought.
Playing 4 on 5 is killing us, and I’m not seeing all that good of D from Mason, and haven’t all year
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
We need to go grab the best juco point guard out there and promise him a starting role next year. Or the best one and done point guard and offer him 25% ownership in Sugar’s.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Damion needs about 20+ shot/gm the rest of this short season…..
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Hill!!!!
nordberg said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Barton we’re dead in the water anyway. I’d be trying Hamilton, Dick, Hamilton’s Dick… anyone at PG at this point.
justhookit said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Our 1 / 4 set at the end of the half should have Hamilton at the 1.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Nordberg,
We have uno points right now from the PG position…..1 assist and 1 TO….We’re playing the binary code….
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Lucas is killing us guarding the ball. he can’t keep Garrett in front.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Our defense is hilarious….They can get in the paint off the bounce at will….
damn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
or just go down to gregory. plenty of good point guards there.
nordberg said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
OK. This is fucked. I’m ready to empty the bench and go 40 minutes of hell every game from here on out. Why the fuck not.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
Gilstrap traveled. That’s a bullshit foul call.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Dexter paying some immediate dividends!
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Dex is taking over!!
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Nice hands by pittman. So frustrating.
Bartoncreek said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Damion James deserves everything he gets and I hope that it’s a lot, Trips.
justhookit said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
wow what a rebound by damion
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
WHHHHHHHHHHat a board!!! Wow
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Double-double for Damion….
justhookit said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
that shouls have been our ball
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Avery got too deep there, but you can’t fault him for attacking the paint.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Nice move by Gary.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
We’re playing great defense after getting Avery on Garrett.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:00 pm
That was over the back by the Viking that ISU has out there….
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Dexter is a difference maker. I don’t understand why he disappeared.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
I think Dexter loves the Big12 Championship!!!
HelmetBoy said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Oh snap!
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
James, Dex, and Johnson aren’t going to let us lose.
justhookit said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Pittman made that play because he got pissed off on the ball screen he tried to set. Wish he’d play that way all the time.
NY Horn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
I think Dex loves the ISU frontcourt.
nordberg said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Dexter seems to show back up against the Iowa State’s of the world.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Reid Gettys doesn’t understand what happened here, we started keeping ISU out of the paint when we switched Lucas to Christopherson and put Avery on Garrett. ISU has done jackshit on offense since that change.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Greg Brackens is a pretty athletic dude.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Craig
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Horrible bail out call against Johnson.
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
What was Lucas doing there? Good gravy he’s awful.
Scipio Tex said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
WE ARE DOMINATING!
The dream is alive. I’m calling my shot right now: we only trail by 3 at half against Baylor.
Bank it.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
He’s awful, but he’s saved our bacon on offense.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Scipio’s just angry that we pulled Matt Hill.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
What was that, Jordan? Good shot decision, but he needs to knock that down….
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Brackins gets nasty. Our offense the last three trips has been nasty….
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
do the ISU fans and the Neb fans share clothes?
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
We need to get something going to the rim.
Trips Right said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Damo’s clank
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Hey, our two forwards break the press….
justhookit said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
We should put Brown in now
justhookit said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
wtf, we design a play to inbounds to Lucas
Texoz said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
How does Bradley ever miss a FT with that sweet shot?
NY Horn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
The problem is, Barnes cares too much about JCB.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Damion puts it away, fittingly, with a rebound…..
Art Vandelay said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Damion James = Warrior
austin 420 said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
what is the story with j’covan
austin 420 said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
and does rick ever reward or encourage? or just punish. jai did a good job managing tho
dick said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
big “meaningless” 3 by Iowa St for the cover
austin 420 said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
damion was playing more like a guard today
nordberg said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Lucas did fine tonight, although that’s not what we need from our point guard in this offense.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
28 and 16 for Damion. That’s a man’s game.
NY Horn said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
I think we have a shot against Baylor tomorrow night. We almost beat them in Austin, and that’s more like a neutral court game than a home game, anyway. It would be pretty fucking difficult to have a worse defensive performance, too.
Vasherized said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
dick,
Anybody that still bets on Texas deserves to lose their money.
J’Covan must have the J’dog house pretty pimped out by now.
srr50 said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
J’Covan’s body language on the bench — and for the quick second that he actually got on the court — screamed that of 5-year old who is pissed at dad and is determined to show him his feeling aren’t hurt, and he doesn’t give a fuck.
He is toast.
guest said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Hill: 3 points
Brown + Lucas + Mason: 3 points combined.
It’s a crying shame that one of the best frontcourts in Texas basketball history is paired up with an equally bad backcourt. Can’t believe I’m saying this considering the preseason hype, but I miss A.J. Abrams.
guest said:
March 10th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
You know it’s bad when Barnes doesn’t even put in Brown to shoot free throws at the end. In the post-game press conference, someone asked Rick about Jai being ahead of Brown in his rotation. Rick’s answer was simply a praise for Lucas’ solid play. There was no mention of J’Covan.
Patrick Bateman said:
March 10th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
I think we all can see that barring injury or massive desperation that JCB’s year is done. He’s played poorly an inconsistently the last half of conference play and probably needs a bit of a break from the pressures of big time college basketball. I have hopes that he can be a better player next year and can play with more effort and a better attitude. He can be a very good college basketball player but he has some growing up to do…..
Savage Henry said:
March 10th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
0-3 vs. Baylor. Can’t wait.
Another Dipshit Poster said:
March 11th, 2010 at 7:09 am
Trips, this team will need a lot of things next year, but a juco point guard won’t be one of them. Read into that what you will.
This team is an absolute and total mess. Damo playing for a contract and an Iowa State team with some locker room issues similar to ours were the only two things that kept our KC trip from ending like we deserved it to.
