There’s Something about Avery.

Posted by jonestopten on March 12th, 2010 under Basketball

Trips Right's 33 volume Decline and Fall of Texas Basketball has not only been required post-disaster therapy for the Longhorn basketball fan (what is your hourly rate, anyway?) but also merits combat pay from BC's executive management.But there is one organ left in the vivisection of Rick Barnes that keeps bugging me: his arguably atrocious handling of Avery Bradley. I wrote earlier this season about Barnes' (usually useful) infatuation with psychological achievement drive, arguing

Posted by Trips Right on February 24th, 2010 under Basketball

Here's your primer on Oklahoma State from earlier in the year. The Cowboy personnel groups haven't changed a whole lot but ours have and that may be a problem.

I've heard some claim that the call from the President jinxed things for the Wildcats but I put little if any creedence in that theory. I'd say calling a member of the World Wide Leader on national television a "jagofff" was the deciding blow. You just don't do that.

Scattershooting Thoughts on Texas Basketball Win

Posted by Trips Right on November 17th, 2009 under Basketball

Sorry, but I've been tied up in Wisconsin for the last few days. It's fucking cold and Packer fan is walking around with a puffed out chest after the win against Dallas. Miserable.

Want to Stop the Longhorn Hoops Juggernaut? Zone ‘Em.

Posted by Trips Right on October 19th, 2009 under Basketball

Or so says Seth Davis, esteemed CBS Basketball Analyst and helpless apologist for Duke Basketball. Not so fast, Dukie. If it were that simple, Michigan State would struggle to score 50 and Tom Izzo's head would explode. It might anyway.
