I would think that most Texas fans wouldn't even be aware that there's a basketball game tomorrow, and had just recently heard that Beard had been fired.

True for younger folks but I work around an older crowd (in Austin) and it's constant. Sucked to lose to them last football season, although not much said since I remind them the number of XII championship trophy's that reside in Waco from the last 10 years (relevant past). And of course the Beard scandal to them is peanuts compared to CAB. Pole dancers with trained monkeys was just silliness. Blah, blah, blah…

Cold, drizzly weather in Austin may make for a smaller home crowd.

Feels like will need a big scoring game from someone other than the big 3. Perhaps Jalen or Langston go off. Keep Texas out of transition, limit our turnovers, take good shots and rebound the hell out of the ball. Razor tight game. And Bears prevail by 2

Jalen has scored in double digits in each of the last seven gams and nine of the last 11. His high during that stretch is only 14 and he's scored 10 or 11 in five of those games, but he's become a consistent source of high-percentage scoring.

If we can get 10 from him and somebody else -- be that Love, Josh, Flo or whoever -- we're going to be tough to beat because Flag, George and Cryer are going to get their points more often than not.

This is a great test for us.

I haven't been able to watch Texas much this year. They seem more athletic and tougher than years past.

They're much better on offense and worse on defense than they've been the past two years. Marcus Carr is playing at a high level. If we can contain him and keep Sir'Jabari Rice from going off in his stead, we'll have a real good chance tonight.

They are not a good 3pt shooting team..and they really haven't been one in years... can't let that change tonight.

We've got to be smart with the basketball in this game. Wild misses equal live ball turnovers against this team.

We need to get good shots and keep them out of transition.

It was a nice drive to get to the rim. He just biffed an easy one.

Flo didn't miss a dunk. It was blocked from behind. That's a foul call 9 times out of 10.

Josh didn't even go for the dunk. He just missed an uncontested layup.

I'm surprised he didn't try for the dunk. It probably would've been more successful.
