After the way we started, if you told me we'd be up by 2 at the half I'd be pretty dang happy.

Worst end of half team in the country. Every game last minute or 2 is always a -5 or -6. Huge difference in wins and losses. Sign of a disjointed team.

When was the last time you saw three seconds called twice in one game? One half?
Very odd. Rarely ever called in the college game any more.
My wife said it was probably the woman ref because gals are more by the book. Again, my wife said that, so gals on this site don't need to flame me.
The woman has been better than either of the men today.

We got a great look. You're not always going to make them, but at least we got a good shot this time.

Just wait. We'll give up a 3 to start the half and go down by 1. It's what we do

Playing at home will help. It's much harder to stop runs on the road than at home. This one should be tight the rest of the way, unless we pull away (fingers crossed).

I just don't want Texas to win a Big 12 title before they leave. As painful as it is to say, I'd much rather Kansas win than the Horns.

I seriously can't remember the last time we actually scored in an end of the half last possession situation.

That's because most of the time we get a terrible look. That wasn't the issue today. Flag just rushed/missed a bunny.

Yeah most are commenting on the bad last shots which is true too, but Im talking about the total defensive collapses at the end. We inevitably give up 6-8 points over the last minute and a half almost every game after we get out to a 6-8 point lead. Nearly every time. Its a mental issue with the team.

Odd stats of the game:

We're manhandling the Horns on the boards, 27-15, and that's with Jon having only 1.

We have a 7 point lead in a game where we have 5 assists and 16 TO's, compared with the Horns only having 8 TOs.

Definitely goal tending. The ball hit the backboard first and by rule you can't touch it after that.
