Thamba/JTT/Vital/Mayer will never be more important then in this game. Texas has a ton of size and athleticism. Our bigs will need to bring their big boy pants to this one. Gonna be a grind.

Greg Brown is an interesting matchup, and Ramey shoots the 3 at a nice clip.

Should be a fun one! Sic 'em!

Biggest game in a season full of big games. If we can get the W in Austin, we can essentially run away and hide with the Big 12 title. No team would be within 3 games of us in the loss column.

Totally agree - Sims is a beast, and we need to play him physical - be nice to get a couple of quick fouls on him

Yes you have to be physical with him and Brown. Brown worries me the most out of their bigs. Kai Jones is similar to Sims

Horns fan here. I fully expect y'all to beat us tonight. Not only do I think you're simply better than us, but we haven't had our full squad together in 19 days.

Your guards are simply better than ours, and the team with the best guards usually wins the game. Though we have size and athleticism, we don't often play big down low. Sims has good games and bad games.

If we stay within ten I'll count it a positive, then see if we can get our act together by the conference tourney.

Noticed that too. Your bigs play small at times. Sims and Jones seem to be Jekyll or Hyde

What are you talking about? We have wins over Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Auburn, and Kansas, all of which are decent to very good teams. Texas will be the best team we face this season, but that does not mean we have played a bunch of nobodies up to this point.

I have no idea how he drew both games - he must be highly rated by the B12, despite what we rightly think about him

And find a way to screw us over. Like Mitchell getting practically tackled on his last attempted drive to the basket. No call.

Baylor, OU, OSU, Tech, KSU, and WV fans can't stand him... only KU, ISU, and Texas fans seem to like him... I don't pay attention to TCU boards to know what they think.
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.
