Will take a full 40 minutes of defensive pressure to keep things close. We match up with length and 3 point shooting but quickness and getting up court fast is where Tx has the edge. We see too many of our frequent dry spells and it'll be tough to hang. I'm believing we can get on a heater starting today and run the tables.

I've said it time and time again. Everyone talks about Higgins, but Kissinger has been a big thorn in Scott Drew's side for the past few years.

Kissinger + old fat guy + clueless chick + inability to shoot = not good combination.

We'll be done 20 at half if someone doesn't step up fast.

I sure hope SEC refs don't kiss UT's butt like Big 12 refs do.

Texas is just so disruptive on defense. We need to start taking some of the 3's when they are open.
