This is precisely why I didn't like this matchup for us.

Texas isn't a great team, but they're built well to exploit our defense.

What will it take for them to play well in the first half?

Reminding me of the 1st half against UH so far.

Nah even UH wasn't on pace for a 60 point half

We are leaving one of the best shooters, in the history of college basketball, wide open. Tighten up Bears. This is pathetic.
Guitarbiscuit

It doesn't help we're not fighting through screens. Sitting there like pansies. With that said, I have no clue how Texas does not have a better record.

These guys are not ready to play. No attention to detail.

We can just quit this game now and still get a 3 seed in the NCAA tournament.

With effort like this we'll get Georgia State'd again.

How about checking for a flagrant on the drive?

This must be that same officiating crew who should have been fired earlier this year

Why is Caleb Lohner playing?

Bridges is the only reason we're even remotely in this game right now.

Calling what Lohener does as playing is a stretch.

Frans right bridges truly might be most underrated player in the league

Bridges is an nba player when he does this. The rest of the team still rolling out of bed. They should join him soon
Johnny Bear

If hammering drivers in the lane is OK in this game - which apparently it is - we need to dish it out as well (like we finally just did on UT's last possession).

80%+ of the sketchy calls /noncalls are from the older dark headed ref. He's a Hartness wannabe. Kissinger has been pretty 50/50. Other dark headed ref has been a non factor.

Missing or hammered 4 times in one possession, and we need all the help we can get tonight
Guitarbiscuit
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, that old Hartness lookalike is a problem.
CorsicanaBear

We do not value the ball. UT has 12 points off if turnovers.
