We've been here before in Morgantown, Lawrence and Norman. Hope we learned from those losses in order to finish this one.

this may not be Drew's best team.... definitely not close to his best on offense.... but it's tough

Get Jake in there now. What an absolute disgusting offensive possession that was.

It's better to just hold the ball and take a dead ball shot clock violation than to force it like that

he called that foul before the play even happened

Why they wait until under 10 to start is unconscionable.

Yes get him in there

My "guess" is that Drew thinks he doesn't have the best offensive team this year so he is running clock and limiting possessions.

Jo wilts in the post to let Walton Jr. score like that.
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Down to 1. Not again, please.

Huge rebound and second chance points by Jo

55-54 with 26.6 left. Manu has to have the ball in his hands. Let Vital in bound, or better still, put him under the basket.

Texas has to foul. I'll be interested to see if Vital is in.
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Perfect. Make these, 20.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
And he misses the first. Good lord.

Great job of getting open and creating an easy passing lane by Manu
