Man i have really liked Sean Miller since he’s been here. He definitely has a good plan. What I like is in his press conferences he doesn’t do the coach speak stuff. He tells it like it is and doesn’t mind if it hurts someone’s feelings. I think we’re on the right track. I hope we make the tournament this year. SEC doesn’t seem quite as tough but still really good teams and they’ll play lights out against Texas.

Johnson, Orlando, City... Take your pick!

A three-point play by Matas gets things started for Texas.

 

 

Pope doesn't need much space coming off a screen to knock one down from deep.

As is the case with most teams from one-bid leagues, Le Moyne can't match the size of Texas. Nevertheless, I don't want it to be a game where the ball just gets dumped down to Matas for a slew of easy baskets.

Sean Miller's staff has been really good on out-of-bounds plays so far this season.

Texas 13, Le Moyne 7

I've got to go jump on our Tuesday livestream with Amanda and CJ, so I won't be posting in the thread.

Enjoy the game, everybody! 

The ups and downs of year one under a new head coach 

Sloppy first half 

They played pretty well until the last five minutes. Matas is a critical piece. The other post players are no threat on the offensive end.

Frontcourt still has time to fine tune before conference play.

Texas is up by 20, 57-37, with 14:07 to go in the game.

He’s got to be a force against teams with a pulse.
