Jordan Pope is back on the bench after picking up two quick fouls.

Swain might have a double-double by halftime. He's got seven points and eight boards with just 10 minutes left in the half.

A 7-0 State run after an easy bucket and Sean Miller calls a timeout at the 9:14 mark of the first half to talk it over.

Texas trails Mississippi State by four, 25-21.

Not enough defense. Giving up a bunch of layups 

I’m having issues watching the game and reading the thread at the same time 

Texas is in the midst of a three-plus-minute scoring drought in which it has turned it over three times.

No sign of the football visitors yet, for those interested in portal news.

Mississippi State 27, Texas 21

They would be better off dressing some of them tonight than Matas.

I got major concerns about this team being able to win enough to make the tournament

I could be wrong, but I think I see Chris Jackson with some kids halfway up Section 105. (I’m in 104.)

Hubbard's third three of the half ends a 7-0 run by the Longhorns.

Texas trails State by five, 37-32, with 3:48 to go until halftime.

Almost always a battle in year one.

Why I have posted all season ... coaches that didn't make the NCAA Tournament in year one in the portal era

Danny Hurley at UConn, Todd Golden at Florida, Nate Oats at Alabama, Rick Pitino at St. John's, Chris Beard at Ole Miss, Mick Cronin at UCLA, the angry guy at Illinois ... it's never a given in year one

We had the perfect deal with Beard/Texas and he blew it. I doubt I’ll ever get over it. We were on our way to winning big.

Oustanding backdoor cut by Mark. He gets a dunk off the feed from Traore to make it a one-point game, but the Bulldogs score at the other end of the floor.

I get it, but don’t look this bad defensively on a consistent basis.

I like Miller alot. It’s going to take a year or two for him to build through recruiting and the portal. I had hoped we could sneak in this year. Defense is going to have to get way better for that to happen 

Our team is ass this year, if we are the least bit competitive in year one it's a win IMO.

I think you might be right.

What a stupid foul.
