I’m on my way to College Station. Looking forward to reporting on the scene from today’s game.

Traore out again. I am just going to assume he’s done. That way I will be pleasantly surprised if he comes back. Texas, after this game, has three games for certain left. It’s not like there is a lot of season left to be played. 

Zero confidence in this one today, we do owe them one on their home court though. 

 

 

ICYMI, Lassina Traore (knee) is out again today. He last played in the team's home win over South Carolina on Feb. 3.

You haven't heard the Aggies chant until you've heard about 15,000 of them do it in an arena where the roof traps the sound.

They are losers

We're underway at 3:10 p.m.

I hope that's not an omen. Matas is called for a foul on the opening tip.

His first foul comes one second into the game.

I think this is a Sean Miller challenge for a possible flagrant foul.

I guess on Agee?

The dumbest f*cking start to a game. 

Sean Miller still isn't happy with the call.

Mark picked Hill's pocket, but he slipped and lost the ball.

Even worse, Matas picked up his second foul and has already been lifted for Nic Codie.

Just ridiculous fouls for Volkietaitis. 

With Matas already battling foul trouble, Texas needs a massive game from Swain.

Nic Codie is going to have to eat a ton of minutes today with Matas is foul trouble already. 

Three team fouls charged to Texas in the first two minutes.

Make it four team fouls before the first media timeout.

Idk about that call
