Think we have seen some start to the growth process for Dillon, but just me. He has improved at the FT line and in the mid-range ... but his best basketball has always been way out in front of him. 

The major issue for Texas and Mitchell is he's not a college wing, and Texas doesn't have one this year. 

Texas struggles at home continue to baffle. A night where Max Abmas just couldn't buy an open look, which happens about three nights over a 35 game season. 

Well, that and Iowa St’s defense is suffocating.  

IT Horton being borderline unplayable has hurt this team so badly. Need a second guard who can be a semi-reliable bucket-getter. And while Weaver has been good and growing into his role, he isn't that guy. 

I hate to harp on it but if this team had Jayden Nunn or Reese Dixon-Waters, we probably have at least 2-3 more wins on the season.

It’s not Weaver you should be highlighting in that 2nd guard need. He’s been found money tho @Gerry Hamilton said he’d be a fan fav in the vein of SJR.  
 

It’s the elephant in the room that’s continued to weigh us down. Tyrese Hunter. 21 against Baylor and then 26 over his next 5.

His inability to understand and maximize his strengths after a B12 FOTY start at ISU is mind boggling.  

 

Massive IF he can play with a level of consistency on offense then this team has a chance given that Disu and Max bring it pretty much every night.

100% THIS.

Texas essentially having to take a third year staring PG/CG (Hunter) off the ball this year has been so big in the season inconsistency… 

While Max and Disu are terrific in the two-man game, Texas hasn’t been able to attack all the way they wanted due to Abmas having to take over the ball a high percentage of the time 

 

Ball in hand too much for Hunter and Mitchell (he tries to do too much) have been killers IMO 

Texas is a No 7 seed vs. No. 10 seed Aggies right now...lol

Texas now sits at 16-8, 5-6 in Big 12

Most likely scenario:

@ Houston - loss (16-9, 5-7)

Kansas State - win (17-9, 6-7)

@ Kansas - loss (17-10, 6-8)

@ Texas Tech - loss (17-11, 6-9)

I’d think that would be good enough to get in regardless of what happens in Kansas City considering the wins already on the resume. 

Would love to see them steal one of those road games but those are such tough places to play. I would say @ Baylor might be the best chance.

Because the Big 12 is brutal, I think Texas would definitely get in ... and would be on that 8-9 seed line IMO. Or 10 seed.

Their NCAA Net would end up with 5-6 Quad 1 wins depending on how the season plays out, and ranked in top 30 more than likely. 

Currently No. 33 after all Saturday games...

Give me the #10 seed over the 8/9 every day of the week.

Right now, we'd be matched up against TCU again in the 2nd round of the Big 12 tournament.

After their loss last night, aggy needs to move to the very least last 4 in, if not 1st 4 out.

I agree with you. 

@Gerry HamiltonSaw Nic Codie is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Hoping it isn't an acl.

Yep. He has been out for most of season. Don’t believe it’s ACL, but haven’t been told for sure

Interesting. Adam Silver said today the NBA is considering getting rid of the Ignite. He sights NIL as a big reason why, but the real reason is that the players that have graduated from it are complete dog ****.
