Welp… here we go. Texas has to win three of last four to guarantee an NCAA Tournament bid at 8-10 in SEC play.

Feels like two teams with opposite trajectories right now

Because they are

If we can slow down Sidney Moncrief, we have a chance.

Another 8pm game

Strollin Nolan isn’t walking through that door. 

Let’s be honest we all know we aren’t winning this. Let’s just stop delaying the inevitable and can RT.

Johnny Moore will lock him up.

Walking? Sure, I don’t think he can stroll anymore.

Thiero is out for Arkansas.

Dumb.  We'll replace him at the end of the year in all likelihood, but firing him now just means Frank Haith becomes interim coach, and he's the guy who is already directing the offense, so what have you gained?  Nothing.   Either that, or you bring in an outsider, and nearly everybody quits, and we wind up playing walk-ons for the rest of the year.

And there probably isn't a coach out there who is thinking of moving up who isn't waiting to see what happens in Austin before agreeing to a new job, so there is no reason to pull the plug until the season is over.

I know your entire fandom is built around bad takes and kneejerk reactions, but CDC is actually going to wait 2 weeks for the season to end like a normal person because contrary to what you believe there is very little accomplished from pulling the plug 14 days before the season ends for a team that may or may not be playing in the postseason.

What's Chris Ogden's future looking like? Not totally sure what his role is in the program. 

Hope they surprise me, but I’m expecting a relatively comfortable loss

Given Texas falls behind 15+ in half their SEC games, this bet seems too easy.. then they’ll lose by 7 to make it seem like a close game lol.

Sidney Moncrief retired a long time ago dude.  Alvin Robertson is the guy you need to watch out for.  He averages like 15 steals a game.

He’s the one identifying guys who may be available in the portal. That’s not good. 

Need to focus on running Scottie Thurman and Clint McDaniel off the 3-point line.

I suspect it isn't looking too sharp.  Part of the problem with the current team is misfit-toyitis, and if he really is the recruiting coordinator as part of his general managing role, then he has to take some of the responsibility for this.

But if we are moving on from Terry, and I suspect it is likely that we will, then I think Haith and Ogden will also be shown the door, and the Rick Barnes assistant era will come to an end at Texas.

 

 

You knew understood the Arkansas rivalry?

Abe Lemons.

 

And LaSalle Thompson. 

RT... pick somewhere nice and warm and don't even sit down with CDC. When he walks in.. walk right past him with your stuff in that brown box and don't look back. The band-aid stickum (this fan base and university) is gone. This is what you get for being there for someone when they need you. 🤘🏿

My cousin Al Dillard wasn't so bad off that bench, either. I always thought he was a better shooter than my favorite player, Scottie T.
