I'm happy if Kaluma can drive all Pedulla every possession from here on out.

Larry right back in, and he lets the ball get knocked away from behind. Our offense has been dreadful all half.

And so does Johnson. Minus contribution from the guys who just came into the game.

Pope comes in after a break, and he bricks a three.

Onyema didn't body check Pedulla, but you'd think a fifth year senior might have some appreciation of the fact he can't spread his legs twice as wide as his shoulders in setting a screen.

And as soon as I say that, he hits a three. Time for me to rag on other players.

We have bad Pope tonight.

St. Mary's has held Santa Clara to a doughnut through 8:40 in the second half. 48-24 with 11:19 left, so maybe that question is being answered in St. Mary's favor.

How was that not a foul on Mississippi for bowling Larry over?

Horrible shot by Mark.

Shedrick with a heel on the arc. Otherwise that was a charge.

Now Johnson goes 1 on 1 against the world after we got the offensive rebound. If I was Terry, I would call a timeout now and try to get things settled on offense.

Three possessions, two of them crappy by us to start this half. Got Kaluma trapped in the corner. Got the pull up by Mark. Got no good looks on #3. Need to get the offense going.

Nice pull up by Mark.

That he is. He's also a senior who completely punted Mississippi's last possession in the first half against Missouri. I was left wondering how many new a-holes our posters would have torn Terry if Larry had done that.

I like Pryor. I liked him as an under the radar recruit. I saw a guy with hops and a nice shooting touch from the perimeter who could become a force later in his career. I failed in my attempt to explain that to posters elsewhere about 19 months ago.

Typical Texas game. We're up 4 on the road against a ranked team. And we have posters who only chime in when the other team scores. Damn, people. We won consecutive games against top 20 teams. We're ahead on the road against a ranked team. Try to see at least a little good in there, will you? I know I've criticized the bad plays when I saw them--Larry dribbling off his foot, Kent throwing a rebound away, Kaluma bricking a horrible shot, etc. This team isn't perfect. No team plays perfectly all game long. We're winning so far. Don't hate on that.

Kaluma--get out of my way or get knocked to the floor while I score.

Codie couldn't get it to fall from point blank range.

Kent can't finish inside. It's sad. I hate to see it and report on it. But he just can't.

Tough foul on Mark. He spent the whole possession keeping a big man away from the basket, and he gets called for trivial contact boxing out for the rebound.

Horrible shot by Kaluma

PRYOR!

19-9 on the boards so far. If this continues, then will Beard talk about what a great rebounding team Texas is in post-game q and a? Or will he admit his team is crap at it?

Which we have. Now 3/10.
