Great pass jCB

What the fuck is Lewis doing?

He Shoots entirely too much

And he’s not making any shots

jdwall12 - January 24, 2012 reply

Wow, we're playing really badly.

Mistakes as usual to start off the game.

BONation11 - January 24, 2012 reply

Attababy Jonathan

Holmes!

At least we came out running some sets.

Took us forever to run anything that resembled offense vs. KU

Terrible, give up the O-Reb the basket and foul

Brown

Am I the only one that thinks he is a bit overrated?

He's know Kemba, I like him more when he scores and distributes

overrated?

He gets no recognition at all nationally. He’s not playing well tonight,but he’s one of the best in the big xii

Mclovin1035 - January 24, 2012 via mobile reply

Need to make the take mid range shots. Minimize layups & 3s

The Royce White show

killing us

on the offensive glass

Another sloppy start

This team just cannot start well. Must drive Barnes crazy.

I would give anything for him to use some gimme plays like Izzo or Self

Just a couple quick buckets here and there are huge for confidence and momentum

We ran some sets early

You could tell we were drilled to open doing several plays. Our guys fucked them up.

13-8 ISU 10 minutes in

We just look really flat.

No intensity. Poor effort. Too much standing around.

8 pts in the first 10 minutes seems to be our norm

I can never take ISU seriously in any sport..

BONation11 - January 24, 2012 reply

like Bowen said

these guys have got to run hard off their screens, with purpose, as if they might actually shoot it
(and learn to pass into the post)
(and come out with some actual intensity)

Kabongo

needs to be the focal point of our offense IMO

Wingman shots an 18 footer and promptly sent to the bench.

Precisely what I mean

Barnes wanted it to go in to Chapman.

There we go

Back inside to Chapman

there

Bond gets the ball in the post and we score

Chapman goes hard off a screen and he scores

Love seeing the hard cuts off screens

Our young guys don’t get that yet

if they would just do that one thing

i think it would make a BIG difference

Yup

We’re young, and freshmen are adjusting from high school, when you don’t have to do shit to get open.

Nice read by Chapman to find the space in the high post

Tied at 13

5 turnovers already

Les sigh

Very pretty, Jaylen

Much better tempo

Opponent shooting poorly from downtown?

Is that legal against Texas?

wish it was mandatory

apparently, in Big 12 play, we’ve allowed 58% 3pt shooting in the first half

Let Kabango run!

Please

Bond doing work

Watching Julien Lewis takes years off my life

Just watch him on D and watch Sheldon on O, mentally erase all else

Bond!

Didn’t take the ball down. Great effort.

Nice transition bucket

Kabongo to Lewis. Horns by 8

Sigh

Followed up by worst break ever. C’mon Lewis.

23-15 Texas lead and it could be soooo much more

Whats cooler than being cool? JCB another 1st half slump

JCB cold shooting tonight

Good looks, just not falling. A little off.

whew

JCB needs to take a shooting vacation.. damn

JCB frustrated

But he’s drawn fouls on 2 of 3 possessions. Keep at it, J’Covan.

Wow our FTs & ISUs 3pt shot both uncharacteristically off tonight

JCB 0 for 8, 1 pt

Nice drive and dish Myck

ISU 3 cuts lead to 24-20 under a minute

Now this is more like the kind of officiating you expect to get at home

Saturday’s game was officiated like it was played in Lawrence.

Great follow Chappy

8 points, 5 boards. Horns up 28-22 at half. Pretty ugly affair by both teams so far.

Chappy put back closes the 1st half at 28-22

Whew.

We needed that, going into the locker room for halftime.

No real foul trouble to speak of which is nice

Why in the HELL

Do we keep trying to make sure that JCB get’s the final shot in the clutch? Hasn’t that plan failed enough times to consider other alternatives?

Yes it has. IMO

Last year though he was pretty good at it

Despite only scoring 28 pts this half, every Longhorn who played scored except.........

WINGMAN

Baylor holding strong up 12 over Oklahoma under a minute to go

And were back with a Texas foul

Good board Lexi

Nice!

JCB three puts Texas up 9

JCB with a 3. Texas up 9

Pretty!

JCB with a beautiful catch and shoot! Horns by 12!

Wooooooooo!!!!

Another 3 up 12

J'Ninja slips in from the shadows

...and then throws the ball into them

Great block, Chap!

Nice rebound Bond and draws a foul on White

JLewis AND 1

Gorgeous pass, JCB

Lewis with a strong finish, and one. Horns back up by 12.

Thats the JCB I love right there. Great vision, great pass

Nice feed from JCB.

http://www.scacchoops.com/ViewHDGame.asp?hSchedule=12672&bView=0

If you value such things.....

+/- for this game so far has Kabongo at +15, Lewis at +15 and Bond at +13.

Thanks

Really happy with Bond’s minutes tonight (and against KU, for that matter)

No problem! Can't watch the game, so I'm watching the SOTU and the box score on SCAC hoops!

JCB to Kabongo for 3

finally some real hustle

16 pt Texas lead... lets run away with this

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

What a sequence. What a freaking series. Bond with the hustle, pokes it away, Kabongo buries the three.

LOVE IT

Need to slow our fouls down this half. Up to 4

HAHAh WTH

Talk about a Not Top 10 play

ISU 3 cuts lead to 15. 44-29 Texas

Can't let up on a good 3 pt shooting team like this... need to push this out past 20

Loose ball turnover ISU dunk

Myck answers with a driving layup

46-31 under 12 break

Need to slow down White again... he's starting to get it going

That was a good move, at least.

Haha, the student section is cracking me up.

ISU back within 11. TO Texas

Texas was up 18, ISU making a spurt right now as Texas looks lazy on offense again

46-35 8:07 left

WTF stop turning it over

How did that even happen? It was like 4 on 1.

A junior high basketball has broken out the last 4 minutes

4 straight possessions with turnovers

Make that 5 straight turnovers. Charge on Chappy. ISU back within 9

WTF indeed

Just when you think were taking a step forward. Up 18 and now let ISU back to 9

We are choking on offense

have not scored since the Kabongo layup at 12:15

Offensive foul J Holmes. 6 straight turnovers

White gets a foul and goaltend

ISU back within 7 with a FT. MELTDOWN officially on

scoreless for 6 minutes? this is getting nerve-wracking

This is Aggy-ish right now

time left?

RQ - January 24, 2012 via iPhone app reply

2 steps forward 6 steps back

Thankful Myck hits a J

Our only friend is time, under 6 minutes

Meanwhile, TJ Ford is on Twitter bitching about high taxes.

Could be worse- could be T.O. He's somehow burned through $80 million in his career

Why shouldn't he? He earned his money and he would like to keep as much as he can

Because the average American salary is 26K.

Even with high taxes, he’d be making more than enough.

The average American salary has nothing to do with him. Not his fault, he just wants to keep what he's earned

I don't care what he wants to keep.

You can’t get money to fund our government from people who don’t have any.

He's not saying take it from people who dont have any. He is speaking only for himself

He has worked hard for what he made and wants to keep it. I don’t see how there is anything wrong with that

Because other people need that money.

The government needs that money to help pay for necessary things like healthcare, schools, etc.

Did he say he was for no taxes and no govt? No he said he pays 40%

I think 40% is plenty

Dude helps run an adoption agency Non-profit not like hes greedy man

Looking for it - I see you are a socialist

I’m retired and you probably make more than me – I think we should split your salary – it’s the socialist thing to do.

I am a social democrat.

And I make very little; about $23,000 a year. No lie. I’m doing my taxes right now and it says I’m only getting a return of $86.

Anyway, you’re using a logical fallacy. There are people who make hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Those are the people who we should be taxing, not regular working class Americans. I really don’t get why anybody would defend these billionaires.

I defend success and the work ethic

Being intelligent, motivated and industrious generally begats money. Why do they owe you?
By-the-way, a social democrat = socialist

Snide Aside - January 25, 2012 reply

What would be "enough" just for clarification?

Since apparently its the right of one American to tell another American he’s made enough

It's the right of us as people in a democracy to set tax rates at whatever rate we like.

Anything else would be plutocracy.

I don’t know what the right number is. But the wealth inequality is out of control.

Thats why I ask what is enough?

U can't regulate wealth, because people don't produce and contribute at the same rate

Regulating wealth just creates a different kind of inequality

Many rich people aren't rich because they produced or contributed more.

It’s nepotism and privilege that made them rich. I don’t care if “regulating wealth just creates a different kind of inequality”. That’s absurd. Just because it’s inequality doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s called progressive taxation. Get with it, like most of the civilized world has.

You mean like Russia, Communist China, Greece, Cuba?

Get with it, like most of the civilized world has.

No, Sweden, Finland, England, France, Germany... those.

I LOL'd - yeah, they are doing great.

America just sucks! We are still giving those countires billions of tax dollars after we pulled their bacon out of the fire from WWII. You should move to France, you would fit right in.

Snide Aside - January 25, 2012 reply

No politics! But what the heck, I'll take a pot shot.

Food for thought. If we taxed every citizen who made over $500,000 at 100% in 2009 (the most recent year of data available) it would generate less than $1 trillion. Congress just allowed another $1.2 trillion of this year alone. We can destroy the rich and still drive this country right over the edge.

We need more rich. Over and out. Go Horns!

WreckerTex - January 24, 2012 reply

The people who make that little aren't the issue.

The issue are the people who make millions upon millions of dollars every year.

They are fleecing the poor so much that our median income is all the way down to 26K a year. That’s like a McDonald’s manager’s income.

You might want to read that again, Sputnik.

Sigh.

WreckerTex - January 25, 2012 reply

TJ Ford... rich because of nepotism or because he is talented and productive?

Your call? I think TJ has worked his ass off and deserves as much money as he can to help himself, his family, his community and causes he believes in at his descretion.

TJ is a great person who has always made Texas fans proud. If only his spine was as strong as his heart. Regardless he has the right to express himself about how he is taxed. Case closed end of story

I didn't say those things made TJ rich, dude.

Please don’t strawman me.

I didn’t say he doesn’t have the right to express himself, just that I disagree with him. Do I have that right?? Doesn’t sound like you think I do.

Yah you have the right to try and lump TJ in with rich, greedy people

Who didn’t get their through effort. And I have the right to disagree with your. I suggest next time be more specific in your criticism of him instead of lumping him in with everyone else or include him as part of the reason why people make so little.

If TJ is in the Top 1% of basketball talent in the country, shouldn’t he get paid that amount? And why should he pay more simply because he is talented? Is it his fault he is more talented? Is it fair to penalize him for that?

When the fuck did I do that? I didn't. So shut up.

Is it fair to penalize me for not being good at basketball?

48-39 Texas under 5

retardation has set in

Wingman airballs a 7 footer and then we foul on a 3

48-42 Texas

Sheldon 2 makes it 50-42

52-45 3 min to go

54-45 Texas

Sheldon with some huge buckets, but ISU heating up too

Up 7, 2:45 left

anyone gotta link?

@ the top of the thread

At Least We Hit FTs this year

realmccoy - January 24, 2012 reply

lol @ these comments on the channel chat

Samantha Steele is too good for this channel

Yeah they really hate us don't they?

kriess - January 24, 2012 reply

Some truly incredible analysis by these LHN commentators

JCB basically seals the game with a 2 + 1

Where we at HULA? Time Score?

realmccoy - January 24, 2012 reply

10 pt Texas lead under a minute

Woohoo TY

realmccoy - January 24, 2012 reply

57-47 50 secs

Up 8 with 50 secs left, our ball

ISU hits both FTs 57-49 Texas

Missed FT from Myck. ISU nails a 3

If Kabongo can't make FTs in the clutch, then put in Gibbs who's the better shooter

Myck misses front end of 1 and 1 and ISU gets the rebounds and hits a 3. Terrible.

57-52 Texas 38 secs

c'mon guys

please don’t blow this geez

JLewis to the line. 35 secs

Lewis gets fouled, will shoot 2

first FT good

JLew 1 of 2

58-52 Texas

What the hell?

kriess - January 24, 2012 reply

ISU hits another 3

Texas 58-55

ISU 3 good. 58-55 Texas 25 secs

Rediculous poor defensive execution

Can't defend a dribble handoff

Laughable defense

ya think they might want to take threes here?

Need to hit two here. No more 1 of 2

9-16 from the FT line, this is the old Texas team

get the damn ball to JCB to ice this thing

JCB fouled with 21 secs

2 FT's for JCB

If Horns go up 4 or 5 here, would y'all foul?

no let the clock run

RQ - January 24, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Definitely press, make the run clock....

but maybe you can prevent them from getting 3 back if you foul as they get ball up the court. We will see

nevermind....I like Kabongo's strategy better!

1st FT GOOD! 59-55 Texas

2nd FT GOOD! 60-55 Texas

JCB hits both, clutch

Both good. 60-55 Texas with 21 left

kabongo with steal and layup... game

Steal and layup Kabongo

Kabongo!!!!

kriess - January 24, 2012 reply

GAME! 62-55

TExas wins by 7 62-55

haha we won the game in the exact same we lost to KSU

Yup, although we were up 5 rather than only up 2

Needed that W. Should have won by double digits but scoring draughts & turnovers prevented that

damn

they made it kinda hard to enjoy this win

Statistically this is our best win of the year

Iowa State (#44 in Pomeroy) is the highest ranked team we’ve beaten.

haha the freshmen players do not seem to be to in the Eyes of Texas song

how could anyone be into that song?

It's basketball - a win is a win. Bravo!

Great win

Not exactly a pretty affair, but a big win, and nice to see us close it out.

Rick Barnes

just cussed and said that this yr’s team should have tristan thompson, corey joseph and jordan hamilton and that the NBA sucks…wow

lol are you serious

Did he really?

nah just playin guys haha but it would sweet if he did

http://www.scacchoops.com/ViewHDGame.asp?hSchedule=12672&bView=0

Now that was funny.

WreckerTex - January 24, 2012 reply

Gotta start somewhere....still hope to go dancin' in March!

FWIW…..

Top +/- guys: Lewis +16, Chap + 13, and Kabongo +10.

Holmes at -10 in his 12 minutes.

Brown just a +2, meaning the team was +5 when he was off the floor

12 points on 16 shots.

Ouch. Last three games for J’Covan have not been very pleasant.

That's what happens when you play almost the whole game

a +5 in 3 minutes isn’t that great, if he would’ve sat for 5 it would probably have been less.

Its important that he had a +, that’s always good. But He needs to get his stroke back for Baylor and Mizzou

Mclovin1035 - January 24, 2012 reply

DGB

@ snide and GFTC… what’s your gut feeling telling you about our chances of landing DGB?

I think

the boy wants to be near his gf (Arky) and the family wants him at UT.

Deloss

ought to force Coach G to give his GF a scholarship, since she’s the most overpaid coach in the program and maybe anywhere, its the least she can do. That way we can get him.

Mclovin1035 - January 24, 2012 reply

I've said this repeatedly - he would be a lock then.

So, we have the same chance of getting hit by a wheel falling off an airplane as we do landing him!
