So Texas is now the 4th best team in their state?
Tex / Tex Tech
- Thread starter Villian07
- Start date
So in back to back games, Texas pretty much down all game at WVU and win on a final shot. Up pretty much all game at home againt Tech and lose at the end. Sounds about right for the Big 12.
They had hoped to surpass Houston this year to become the 3rd-best program in the state, but alas, that doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
Houston already beat Texas Tech. I think they are stuck at #4
Tech looks substantially different with McCullar in the lineup - and Burnett out of the lineup. Probably a top 10 team now. Thought it was funny how Burnett was literally the only player Sheriff was complimentary of before the start of the season.
Turning point of the game was when Greg Brown tried to do the Kevin Garnett tactic of swatting Mac McClung's practice shot after the whistle had blown. But, he whiffed. And McClung got to see the ball go through the bottom of the net. Not serious, but subconsciously it probably does help a little. At that juncture in the game, they were down 7 points with 8 minutes left.
Also, thought it was funny how when TT got the rebound with under 20 seconds left, Fraschilla was urging Tech to, "Push it!" Um yeah, we get it. You think their half-court offense is terrible. But, why would you take a shot with 10 seconds left on the clock?

I really like Greg Brown. He has so much potential.
It surprises me how good Fran is at his job. I usually thoroughly enjoy his commentary. But, he does try to coach from the mic sometimes and it can get annoying.
A funny thing about this game for me was everytime they showed Ramey he was acting like a punk and jawing all game, and for Karma to rear its ugly head on him at the end of the game, was beautiful. That bone head play definitely cost them more than any other play.
Haha yeah. Must be that junkyard dog mentality, as Fran likes to call it. I enjoy listening to him. Very, very knowledgeable. But to your point, he does put that coaching routine in overdrive at times.
Make it 6 wins out of the last 7 against the Horns. Really sucks not being as talented as they are.
7 of 8
Can’t imagine how lopsided it would be were we not so devoid of talent.
This was a fun game to watch. The Big 12 has been beating each other up all season. Texas Tech swept Texas. Texas swept Kansas. Kansas swept Texas Tech.
This Texas team is crap. Brown should not be stating, Sims play like he is afraid he might break, the two guard are nothing more than sandlot players. I am surprised Tech didn't beat them by more.
UT might be the 3rd most talented team in the country. So poorly coached. Shaka continues to waste good big men.
Our big men do not play big . They are soft and will not play the post like they should but I agree, Shaka is a terrible coach and it shows every game.
You must not have been exposed to Sheriff’s wisdom.
Shaka is a brilliant basketball mind. Everyone in the program says so.
I thought Jericho Sims was going to be a draft pick when he first showed up at Texas. He’s huge and super athletic. He looks so lackadaisical out there sometimes.
A good coach would change that though. They’ve got all the talent in the world, they just need somebody to bring it out of them.
