Well, that was quite bad, for the first 19 minutes.
And then, all of a sudden, it wasn't bad anymore. A quick, 7-0 run to close it out, and we have all of the momentum.
I actually think we're in pretty good shape, now.
Just, please NCHCBS, play Travis Releford. I promise, just do it. It'll turn out well. I promise.
Please?

Releford
Could have a nice game. Or he could keep passing it to the ref and making other boneheaded plays. Who knows.
by KennyGregoryRockThaCradle on Mar 7, 2009 4:05 PM CST reply actions
He's yet to make a bonehead play so far today.
So, let’s at least wait until it happens now to punish him for that.
At least give him a shot. That’s all I’m asking for.
Self may have no choice but to play him.
Tyrel is just too over-matched physically against Texas. At least Travis can make them work a little more. He’ll be scary though.

Holy hell
Central Arkansas only scored 7 points in the first half Wednesday night against Stephen F. Austin. That’s crazy.

In other interesting SFA news...
they won a game 112-111 in triple OT earlier this year against North Dakota St. NDSU was led by Ben Woodside, who scored 60 points. At one point the score was 20-2 in favor of SFA.

Danger time.
Texas is currently shooting 57% from the field. We haven’t given up anything over 50% since the season-opener last year against UL-Monroe.
Last Big 12 team to shoot over 50%?
Kevin Durant and the Longhorns who came up to Lawrence, the last time Texas played @ Kansas.
I’m worried.
who won that game?
oh that’s right, we did!

Kieffer is worse than his brother.
It’s crazy.
MC is developing, and Kieffer seems to be stagnating.
At least Smash is starting to play well, again. Gotta hit these throws.
We just need to get over the hump and lead, even for only a second.
We never could quite take the lead against Texas Tech, and it killed us. They always had just a sliver of momentum left.
We need to go up and take the lead. If we do, I’ll be a helluva lot more confident.
very true...the hardest part sometimes is getting over that hump

That was a charge.
But I’ll take the no call with the fast break.
Would have been awesome if he just could have hit the shot too, though.

Seems like w/Balbay...
instead of hedging the screen our guard should just drop under…he’s not a threat to shoot and that eliminates him from splitting our defenders left and right
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
we were ate up whenever we hedged in the first half.
Finally adjusted.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
I guess they called that an advantage for us with the turnover,
but how the hell was that not a foul?
Releford should have passed that.
Shit. Now he has to shoot FTs. Another wasted possession…

Partly, yeah.
I think next year, combining that with an entire summer of Coach Danny Manning constantly in their year, they are going to be AWESOME. I mean, AWESOME.
For now, though, we’ll have to deal with their inconsistency.
yup
the most important thing this summer will be for the morrises to just hit the gym and make themselves into goddamn machines
Damn.
That was our chance to take a lead.
Hopefully he misses the freebies.
Marcus is playing awesome, though. Markieff, on the other hand, isn’t paying attention and is taking random threes. Sit his ass on the bench.
Oh, and sit Tyrel. He is providing little, if anything, right now besides that HUGE clutch three.
And, finally, Cole is just getting worked by Pittman. On both sides of the floor. If there was ever a case to be made that he isn’t ready for the NBA, today is it. Imagine him up against Shaq…he’d get wrecked.
"markieff, on the other hand, isn't paying attention and is taking random threes..."

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Shit.
I’m actually really down on this game, right now.
Markieff is playing terrible, but Marcus has 4 fouls and Cole is already incredibly tired.
Honestly, I’d try and steal some minutes with Smash and Quintrell out there. Just see if we can’t keep it close, and let Cole get a break. Because we really need him down the stretch strong.
Cole is a step slow all game long tired or not...
I just don’t think he has it today
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
why not go with mcmorris if cole needs a breather anyways?
you figure even if he can avoid fouling out til the next tv timeout he’s already served his purpose, and we’re gonna need him eventually anyways cuz hes had a good game
I think they'll give McMorris a few minutes rest before he comes back.
He has played a lot.

Huge.
We needed those two misses by James, badly.

Thanks for the thread compliment.
Today has been a bunch a bunch a bunch of fun.

Again, though, a Texas-Kansas game was awesome.
They really showed up to play in the first half, and were winning by 14 (!!!) at one point. Damn, what a comeback.
And, again, thanks to both Bechard and Kleinmann. Both are just the best.
Gah
That was a satisfying win. I’m really growing to enjoy these UT games, but that might be because we win so many of them…
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
I almost did -
but the last time I came back in a close game, we got blown out. I wasn’t taking any chances…
The Snozberries taste like Snozberries
Game MVP?
Is it okay if I say Morningstar? He drained clutch threes and locked down their best player.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
Yes.
He’d be up there.
Marcus Morris also played awesome, and Kieffer had himself some really nice plays in the second half.
Sherron also played really well for stretches, just had way too many stupid turnovers.
McMorris
was really good and he helped keep things together when they got scary looking, but Brady was the dagger today. His defense alone puts him in the conversation. He played phenomenal.

Holy hell.
Comment from over at Burnt Orange Nation.
“Morningstar is an average defender at most. abrams moves are way too simple”

I think everyone else left.
It’s awful quiet in here….

Just watching basketball.
I’m about to run, though, actually.
It’s a downtime in CBB, so now’s my chance to get something semi-productive done, and get back in time to watch BBall the rest of the day.
Werd.
I really should finish studying, but the idea of writing down the lyrics to the Fresh Prince theme song as the answer to my exam question is too funny for me to take this seriously.

I needed to give my fingers a break.
Road trips are easy for me. Just get Bruce Springsteen’s 1975-1985 live release and play it a couple times(It’s must be 5 hours long) Of course I’m older & a Springsteen fan. I still remember when he played rock music. Instead of the dumbass superbowl halftime crap. You’re probably wanting music from this century however.

I love Springsteen
and that SB performance hurt my heart. That was such a bummer.

It seemed like he and the band were drinking all day:
And made up something on the spur of the moment. At least I hope so. That was lame beyond belief.

Just wait until KC shows up.
He and Warden should be amped after seeing that game at AFH.

Cannot.
Am leaving in ~22 minutes.

Showed up around 10:15.
It’s 11:40 and I’ve read through the Daily thread, OGT #1, and OGT #2. Commented here and there on a few things. I also rec’d a ton of comments.
It also took me 4 beers to get through.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Hahaha
Excellent.

That didn't go where I wanted.
Oh well, a little stat-padding never hurts.
