Texas Hoops vs. Texas Tech: Post Mortem

Good point on the defense.

I saw somewhere on BON that Mason and Balbay have two of the highest pluses on a plus/minus floor analysis of the team. It has be from the defense.

Well…that’s pretty succinct I suppose, but Bradley for Abrams is still a big improvement.
I think the rest of the team has improved on offense.
It did look like we saw some of your Duke-style small ball with Johnson in the game. The rise in 3 guard lineups is somewhat alarming given that it failed to produce in the later tournament levels, but then it’s clearly been more effective than the alternatives.
Gary Johnson has been invaluable to the team this season with rebounding. He and Damion James look like they just keep re-taking “defensive rebounding 101” with Moses Malone every semester.

I’m definitely not thinking National Title anymore. Last night seemed good on offense, but the defense not so much.

I saw the J’Covan post lay-up pose and wondered what the fuck he was doing. Kid has definitely regressed in the mental department during the season. Hell, one time he dribbled down the floor and nearly lost the ball 5 or 6 times. I hope we get the pieces back together, but signs aren’t good right now. We’ll find out what we’re made of over the next two weeks.

Brown isn’t playing defense, isn’t taking care of the ball, and is shooting like shit. Other than that he’s been great.

Actually that goes for Hamilton too.

He saved our bacon this game, along with Barnes’ ingenious tweak to go to a 3-2 double low post look on offense designed to get Damion posted up on Tech’s weak frontcourt. Many of James’ point blank post looks were off of a block to block cross screens from Dexter Pittman that led to a 12-20, 28 point explosion.

I love it when you talk dirty.

Nice recap. Still a lot of concerns on defense with basic shit like staying in front of the ball. Tech shot the ball lights out but most of them were uncontested. Our defense was nasty to start the season and has been on a steady slide, much like HenryJames when he discovered Chicas Bonitas one day walking down the I-35 access road.

Vash, wait, is that a real place?

Tech’s 3s though were mostly on slow recovery defense and screens 3-4 feet behind the 3pt. line. Even with that consideration 8-11 is pretty lights out shooting.
2nd half they were 1-8 from behind the arc so closing out improved, but really I thought Texas stayed in front of guys pretty well except Singletary. There was a lot of small lineups on the court that don’t have an eraser back there to cover mistakes, one of the little ways that we really miss Atchley.
I seem alone in really liking the prospects of Clint Chapman. I like his eraser-potential and I think he has maybe the best back-to-the-basket skills on the team unless you count weighing 290 lbs. with good feet as a skill.

Agreed on Chapman. I’d like to see him play more.

I’m not sure how Barnes’ does it. He took a tough, hard-nosed player like Mason and turned him into an unsure, no confident shell of his former self. Justin Mason shot 40% from 3 point land as a freshman on 88 attempts. Read that sentence again. 40fuckingpercent. He has shot 20% from threes as a junior and senior.

He has now gotten so far into the heads of Hamilton and Brown that I’m not sure when they could possibly recover. Brown was a hyper competitive, uber confident player at the start of the year. Now? Lacksadaisical doesn’t begin to describe it. It’s like he doesn’t give a shit. He’s lost all confidence to the point that making a layup makes him want to rip his shirt off and run up into the stands like Tripps mentioned. Personally, at this point, I would laugh my ass off if he did.

Hamilton? 6-8. Pure shot. Good handle, good passer. If high-schoolers were draft eligible, he would have gone top 15 for sure in last years draft. Now? Completely lost, clueless, flashes brilliance then plays like a kid that just has no fucking idea what he is supposed to be doing.

Congrats, Rick. Impressive work. I appreciate what he has done, but we need a TJ to tell him to back the fuck off. For all TJ’s greatness, his greatest accomplishment was to get Rick out of the kids heads and let them play with confidence.

Oh it’s a real place all right. But using the word “chicas” in its title is kind of like calling a fat “slim.” Trannies man. Pre and post.

Overlooked possibly in Mason’s game was his putrid FT shooting.

CMON MAN

Rick Barry style free throws, imo

Chapman has sick ability. Rick has mind fucked him into submission. An assistant coach for Texas told me two years ago that Chapman had as much talent as any big in the country. That the shit he could do in practice was unreal.

I’ve been waiting to see it in a game, but Rick has mind melded him I guess. Regardless, he is our best backup big. But, he still doesn’t play.

I’ll try not go complete Ransom Stoddard, but as you can see, I am disgusted with how this year is developing.

The Balbay/Mason offensive explosion was the biggest surprise I have seen all year long, even if it is a one game occurrence.

Hearing Barnes talk all season long, he kept emphasizing that Mason needed to be more aggressive and play like he did in practice. Could it be that the Mason we saw tonight is the Mason he has been watching in practice? While you can’t rely on anyone to consistently put up 8-12 from the field, it wasn’t like he was just shooting jumpers. He was the open man (as he has been most the year) on the floor and as his defender closed out he blew past them.

We have had driving lanes all year long (Varez Ward would be feasting) but for the most part our guys have tried to shoot threes over it. We struggled against A&M CC because we shot every open three we had and clanked most of them. Against CU we had just as many open looks but drove to the basket instead and scored 30 more points doing so.

Using Mason in the post can work against a lot of teams, especially after a switch. He is short but he has good weight. Often, that matters more when on the block. Having Mason post up and finding Balbay for an open jumper was one of the most disorienting things I have seen all year long!

Mason and Balbay don’t have to be threats to hit jumpers as long as they are attacking the paint. 13-20 from the field, 4-10 from the line, 11 boards 11 assists to 2 turnovers combined is a great statline. Yeah, they suck at the line, but they are drawing fouls and helping draw defenders which opened up dimes to Pittman and James. Getting Pittman involved in playing basketball for us is key to a final four run.

The answer is our defense, I’m talking "team" defense, sucks out loud.

Be careful. Back in the day when I suggested such blasphemy, SLX attacked every fiber of my basketball knowledge simply because I didn’t treat the comments like my own personal blog and cite enough reasoning.

Overall, it may be time to start ratcheting down expectations for this club. As Bartoncreek so aptly put it last night in the open thread, it seems like we’ve traded Avery Bradley for AJ Abrams and that’s the only difference between 2009 and 2010. I’m starting to agree.

Semi-agree with the first sentence. You guys don’t look like the team I thought you’d be, but it’s still January and even the elites have major flaws. And I don’t agree with the second sentence…that’s the trade you made in the starting lineup, but last year you couldn’t bring a Hamilton, Brown or Lucas off the bench…and that doesn’t even account for the improvement by Damion James. You’re definitely improved; your freshmen have just hit a little wall – as has X Henry – but we aren’t as reliant on him game to game as you are with your class.

Mason was a Palo Duro Don. Your boi JD Lewis was the AHS Sandie.

Honna, good call. When I played we beat Palo Duro so bad that I suppose I have a mental block with typing anything good about them.

I talked to someone close to certain members of the team earlier, and they told me that Mason and Balbay got the green light last night. They weren’t encouraged to seek their shot, they were finally allowed to. I thought it was an intereting distinction.

Trips,

Yes, it’s where the old Crazy Lady was on 38 1/2 & I-35. CLASSY joint. But there’s a good new BBQ joint place around the corner called Franklin’s.

The problem is that Hamilton, Brown and Lucas suck. Damion has elevated his game, Dex has gone backwards. I fail to see where we are much different from last year at this point. I like AB better than AJ, but that’s just nitpicking. It’s not like losing AJ is a huge bonus. Barnes has done a terrible job this year. There is no other way to spin it.

Why do players keep wanting to come here if he mindfucks them into oblivian? I agree with everything but I wouldn’t want to go somewhere like that.\

“Fools gold” was my exact description immediately after the game.

Give James all the deserved accolades and put him in the conversation for POY but the heart and soul of this team is Balbay. He is worth the price of the high blood pressure. Every time he hits the floor I wince in anticipation he’s not gonna get up. He may be the grittiest player in the B12.

If the net result from this 3-2 offense is Mason and Balbay with an all out assault on the rim neither one of them is going to make it to March and our team FT % will drop to the low 50’s.

High point: watching Balbay measure his steps on the TT breakaway.
Low point: watching J’Covan recover the block and butcher the 3 on 2

Saturday Baylor’s gonna tell us alot about where we’re going.

Look, I’m not usually this much of an apologist, but it must be said. We just started conference. We’re ranked #6 nationally.

Yes, some of our freshmen are struggling. They are freshmen. It happens.

Yes, Dex has not been the force that we all hoped he would be. But he’s never been consistent and this is just more of the same.

All I’m saying is that the sky hasn’t fallen. We still suck against zones, but we always have as long as Barnes has been our coach. Remember Syracuse? But, we have a lot of talent and we have some good wins this season. We also have time to round back in shape. I’d rather skuffle along a little bit now and have a chance at righting the ship than have it happen in March.

I tend to think the easy analysis of any player regressing or not living up to their potential is that Barnes is mindfucking them. This is compounded by praising any incoming player as the next great thing and/or one and done, so if they don’t meet they hype it must be a mindfuck.

Remember coming into the season when Hamilton was an elite lock down defender? Barnes mindfucked him out of that.

Trips, I like Barnes but he is a defensive “coach” , we completed 20 games on our schedule and he has not been able to teach weakside defense to Hamilton and Brown ??? Is this coaching? Sit them until they learn but having them play and afraid to make a mistake is not a better option.

There has to be a balance of ass kicking and reassurance that JH and CJB are players because they see themself as players.

Totally agree with Barton C. two posts and let me tell you that when Chapman was in HS he was a total stud, but weak. I would see him play and while not dominating the game he was just unreal with his skill set for a 17 yr. old. Not tough enough for Barnes to play, I question that.
This reminds me of a couple of years ago when this kid was talking about coming to Texas and playing for Barnes and why Barnes did not offer him. Not tough enough for Barnes. Kid ends up in Virginia Sly Landsberg (SP) avg. around 20 points, very nice 2-3 man, freshmen player of the conference and a very good defender. Burns my ass every time I read about him.

I agree that Mason needs to produce some offense and if he has regained his Soph. “Swagger” and shoots well then he needs to play. Balbay has to stay on the floor 25-32 minutes for us to be very good. Having Dex and James set screens and switch blocks is a standard play used by most teams but it takes us 20 games to use it ???

I hope that we have turned the offense corner and now we can improve our defense and make it a weapon again.

One last shot “only difference between 2009 and 2010” one other difference is that we have a ton of talent and more “Players” but we have been looking like 2009.
What could cause that to happen ??
I still am high about Dog’s offense but that is a part of him that has been shut down. He always had offensive moves and a balance approach before defense became his main focus…..

If we look back several years we see players coming in that are players, hard nosed offensive players. Physically gifted to be great defensive players. When you make defense the most important part of basketball for playing time then other parts of their game suffers.

When players are afraid to make a mistake and after a turn over look over to the bench to see a sub coming in for them they stop being physically gifted players and become robotic.
 
They have to think instead of rely on their instincts as gifted players. They react a split second late. Then they start to react to being taken out because they screwed up which takes a toll on the fragil mental state of players. Players that have been judged by their years as an offensive weapon. It does have an effect on players some react different,
Like Ivy who used it to go to the next level some go into a shell and do nothing.

 Mindmeld / mindfuck its all the same and it effects players to different degrees, real simple.
A confident player makes plays that win games, mind fucked players do not.

I was wondering about the pluses for Mason/Balbay. The offense just plain looks better when they’re both on the floor. Maybe because with the Mason/Balbay/Bradley combination, we can run the floor more effectively and if we don’t run we at least run a competent offensive set.

Not having ESPNU (Comcast sucks) I am left to guess that Mason and Balbay are just much better screeners than our other guards. Balbay, from what I have seen, is just much more competent at taking the ball into the paint than anyone else. If he could hit his foul shots, it would be a real bonus.

“The good news is that one of this season’s great mysteries has been solved. The bad news is that it was right in front of our very eyes and we couldn’t figure it out.”

It always seemed straight forward Mason and Balbay were playing because of their D and that they don’t jackup bad shots, and Balbay is a natural point guard. You don’t need 5 O stars to construct a good O, but with man D it is more like you are as strong as your weakest link (especially if your weakest link does not understand help D).

The real mystery is why Barnes will not tweak his offense to rescue Dex from double teams. He has gone part way by having Balbay and Mason attack the rim but he needs to have the other non outside shooter (without the ball) to set a screen somewhere useful so that his defender cannot sink into the paint. For example, Dex can set a screen at the high post for Balbay or Mason and then roll to the bucket. The weakside screen could be for Damion to either follow in and attack the rim or shoot the open jumper.

After 5 Big 12 games, Dex is averaging less than 5 shots per game.

In Big 12 play, Balbay is hitting .615 of his throws. There is hope.

I agree with you SkyMonkey, and there is some truth to Barnes’ approach to players being too tough. There is just too much piling on that same reason for any ill, most notably when fans expectations of the players abilities aren’t accurate.

There have been a slew of players over the years that seemed to have no offensive limitations on the floor, nor look over their shoulder at all. What is the difference between PJ Tucker and Jordan Hamilton in that sense? I don’t know.

As is frequently true, we were told by some on here that the freshmen were all NBA first rounders, destined for the hall of fame. Now, after only 2 months, the truth is revealed. Seriously, I would trade for that Roberson kid from Tech for any of our guards. In fact, I would trade all our guards for him. And, how anyone could watch Hamilton for more than 4 minutes and pronounce him ready for the NBA, as some on here did, is totally baffling. He doesn’t do anything well. There are at least 30 freshmen in the country who are better than him—hell, there may be 10 freshmen in the Big 12 who are better than him. And I am still looking for someone to tell me what Lucas brings to this team: mediocre handle, poor shooter, horrible defense.

I’m trying not to go complete Bartoncreek here but this team does not have nearly the talent we were told it does preseason. And I agree that Barnes is not coaching them up very well.

I lost track of ransom’s half-truths and exaggerations somewhere around 8.

Maybe Barnes is not totally to blame for screwing up Brown.

Brown has an inherently difficult situation. He is naturally a shooting guard, he is used to generating his own shot and does it well. To switch to a true point guard mentality (focusing first on getting shots for others) is not a trivial switch. Brown has the dribbling and passing skills of a point guard but not the natural inclination. Compounding this problem is that Brown has to switch between PG and SG, two really different positions.

Another serious challenge for Brown is dealing with the downward slope of his PT this year. He was a starter at the beginning of the season but now he is sub to the rising stars Balbay and Bradley. The arrival of Lucas means even less PT for Brown.

This a lot of stuff for a frosh to deal with.

Does anyone else fear the potential of some kind of Woody Hayes moment for J’Covan?

Very good recap, Trips. Thanks. I’m not ready to make the jump that we’re last year’s team with a AB for AJ trade. This team is much better just with the massive improvements of Damion and Dogus, not to mention AB brings a better and more rounded game. We’re more talented and better.

That said, our defense is the most troubling situation and I very much agree that the two freshman (both of whom sat out last year from competitive basketball) have “poor to OMFG you suck” defensive skills and awareness. I also agree with some that they’re struggling with their confidence. I’ve thought for a long time that JH is more important to this team’s sucess then JCB. If we need to, we can get by with Jai as the back up point guard, but Hamilton is our only true wing player that can score, rebound, and create his own shot that’s wrapped in a package that’s 6’4" or bigger (other then DJ). As I stated in last night’s open thread, I’d love to begin starting JH over Mason. Let Mason be that invaluable 6th man off the bench. Jordan may not feel the pressure to jack up 5 shots in the first two minutes he’s in.

I also agree that we need to see more of Chapman. We’re going to need him when we go up vs. team’s that have size like Kansas and tourney teams. I’m very scared to think what Syracuse’s 2-3 zone would do to us right now if Mason and Dogus are on the floor and that’s not meant to be an affront to them, just their lack of shooting prowess…

Wow. Kick ass hoops talk and trannies.

Great blog.

“I lost track of ransom’s half-truths and exaggerations somewhere around 8.”

I don’t know nordberg. I usually agree with you on just about everything, but in this case I didn’t see anything particularly inaccurate or overblown that ransom said :-/

I think all the hand-wringing is a bit excessive. Hamilton didn’t play last year and is now a freshman learning off the ball defense. We are shocked that he hasn’t adjusted from AAU highlight making to team defense in half a season? There are guys in the NBA making millions who haven’t been taught or convinced how to do that. Barnes failure to turn Hamilton into Bruce Bowen isn’t pushing me towards starting firerickbarnes.com yet.
Chapman could be the starting center next year, if we dont go small with Thompson and Gary, but I’m okay with not forcing him on the court too much because the team can win now and worry about that later. I wonder if he’s one of those body types that just doesn’t put on weight cause he looks as skinny as ever but he can finish over guys and has some shot-blocking potential.

To me .. Normally ransom’s football comments make me want to vomit… but he is dead on about our basketball team right now… They are a very average team that has good depth and wear inferior teams down… When we play equally athletic teams we get exposed on defense and our offense looks retarded.
 
The main problem is when we play athletic bigs, Pittman becomes a non-factor, every team goes right at him and he’s got 2 fouls before we’ve hit the 16 minute mark and mentally he shuts down.

Barnes has these kids wound tight as shit, they aren’t having fun anymore and they are lost on offense which makes them lose interest in playing defense. Anytime your hitting shots and getting pumped up, it makes you want to smack the floor and get all in your man’s shit on the defensive side.

Here’s to finding away to get pittman back to playing with confidence, and seeing bradley help James on the offensive side of the ball.

I still have very high hopes for this team, but instead of cutting down the nets, I’ve made my way back to elite 8 hopes….

I can’t really fault any fan who is too enthusiastic at the beginning of the season. Jordan and Brown could still turn out to be awesome players, maybe even this season. SLX said that Jordan has a learning disability (something like attention deficit disorder). Who knows, maybe with the right medicine, Jordan rapidly becomes all world.

Having too much enthusiasm is not a bad problem to have.

“They are a very average team that has good depth and wear inferior teams down… When we play equally athletic teams we get exposed on defense and our offense looks retarded.”
Really? Like MIchigan State? Or North Carolina? It’s not athleticism that’s exposing our defense it’s execution. Tech isn’t crazy athletic, they just move and screen well without the ball.
This is really all a bit much for a team that has won 17 of 19 games. This isn’t a bad team, it’s still one of the better teams Barnes has had.

I think we are going to be better in March than we are now. And that looking back on this hand-wringing is going to be interesting. Let’s just enjoy the ride with a young team.

Y’all are right, that win might as well have been a loss. Wait, what? We lost two games so far this year. Two out of twenty. That aint too shabby. So maybe we’re not a title team, we don’t know for sure yet. Let’s step back from the ledge for just a moment and consider the context of all things. Trips’ evaluation sounds right on, but it doesn’t mean we need to freak out and cry foul that we were told one thing and another happened. It’s no one’s fault that the freshman ended playing like… lets say… freshman.

As Nickel Rover pointed out, Hamilton didn’t play competitive ball for his whole senior year. The kid was bound to be a walking And 1 clone for at least the first half if not this whole season. Was it just two weeks ago many were praising “Big Balls Brown” for his clutch shooting and “feel” for when to step up?

I’ve been as disappointed as anyone, believe me. I was convinced after MSU that, FT’s aside, we were the 1996 Bulls minus Jordan. Let’s not give up hope quite yet though…

And hey, if Barnes pulls this together we’ll know that he’s on par to be the next Wooden. If not, we’ll fire his ass and get Phil Jackson. I hear the triangle offense is easy as pie…

Something else we are missing from last year is Conner Atchley’s solid screens.

One thing I have noticed is that every time I see a ref make a bad call against the Horns the camera cuts to Rick Barnes and instead of blasting the refs, he is ripping into his players. Most top coaches work the refs to their advantage. I don’t see that with Barnes, and I think it’s a disadvantage.

Also, as mentioned by others the immediate substitutions when a mistake is made (even by leaders like James) creates players that are afraid to make mistakes. Leads to standing around and watching IMO.

We have the players to make a run at the championship this year, let’s see if Barnes can adjust like Mack did a few years ago.

This thread is hilarious. Clint Chapman’s problem is Clint Chapman, not Rick Barnes.

Also hilarious: The idea that Rick Barnes is responsible for Jordan Hamilton’s poor year. Are you even watching?

True. It’s Shawn Williams’ fault.

What part of saying we are an Average team with great depth and the ability to wear teams down isn’t true. We can’t shoot , we don’t have a legit three point shooter, we can’t hit a foul shot if our children’s lives depended on it, we can’t play defense away from the ball, we don’t have a legit big man outside of Pittman (who can’t stay on the court more than 5 minutes at a time). We win games because of superior depth and conditioning.

Your comment about execution is correct that is what’s beating us… But we are the exact same team that we have been all year.. It’s just in the games we got beat , the other teams didn’t wear down against us. We have played like shit in the first half of most games even against really bad teams… But in the 2nd half we wear them down and our offense looks like it’s executing because the other team is to tired to play defense. UNC is a joke, that win means nothing. Beating Pitt and Mich St are Very impressive wins, but if we played Mich St tomorrow, you can’t honestly say we would beat them again because they are playing like a different team than when we beat them.

This isn’t just a problem that showed up against a good K-ST team this was happening against almost everybody. We made Corpus Christi , A&M, and Iowa St look like top 10 teams.

 I love this team and I will scream and tell myself we will beat baylor on saturday and beat KU when they come to town and when I fill out a bracket I’ll take us all the way out.. But to say that we are anything more than elite 8 good is being unreasonable.

We are 18-2. We have beaten one very good MSU team at home. We beat a depleted Pitt. team on a netral site. That’s two wins over tourney teams. We beat two bubble teams in North Carolina and A&M.

Our last 8 games with the opponents Sagarin rating:
A&M CC 145- Easily our worst showing of the season
Arky 159- They are a terrible team, we played like garbage give up 85 to them
Colorado 103- Another terrible team, we give up 86 to them
Iowa State 81- Close game throughout, KU drills ISU at Ames the next week
A&M 48- Win in OT at home against a bubble team that outplayed us for most of the game
KSU 8- Lose by 9 on road against a good team, maybe the best we played over this stretch and it wasn’t good. At all.
UCONN 42- Get dismantled in the 2nd half by a 8-11 seed. Outscored by 24 in last 16 minutes. Just a horrible performance
Tech 70- Trail at half to a team with major injury/personnel problems. Another abysmal performance

That’s 8 straight in which the best we played was below average. The sky is not falling, we are 18-2 and a tourney lock. But, if you look at the schedule, we are just not very good at this point. Can we be? Sure. Will we be? Objectively, it doesn’t look promising.

Thank you for saying what Im trying to say more clearly… haha

I actually like the cut of you jib, barton. Concise and honest.

“We can’t shoot , we don’t have a legit three point shooter, we can’t hit a foul shot if our children’s lives depended on it, we can’t play defense away from the ball, we don’t have a legit big man outside of Pittman (who can’t stay on the court more than 5 minutes at a time). We win games because of superior depth and conditioning.”

A lot of college teams don’t have legit big men except for X. Most college teams don’t have legit big men at all. Many national champions don’t have NBA caliber low-post guys.
James, Johnson and Pittman are all shooting better than 50% on the year (50%, 57%, 68%).
In the backcourt Bradley is shooting 47%, Balbay 48%, Mason 47%. Brown and Hamilton aren’t shooting at great clips but I don’t think anyone doubts their abilities to do so, their just freshman.
Ken Pomeroy ranks Texas as the 11th best defense in the country. That’s not quite terrible considering the problems with help defense rotations. Bradley, Mason, Balbay, Pittman, James are all good M2M defenders.
And I’m not sure what’s wrong with winning games with consistent effort, that seems like something that can always be counted on. Anyways, I’m confident that things will pick up as conference play progresses.

Barton,

I don’t disagree that the team is going through a rough stretch right now. But the team also relies, heavily, on three true freshman for production and spark. The whole reason why everyone was so excited this year had to do with meshing those 3 with James and Pittman. So we need to see if that’s going to happen. Because if it does then we go deep.

I said this earlier this year and still think it true. If Brown, AB, and Hamilton all three come around then we are a final four team. If two of them come around then we are an elite eight team. If none of them improve then we will lose our second tourney game to a SEC school. So that’s the key, as far as I can tell.

They’ve been giving up 80+ more often than not for the last six weeks. They’re a high-tempo team, but that’s not all of it. I got the same vibe as Trips. This D needs Balbay and Mason. Hamilton and Brown can’t score enough to cover their mistakes.

But it’s not time to panic.

They’re 20th in the country in FG percentage. That ain’t bad. And they’ve dragged the 3-point percentage to the top half. I wouldn’t send Balbay and Mason out to play HORSE or anything, but this is all right.

They can’t let Baylor light them up, though.

“we can’t hit a foul shot if our children’s lives depended on it,”

Pretty sure it would be a lot harder for me to hit a foul shot under those circumstances. :)

Look, Tech barely got by UTEP last year (this season) with some questionable calls. UTEP fucked ou up at their place.

This season a LOT of shit stands to go down in March. Texas shouldn’t worry too much about seedings as they/we will have at the lowest a 3 seed no matter what happens during the rest of the season.

“Amarillo Sandies”

Blow, Sandies, Blow
