Don’t sleep on St John’s in the tournament. They may be the second best team in the Big East right now.

by Trips Right on Feb 19, 2011 12:33 PM CST reply actions  

Of course a guy with a name like Doc Sadler is going to be crafty. It was preordained.

Here we go. Watch how they play Balbay, if they guard him they’re nuts.

Horrible call. He didn’t even have the rock.

looking for JCB now, theyre not letting any drives to the basket

by scagnetti on Feb 19, 2011 12:56 PM CST reply actions  

the dribble drive defense is infuriating

by scagnetti on Feb 19, 2011 12:58 PM CST reply actions  

He;s in now. Let’s see. Now that’s huge! Watch the driving lanes open up after that JCovan 3.

Shoot the ball Jordan, you’re our finisher.

hey Trips, who are the assistants on RB’s staff?
particularly the bespectacled fella on his left?

and which one is todd wright?
i gotta see what that guy looks like

JH seems to be playing a little too loose, a glimpse of last year

by scagnetti on Feb 19, 2011 1:02 PM CST reply actions  

scag, it’s either springmann or terry. Switch back and forth to st john’s pitt so I haven’t seen him.

by Trips Right on Feb 19, 2011 1:05 PM CST reply actions  

Rich Zvosek is an idiot. i covered him as a student sports editor at UMKC almost ten years ago, was the first to call for his job, and they promptly went on an 11-0 streak in january in the old Mid-Con, and was then given an extension he never finished. Matt Brown, Beliene’s old assistant is the 3rd year head coach for The Roos now.and theyre over .500 for the first time since that run in 04-05

and Mitch hultus! voice of the kansas city chiefs, smart guy… for football.

HOly shit what an ending in the St john’s game. Hardy with a length of a court drive to knock off pitt by 1. Johnnies are for real!

Just have to run our stuff and we’ll get good looks. Like to see the tempo a little quicker as well.

by Trips Right on Feb 19, 2011 1:26 PM CST reply actions  

JH needs more aggressive hands today, attack the bal when receiving it. just lazy. did he get enough sleep?
lincoln certainly allows it

Wangmene gives us nothing.

mysterious lineup for sure.

must be JHam’s new shoes thats cause for the lag in effort

by scagnetti on Feb 19, 2011 1:32 PM CST reply actions  

I know its been mentioned before, but I think Doge’s leadership on the bench has been huge. All the guy’s have been given JCB props for all his shots and I’ve seen a :) instead of the usual :( on his face today

by Grateful Horn on Feb 19, 2011 1:33 PM CST reply actions  

trips called it. JCB picks us up

by scagnetti on Feb 19, 2011 1:34 PM CST reply actions  

JCB treating Nebraska like a ball boy who’s too slow with the towel.

Not a team in America that I’m afraid of when that young man gets going.

trips whered you play in EP?
i played baseball at Coronado, graduated in 94

Hamilton is playing like he doesn’t even know what basketball is, so far.

by Garry Crowbar on Feb 19, 2011 1:37 PM CST reply actions  

Jeez, Kansas has a lot of problems staying in front of dribblers. Not a good sign.

by Trips Right on Feb 19, 2011 1:41 PM CST reply actions  

scag, I played against your boy Coppinger in high school. He was a soph, but they had two other really good players Miller and Baskins. I went to Hanks.

by Trips Right on Feb 19, 2011 1:42 PM CST reply actions  

When Hamilton struggles, we are going to struggle. Luckily, JCB decided to show up today. He is the difference right now. If Jordan heats up, we should pull away, if not, it could be a tough one. We needed a good physical test for a half. Let’s see how we react this 2nd half.

by Bartoncreek on Feb 19, 2011 1:43 PM CST reply actions  

Every time I turn it to the KU game, a CU guy is dribbling past a jayhawk. But they can shoot the shit out of the ball.

by Trips Right on Feb 19, 2011 1:44 PM CST reply actions  

I was born in El Paso, btw. My brothers went to Coronado in the late 60s-early 70s. We moved to Austin when I was one though.

by Bartoncreek on Feb 19, 2011 1:47 PM CST reply actions  

huh…
i was in EP feb 93-may94, got there just in time to catch The Rock, Rocky Coppinger, the future starting pitcher that gave up three dingers to Daryl Strawberry in game 5 of the 96 ALCS.

hanks was easily the best bball school in EP at the time

by scagnetti on Feb 19, 2011 1:54 PM CST reply actions  

I’d start going under that ballscreen because Walker doesn’t want to shoot it. That’d cure our penetration problem.

Someone needs to tell Joseph that Walker can’t shoot.

by VirginiaLonghorn on Feb 19, 2011 2:10 PM CST reply actions  

This is what I thought would happen to us early in the season against teams with big frontcourts, but we’ve done a great job of handling it to this point. These guys don’t have an ounce of skill and we’re letting them just body the fuck out of us to do whatever they want.

by nobis60 on Feb 19, 2011 2:11 PM CST reply actions  

Down 13 for the half. Gotta believe that’s the low point.

by Bandwagonbusdriver on Feb 19, 2011 2:11 PM CST reply actions  

Cory Joseph is a liability today.

by Juice on Feb 19, 2011 2:12 PM CST reply actions

by ransomstoddard on Feb 19, 2011 2:14 PM CST reply actions  

Job one from here on in needs to be fouling out Almeida – this fat fuck is having a career with bullshit hooks that he hasn’t made before or since.

by nobis60 on Feb 19, 2011 2:14 PM CST reply actions  

We need to attack this tubby bitch almeida, and foul him out. He has just dominated our prep All-American bigs…

by Grateful Horn on Feb 19, 2011 2:15 PM CST reply actions  

Gonna have to start trapping that weave, we’re alllowing them to reverse the ball on our post defenders and we can’t get around. Be nice if we could start going up and down with these cats. No way Almeida can run with us.

by NVHorn on Feb 19, 2011 2:16 PM CST reply actions  

Scag, our best lineup is Brown, Joseph, Hamilton, TT and Wanghill, but we need to be more active on the perimeter to give TT and Hill time to get position.

Its becoming increasingly obvious JCB is going to win this game for us or we are going to lose. No one else is stepping up their game.

This game reminds me of how the A&M game usually plays out. No holds barred, so the more physical team has the advantage over the more talented one.

Of course if Hamilton could hit anything that would be great.

Really poor job of Barnes and the staff of preparing for this game. NU did the same thing to KU at KU. Simple film review would have showed the goofy dribble weave offense they run and they packed in zone look on defense. Sadler is not a very good coach and the stuff he runs is grade school level. Easy to prepare for. Looks like we are hurrying to take our loss and come home.

by ransomstoddard on Feb 19, 2011 2:36 PM CST reply actions

This is nothing more than a repeat of the USC game. Everyone by now should know what kind of team is required to beat us. Deep with quality bigs that can match our toughness.

Yeah, I can’t get ESPN3 with only having RoadRunner and no cable package.

look for a steal, then a trap then a foul… please

by scagnetti on Feb 19, 2011 2:57 PM CST reply actions  

Got try to grab the ball and get a tie up there on the trap. If they call a foul so be it.

Man Doc Sadler is a whiny bitch.

Nebraska got what they needed for an upset. Poor shooting night from our starters and opportune offensive rebounds. I agreed we should have started to press earlier. I did not see this one coming. Oh well. Lets hope we learn something from this.

Our goals are all still alive. Win the big 12 and earn a high seed in the San Antonio regional. Then we hope for good matchups and some upsets.

We weren’t going to get the #1 seed anyway, not with the Ohio State AD as Chrman of the committee. We should get a #1 seed.

Also Pitt, ND, and Kansas losing too this weekend is nice.

Deep breath, Horn fans. Rather have this type of game now in the Big 12 regular season than in the NCAA tournament. This team needed this. A Physical (fat) Mugging in a 1/2 court game where we had to play from behind. Let’s hope we’re better prepared the next time we face a similar opponent, because the same recipe by an inferior opponent — see USC — is a lead pipe given. Barnes now has a ton of video at his disposal in which to provice “teachable moments.”

Really appreciate the measured response here unless other sites.

We simply had a bad game against a team who hates us. JH had the worst shooting day of the year with a lot of open looks. And with as awful as we played, we had it tied late in the game.

The undefeated season would have been nice if we were a mainly junior and senior team. This team needs to have a bit of adversity before March to continue to grow.

What’s Brown doing?

Screwing up the play. Barnes was pissed and rightfully so. Brown was supposed to kick it back to Hamilton. JH acted like a bitch right after the game. We do not need any back biting among teammates right now.

This was a “trap” game all the way. Nebraska (despite what some may think) is a pretty good team, and Doc is a good defensive coach. We got in late, got up early (this was the earliest tip off we have had in quite a while), and then got outhustled. JCB is so damn bi-polar that I can’t bear to watch. If he makes all three of those free throw I guarantee you that Nebraska would have crawled into a hole.

Oh well, it will probably help the Big 12 get 7 teams into the tournament.

Someone who dvd’d the game might be able to confirm … but, it appeared there was some bickering between Brown and a team mate as they left the floor at halftime, too.

Virginia,

That wasn’t Brown. It was his J’Cousin.

In Big 12 play, for 3 point shots, Jordan is hitting 37%, Cory is hitting 50% (!), and Brown is hitting 40%.

In Big 12 games, for free throw shooting percentages, Wangmene leads the team (!) with 87%, then Jordan with 83%, followed by Brown at 77%, then Cory with 74%.

I know we have a young team. I know we have an at times emotionally immature team. I’m not a basketball guru. But some of the shit that happened in the last minute or so of that game, was absolutely infuriating. Barnes could be the worst in-game coach of all time, and/or the players have no idea of some basic fundamentals of basketball and sports psychology.

First, we should have never been in that game at the end. Two separate occasions where we were fouled to shoot 3 three free throws.. Nebraska clearly couldn’t handle the pressure. But when diaz got the ball with around 30 seconds left off the inbound pass, he should have been fouled immediately. At that point the game was tied. Conventional wisdom would say “oh play good defense and get the ball back.” But diaz had just blown two free throws. He was a 60% free throw shooter on the season. The odds were that he was going to blow two more with even more pressure on. Instead, we fuck around for twenty seconds, let one of their better shooters get to the line and drain two free throws.

Then, with 12 seconds left, Texas decides to go for either a 10 second violation or a steal… They wasted way to much time, which gave them little time to pull off a last second shot. They should have fouled immediately.\

I love this team. I bet them 30/1 odds to win it all about a month ago. But after seeing how rattled they looked tonight, well let’s just hope we get the southwest region where we would only have to go to Tulsa, San antonio and Houston. Cause our boys looked scared and confused by a morbidly obese cornhusker (p90x bitch), and a former Cincinnati footballer.

I have been saying for a long time that I think J’Covan Blood is our best natural basketball player. The kid just looks fluid out there. Behavior problems aside, he is fun to watch. I don’t have any problem with him taking that last shot. But if the play was designed differently, the perception now is that obviously JCB is subversive for his personal glory. Or maybe it was his cousin who took the shot….

I think the angst at the end of the first half between Barnes and Joseph was all about Joseph pushing the action into the lane and drawing a foul with 30 seconds left and the shot clock off. If Texas holds for the last shot, Horns go to the half up by 9 at the worst and possibly up 11 or 12.

Instead Joseph clanked the front end of a one-and-one and Nebraska is able to cut it 7 at halftime. Who knows if that swing would have made the difference at the end of the game . . . However, this time of year every possession counts in a game like that.

Seems like Cory did that one other time earlier this year, too. Better now that in the tournament.

Ok. So now I am hooked on Barking Carnival and I have gone to the site 10 times today looking for the Trips Right Post Mortem. I listened to the game on XM Radio (no ESPN3). I could not understand how NU shredded our D with their personnel. Curious to know what Trips Right and Bob In Houston believe caused the breakdown and if other coaches can exploit the NU gameplan.

by Granite Bay Longhorn on Feb 20, 2011 5:34 PM CST reply actions  

TJ Chevy, do you honestly think there is any coach in the world who would choose to foul in a tie game with 30 seconds left and arguably the best defense in the country? Yikes…

by Diego on Feb 20, 2011 6:48 PM CST reply actions  

Any team with a 340 lb. center and heavy weight PF who can both shoulder into our bigs three times in a row and move them 10 feet will cause us problems. Don’t know how many times this happened yesterday, but it was pretty often. I was hoping to see the flop to draw the charge, but I don’t think we would have gotten the call.
