[MeowingCows]

Shortest guard on their team dribbles directly into a Bolton-Solo double. What exactly did you expect to do there, again?

 

[jaj040]

Didn't realize Allen Lazard and Georges Niang were the same person

Ever seen them at the same place at the same time?

Lets atleast wait until we actually win before we start multiple repeat national titles, even in years when college basketball is good talk again

FIFY.

 

[Carnegie]

There's a lot of game left. A short break here and there ain't hurting anything, we need some for the second half too.

Nice pass to and drive to bucket by Bolton, although he always shoots a left handed layup with his right hand.

 

[Lafaester54]

Defense has been really solid and we’re getting the ball inside, I like it.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Im curious if the number of FTs attempted has gone up on average this year, extending more games.

It used to at least be like a minute or so left, but several of the games before us this year have been with like 4 minutes left.

 

[MeowingCows]

Bolton, buddy, gotta finish that one. Not your best performance.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Bolton just had panic attack at the rim lol

 

[madguy30]

Conditt's got a little more pep in the step today.

I’m definitely glad we have 1 more year of Solomon.

He actually needs to settle down a bit today, not real consistent so far. Had some good cuts at times but the shots and passing has been iffy.

I’m definitely glad we have 1 more year of Solomon.

He's come a long way from where he was pre-injury.

 

[Crookedhatkid]

Texas is absolutely horrible.

 

[Bocy]

Hmm...that close-up of Solo...He needs to work on his beard game. It's a bit of a mess.

 

[madguy30]

Perhaps we're seeing some growth from CSP--emphasizing Young instead of using the post as someone to pick up top.

 

[Urbandale2013]

I’ve pretty much checked out of this season but Solomon Young is clearly the best player on this team now that Halliburton is out.

 

[cyclo120]

Nice half, good game plan, let’s see if we can put another half together.

 

[Bocy]

Yikes there, Jackson. Yikes..

 

[cyclones500]

Halftime.

I've seen worse.

 

[MeowingCows]

Grill comes 2 inches long of making the opposite FT line heave off the steal. Dead-center, just a touch long.

Not a great last 3 minutes, but I don't have a whole lot else to complain about. Jacobson is having a good day, Solo is having a normal day for himself. Guards don't have much in the statbook, but haven't been asked to do a whole lot with the posts carrying the team offensively. Defense overall hasn't been bad, not good, but not bad -- buoyed some by some bad UT shooting.

POTG so far is certainly Solo, who has been awesome both offensively and defensively.
