NCAA Sweet 16: #4 Seed OU vs #1 Seed South Carolina 4pm 3/28

[CoachTalk]

Texas. (Have)
Beat
Michigan -#9 team in the country… (wanna be)

36 POINTS!

Now tell me it’s not exactly what I explained the other day.

You need Chavez, Williams, plus 4 more Williams types and another Chavez type as a wing if you want to be a big dawg.

We are a small dawg. And that’s ok. That’s our budget.

Give geno this roster and he’s still a small dawg.

Good grief. I’m not a troll. I care about the future of this team. Disagree all you want. You’ll see.

I thought you made some valid points. If you post something some on here disagree with, they label you a troll. Your opinion means as much or as little as anyone of us.

Don't think they are a troll either, but the criticism of Chavez not being a star in the making was something I disagree with completely along with saying the coaching staff screwed Reagan and Payton.

Need to build up this roster with more athletes and better shooters from 3. Need 2 centers too.

Yes. That’s what I said. We made the entire year about a freshman, and she never shot efficiently. Will she get better? Sure. We gave her the green light to shoot us out of games and try to win by herself. Which in turn, caused others to hunt for their shots. Look at first half of Sweet 16 again. You have a Beers and Verhulst, then you use them. Raegan’s draft stock is based on numbers too. More times than not, the ball was in the air before Raegan was able to set up. I don’t blame Chavez for this, she’s a freshman. And I think she improved with that as the year went on, until they faced a tough opponent. The coaches have an obligation to the entire team to correct that. You all say the players don’t seem to mind, but I can guarantee you they do and did. Efficiency matters And teammates care if you’re only shooting 5-20. We’ll lose some because of it. And If Chavez leaves, people will say it’s because the coaches didn’t recruit better players around her. She knew the system and roster before she came and wanted to be the main player. I think the young lady is great, but a blind man can see what is going on. And I don’t think 4 years in an Oklahoma jersey was ever her father’s plan. There’s no loyalty to the name on the jersey anymore. Maybe that’s what makes me less of a fan, because I care About the the Big Picture and the Future. Save this and you’ll be coming back to it.

Discipline is not our problem the wide talent gulf between us and the top 4-6 is the problem.

 

[CoachTalk]

Not one post. The last 2 years is evidence

I do hope we hit the portal hard for posts and older shooters, Chavez stays, the rest stay and we get big athletic guards who know how to run the system that isn’t going to change. I think if she gets those kind of players, the system can work with defense by quicker guards. I’m not disappointed making the sweet 16, although I seem negative. I’ve been through the worst of seasons in every sport. Maybe I’m a grump but I care about these athletes. Maybe I need to close my ears more around me.

I agree with you. A little. I personally do not want no senior shooter. I want players we can have a couple of years with, not 1 and done. I think we have to get 4 players out of the portal. 2 bigs and two Guards. Maybe 1 guard honestly. But we definitely need more than 1 bigs without questions.
