It's on the Longhorn Network for anyone who is bored. Ugly game so far, but hey....Travis Ford vs. Rick Barnes is always good for a laugh.

 

[OUHoops]

Man, this is bad. First team to 40 wins.

Another reason why the Big 12 TV contract sucks.

Every game is on ESPN, since Longhorn network is part of ESPN, ESPN is throwing the network a bone by showing this game, no way in heck would they let OU show one of their mid week home conference game on the Fox Sports partnership

 

[stormspencer]

Wow...I can't believe how the wheels have fallen off the Texas team. They were a fairly salty team in December and played Kentucky to the death in Lexington. They are as dysfunctional on offense as I have ever seen a team with their talent.

31-19 osu with just over 2 minutes left in the half.

On another note, the game thread on Shaggybevo has several gems. If you think this board can be hard on our team, take a gander at some of the comments over there....pretty bloody.

OK, the scoring pace picked up a bit. So there's that.

I'm sorry, the what network?

I don't have it, don't want it, and doesn't sound like something Longhorn fans would want either.

It's almost like UT is trying to play themselves out of the tournament.

Is Rick Barnes the worst coach in the conference?

Is Rick Barnes the worst coach in the conference?

Nope, he's the best coach in the conference. With the special ed used car salesman Ford in 2nd behind him.

Is Rick Barnes the worst coach in the conference?

It's an interesting question. He is the guy that has taken UT basketball to heights that they've never experienced (3 Elite Eights, 1 Final Four), but he is also the same coach who couldn't get out of the first weekend of the NCAAs when he had Durant and DJ Augustine.

Their guard play stinks this year and they have no outside shooters. They were able to mask that for half of the season, but they were exposed in conference...starting with us.

 

[ouboomer]

with all those wide and big players Texas has they sure struggle in half court offense..

Barnes is not the worst coach in the conference, but he is definitely in the bottom half. I have been saying that for years. Now, others are beginning to see it.

Texas is loaded with talent this year. I'll recap a post I made on another thread a couple of weeks ago. Two players on UT's roster were McDonald's All-Americans (Ridley and Myles). Six others on the team were ranked in the top 75 or higher coming out of high school (Three of that number were ranked in the top 50). That's a total of eight highly ranked players on UT's roster. How would you like to see that kind of talent at OU?

Barnes is a great recruiter. He's just not a good coach.

 

[stormspencer]

The shorthorns tie it up with 40 seconds left. osu ball coming out of the timeout. I can't decide which team is worse.

Travis Ford is making a good case for worst coach. Let's see what he draws up

Moving screen on OSU.

 

[DenverSooner]

I bet the worthless Aggies are completely melting down right now

 

[stormspencer]

Tough no call goes against osu. Taylor is then fouled on a drive before the shot with 3 seconds left.....it looked like it should've been an "and 1". Going to the line for 1 and 1.

 

[DenverSooner]

How does OSU get 2.9 in Austin. The clock was slow to start and clearly well under 2 when the ball hit the ground.

Another moving screen on OSU

Well....he is "neck and neck" with Rick Barnes for that honor. It took Barnes 38 minutes into this game to figure out that Texas' best offense is to clear out and let Taylor drive. Once that happened, Texas practically scored at will.

Thank god we have Kruger.

 

[DenverSooner]

I hope Texas wins.
