Cam has zero defensive instincts.

We might still cover the spread 11 1/2 haha

66-50 under 4 timeout. It's almost over gang.

Tyler Neal will be a pretty good player though.

He really will be. Sweet stroke and decent size. Picks up silly fouls on defense but that should improve with experience.

Hey, at least we got to 50 this time...

Honore rewarded for his great play Saturday by getting in with 40 seconds left.

Capel's radio comments after the game

They are very good, as good as anyone in college basketball. Playing at a very high level.

We didn't shoot the ball well enough, our transition defense wasn't good enough.

The second half our defense played better, but it was too much to make up.

Competed well in the second half. Tyler Neal played well.

We had 5 or 6 shots roll in or out. But Texas played really good. Hamilton was a player of the year type year. Tristen Thompson is really good. Balbay is the engine that makes them go.

To beat Texas you have to make shots and play much better.

We play a very good Missouri team Saturday so we have to make sure and get our legs ready.

That's basically it.

Seriously? You really want Barry Honore to get significant minutes? Wow.

I could have sworn that I saw Honore in the 1st half...

I agree. His light is coming on. He will be a salty player in the next few yrs.
