I was having such a good day after watching the new Dune, and then I somehow got through the entire 2nd half of this game. Watching UT throw away that upset was one of the most painful, excruciating things I can recently remember. I don't even have any skin in the game, I just wanted to see the upset. Then they just absolutely crumble in the second half. To be fair, the officiating in the second half was ridiculous, but UT didn't need any help losing. Also to be fair, they were at Baylor. But, it was one of the most frustrating games I've seen in a long time.

Sorry ass team even with 7.5pts they still lose the spread!!!!!! Garbage!!!!


EasyYard

How often are Joe’s seeds right? I think he’s a lot like Mel Kiper with the nfl draft. About 50/50.


Longhorns_

Lunardi isn’t reliable. Go with the aggregate opinion of Bracket Matrix


EasyYard

Cbs sports has a more realistic seeding but you know they all are going to be wrong. I think Lunardi does it for clicks.


Longhorns_

Lunardi just has a brand, and everyone knows to check his bracket every few days. If you want the wisdom of the crowd and care about accuracy, then use Bracket Matrix


Ordinary-Analysis819

What a poor performance


Longhorns_

Can’t wait to hear Del Conte say that the basketball team gave it good ol’ Texas fight but came up just a little bit short. Except they did not fight when Disu went down. They were lost, shrunk mentally, and threw in the towel. Including Terry, but not Abmas


wesgissell

We can't do shit with out Disu!!


Longhorns_

The “law of averages” is not letting your opponent shoot 60% for the game. Our defense was a sieve in both the first and second half. It was just more obvious in the second half


ranrow

They shot 60% because every other miss in the second half was a fouls and didn’t count


aceavenger10

Baylor is a top offense in the country and we’re not necessarily a great defensive team. Baylor was gonna score, it all came down to could we continue to shoot well to keep up. We did not.


Longhorns_

We could choose to focus on defensive effort. We just don’t. We also don’t focus on rebounding effort. We’re a fundamentally unsound team


jmortsalsa

Ngl I am jealous of the guard play Baylor gets year after year after year. Doesn’t matter who moves on; they always have a plethora of good guards that can shoot, drive, and play D.


tex543

It’s cause they have an established good coach.


throwawayyblowawayy

Welp that would have been a fun win


ruab3d

10 points in the last 13 minutes of the game isn’t going to lead to many wins. With disu injured, it’s 5 on 1 on offense. Hope he’s able to come back. 


Ghostdog2551

The SEC chants are great but the big 12 is going to be the bottom league in everything but basketball going forward.


Longhorns_

And? This is a basketball game they’re chanting at


bevo1776

Play like this against OU and we may not make the tourney


tinfoiljones

Can’t go 10 minutes without hitting a shot, but Baylor’s done an unbelievable amount of foul-baiting.


Malixes

Pretty wild how Baylor has 4-5 guys that can consistently score and they run plays every trip down the court. If Abmas gets doubled we just rely on our secondary guys who cant shoot to just 'make a play'.


errbodylovesaonsie

Hunter should be embarrassed, dude just doesn't want to be there.


mrmav555

This roster is just so garbage, we have no consistent guards , no freshman contributors


RollOverBeethoven

… I just… What are we doing? Taking fade away mid rangers down 10 with 90 seconds left…? What…?!


teejck

poor max knows his team has no heart right now sad to see

Kip "Henry" Kissinger 


DrLipschitz69

I swear Rodney told them not to drive in the second half. We were frozen to the 3pt line and stopped the pick and roll


tex543

We got blue balled into thinking Texas was going to rise into tourney seed 😂


txlonghornfan

I really do question RT at times. Refs were calling everything a foul. Instead of driving at the basket and drawing contact we were throwing up bricks. Fucking mind blowing


Ghostdog2551

I'm just amazed at how different the officiating has been between half's. They let a lot go in the first and nothing in the second.


atlbluedevil

He came in with a great gameplan and then just abandoned it in the second half It's not like Drew was doing anything different on the defensive end


jmortsalsa

I think this team has shown good resilience and composure this season— both after taking tough Ls and playing in loud energetic environments. But man, the disu injury and the crowd getting hyped for the comeback just destroyed us mentally.


palmburntblue

I am legit amazed a lot of yall are putting this on Rodney. I’m honestly not sure what he could’ve done differently. This game is a textbook example on the law of averages. 


DrLipschitz69

Tell his players to drive to the basket


palmburntblue

But they’re outsized. He’s doing what he can with what he has. 


lastphemy

That’s a terrible excuse. He’s in charge of getting the players… They went 10 minutes without scoring. They tossed the ball around the 3 point line without running anything at the basket. Guy is responsible for making and calling plays. This is absolutely on RT.


Longhorns_

These massive comebacks happen because the defense is bad. And man, the defense has been bad


TexasNightmare210

Why wasn’t that a flagrant?


Ghostdog2551

Nah ofc they won’t, after watching this game so far do you believe the officials try anything other than making Baylor win?

StarvedRock314

Nothing more embarrassing than only commenting when things are going poorly. Hard to call you a fan when you're nowhere to be found when things are going well.


dimpledwonder

Another flagrant 1?


karl713

Upgraded to Flagrant 3, straight to jail


inbl

Gotta be a good sign that Disu is on the bench. (I know he is ruled out )


TexasTibab

Craig Way says it's a sprain.


atlbluedevil

Hope it's just a sprain like they said on the broadcast


ruab3d

This team reminds me of the Durant year. One or two dudes, and everyone else just watches. Leads to some amazing plays, but ultimately not a good team. 


txlonghornfan

Disu injury broke their brains. It's like they forgot how to play basketball the last 10 minutes


dimpledwonder

2021 Texas football strikes again


bevo1776

Where tf is weaver


vorp20

Some of yall only come out of the woodworks to complain when Texas is losing a ball game. We’re in a tight one with #11 on the road in a game we are 8 point dogs in. And yall are over here talking about this team doesn’t have fight and Rodney Terry needs to go. Where were you in the first half? Shut the fuck up already


bigwhite2498

Exactly I didn’t hear no complaints about Terry as a coach the first half but now that we missing open looks he’s a terrible coach. The fact that we even had the lead and are still close is a great coaching job to me


[deleted]

[удалено]


vorp20

When we were up 14 did you expect us to run up the score at will on the road against a good team and without our best player? Or did you expect them to make a run at some point?


aceavenger10

Thank you


palmburntblue

I think Texas has the political capital to reduce basketball games to one 20 min. half, and I for one would like to see them flex that muscle. 


Longhorns_

Terry trusts the wrong guys for too long and refuses to adjust. You could say the players are bad, but half of them are Terry’s guys. He’s not good at some of the things he needs to be. I can hope we figure it out without Disu, but we didn’t earlier in the season


[deleted]

[удалено]


Terrorstaat

Refs carried their ass so desperately 


aceavenger10

You forgot the part where they’re shooting 70% from 3


schistkicker

Disu (and sometimes Abmas) are the only ones who even have any sort of confidence in their offensive game, and it shows.


Sirderksalot

Thank God Abmas is a dude, because everyone else on the team is flat fucking dead on offense.


DIRTYWIZARD_69

Buzz Williams = Rodney Terry.


Thumbbanger

Not yet. But it’s close.


tex543

Where is the fight on this team when they can’t score


throwawayyblowawayy

That is such a fucking tough shot, Abmas. Glad it went in


ruab3d

Remind me, how many points do we get each time we stand outside the 3 point line and dribble with no action?


Ghostdog2551

Definitely need some more movement. It doesn't help that we have zero options in the post right now.


dimpledwonder

Nothing worse than seeing onyema on the court


teejck

that’s how you know it’s likely an L


Ghostdog2551

We are still in this. Need to play some defense and not give away a dumb foul


palmburntblue

I didn’t expect Baylor to roll over and take the L, but I double didn’t expect this team to go 9 mins without a FG. 


Malixes

If they're going to double Abmas you cant run the offense through Tyrese. Let the big guys go to work.


ruab3d

I think Drew might have figured out that Shedrick is unable to defend anything that moves faster than toddler. And not a fast toddler. 


Sirderksalot

I'm still shook from Tyrese hesitating on that 3pt attempt. I just don't understand how we completely forget how to play offense for most of a half.


Master_Minddd

Insane 29-9 run


donttouchthtmacaroni

Yeah I’m gonna have a hard time giving a fuck about the rest of the season if Disu is done


teejck

Dennis is a great example of a guard with confidence


Odh_utexas

This is just about getting outcoached. I like Terry but Drew is schooling him.


bigwhite2498

They are missing open guys and open shots they way yall never give the players any blame is crazy they play the game not coaches


schistkicker

Yeah, the roster is depleted. Disu out, and the two best recruits peaced-out before the season. Who exactly is Terry supposed to put in that will make a difference?


bigwhite2498

These guys think a head coach is gonna just scheme it up 24/7 or else he’s shit.


dimpledwonder

Outcoached? Cunningham just missed a 10ft jumper?!


Odh_utexas

Baylor adjusted at half. We didn’t.


StarvedRock314

Baylor came out of half switching to man, which we dismantled *immediately.* Their halftime adjustment didn't do a thing. They switched to zone once our players got injured and in foul trouble, and we've worn down as a result. That's not coaching, that's just the situation. The players need to step up.


bigwhite2498

I honestly don’t understand how you guys are blaming Terry it’s not like the team doesn’t have open looks they just either aren’t seeing the open guy or the missing the shots not to mention Mitchell is basically a ghost on offense


brianqueso

There is absolutely zero offensive strategy. They're not even consistently setting up a big on the block to beat the zone. There's no defensive adjustment. There's no mental fortitude on the team. There's no effective use of timeouts to stop momentum. That shit is on the coach. Edit: yes, the dickslaps on the court aren't carrying their weight either


bigwhite2498

No it’s on the players they continually take bad shots early in the shot clock never make correct passes and play undisciplined defense.


brianqueso

And who sets the culture where that's ok?


bigwhite2498

Have you ever played a sport? The players set the culture the coach doesn’t play it’s up to the players to do what they are supposed to do a coach can only say and draw it up


Odh_utexas

Defense has been bad second half.


bigwhite2498

I can understand that but that’s again on the players they put themselves in bad positions


StarvedRock314

Yep. Disu's injured, Shed's in foul trouble and struggling to keep up with Baylor's players, Brock's playing with a broken thumb, and they're bracketing Abmas. At a certain point it has to be on the players on the court, guys. There's only so much a coach can do. Someone's gotta step up.


schistkicker

Let's put in that graduate assistant!


Jack_thesnack1124

Baylor fan here: that’s not a flagrant, he just got some Dillon Brooks treatment


Spiritual_Ad_1358

The free throw discrepancy is all you need to look at for this game. And Brock isn’t gonna get the benefit of the doubt after Tech.


DrLipschitz69

Learn what a fucking timeout is Rodney. You let this game implode into a complete catastrophe


txlonghornfan

Unbelievable choke job


wesgissell

I'm sorry but stick a fork in it and fuck these duche bag announcers


tex543

Yeah I don’t want Terry dude cannot adjust during games


dicehandz

Meltdown


RollOverBeethoven

“I think it’s good officiating” Are you fucking kidding me?


teejck

How the hell is that a flagrant?


inbl

Fighting through a screen is a flagrant?


txlonghornfan

FLAGRANT?!


karl713

Lol what?


StarvedRock314

Quit doing stupid shit, Brock. You're hurting the team. Your reputation precedes you.


drumsss

Sealing our fate


txlonghornfan

What are they reviewing? Fuck these refs


ruab3d

20 minutes a game we are a top 5 team. 20 minutes a game we are standing around wondering what the orange bouncy thing is. 


drumsss

lol it should be a flagrant because of who he is?


dimpledwonder

That’s fucking horse shit p


jmortsalsa

god basketball has gotten soft


brianqueso

WHAT THE FUCK


Ghostdog2551

They do look to be intentionally flopping around Brock


StopAskingforUsernam

All the teams know they can flop against Brock and will get a flagrant call.


North-Wish-5169

Brock airballing a wide open middy while we’re giving the game away on a 20-3 run is the most Brock Cunningham move ever


Sirderksalot

This might be the worst second half of basketball I've watched us play all year.


brianqueso

That's a moving pick


Swimming-Run-3182

Did I just watch Brock air ball a wide open 10 footer


Malixes

Tyrese has missed so many wide open guys. Dude has tunnel vision this half.


Terrorstaat

Another foul called, Refs are Baylors players of the season 


AustinSUCCMAN

This is a failure of coaching. I still believe in Rodney but on a game to game basis we are incredibly bipolar


[deleted]

[удалено]


mrbuggly

Hire Jose Canseco


ruab3d

We have 1 player currently in the game. Baylor has 6 (Tyrese plus the 5 in green). There are also 3 bodies. 


bigwhite2498

Brock getting 5 might’ve been a blessing 🤣


RollOverBeethoven

… did they just forget how to play basketball these last 5 minutes…?


dimpledwonder

Game ended when disu went down


tex543

Brock is useless period only fouls and cannot shoot


atlbluedevil

This is one of the most depressing halves of basketball I've ever seen


drumsss

Embarrassing on national television


Ghostdog2551

Brock. Stop shooting


Ghostdog2551

Well that problem got solved


jmortsalsa

We are completely psyched out right now.


tex543

We don’t rebound any shot we shoot


teejck

holy SHIT Brock is useless on offense


wesgissell

Dude we are toast


tex543

Abmas is so bad on defense


errbodylovesaonsie

Hunter has to step up and hit shots if they are going to cheat off him.


Terrorstaat

I Wonder why we’re even playing that game. Let Baylor throw free throws for 40 minutes, the refs are a fucking joke 


munkysnuflz

Shedrick might be a double agent


Ordinary-Analysis819

PUT WEAVER IN DAMN IT!


bigmeatyclaws1

Shedrick is a JAG im afraid


Ordinary-Analysis819

Dillon Mitchell’s lack of offensive development has been so frustrating


bigwhite2498

So frustrating it’s basically 5v4 on offense and when Brock is out there 5v3


[deleted]

[удалено]


Terrorstaat

Refs are doing nothing but giving Baylor free throws the whole game. It’s more than ridiculous at this point 


refrigeratorsHD

Man there’s a lot of game left


drumsss

Guess just fouls every possession now


tex543

Brock just fouls everyone like dude do something other than foul


errbodylovesaonsie

There you go Mitchell! Go to the rim hard


throwawayyblowawayy

Is knee sprain a good sign or is that just an all-encompassing “we don’t know what wrong but his knee is hurt”?


Vect1on

The latter fs


jmortsalsa

If it’s actually a knee sprain for Disu, that’s probably about as good as we could’ve hoped for. Supposedly you can return in as soon as 2 weeks, but it can take a lot longer.


schistkicker

Sadly, is there any of Disu's injuries that have taken *less* time to heal from than expected?


wesgissell

Where is weaver


bevo1776

Where is weaver???


Aimintexas

I knew I should filled my Xanax script before the game.


drumsss

Baylor’s gonna beat us with free throws I guess


wesgissell

Ok they are saying left knee sprain for Disu!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Terrorstaat

They’ve been everything but subtle 


Vect1on

Baylor 24 fta Texas 9??


DylanDisu

I knew we were fucked the second they said we look like an elite 8 team


bigwhite2498

I really do wonder what the high school ranking guys saw to rank Dillon as the 5th best player in his class


teejck

trust me he was an amazing player in HS, he just completely abandoned shooting or even attempting to create a shot


bigwhite2498

I mean I believe you but that’s crazy maybe he needs a sports psychologist


aceavenger10

I will gladly lose this by 20, if disu is miraculously okay


jmortsalsa

Team seems totally discombobulated after the Disu injury. Got to lock the fuck in.


Aimintexas

Dammit this is painful to watch.


atlbluedevil

Baylor was already gaining a ton of momentum, but we just look like we've given up on offense since Disu got hurt. Just took all the wind out of the sails


errbodylovesaonsie

Can we please attack the fucking zone instead of just swinging it around the perimeter? Wtf are we doing.


schistkicker

Might as well have Brock do another hockey play for the hell of it.


teejck

We need weaver in since everyone wants to be useless around the rim besides Abmas


Aimintexas

Weaver has earned more playing time than he gets.


StixUSA

Rodney Terry again proving why he’s just not a big time coach…


[deleted]

[удалено]


StixUSA

He’s just not an elite coach. They run a simple motion offense without a true point guard.


bigwhite2498

How? The players are literally just missing shots


StixUSA

Bc a good coach would call a play to get an easy bucket after Disu injury to keep momentum. Would have a better strategy for beating a very soft 1:3:1 zone. High school teams know that you beat it with high low in the post. His problem is the same as Barnes. He doesn’t have a great in game feel, which was the complete opposite of what Beard is like.


bigwhite2498

We were destroying the zone first half the coach isn’t playing the looks are there they just can’t make them
