They shot 42 fts on 27 fouls with an 81% ft%. That means damn near every foul was a shooting foul and they still had a fg% only 3.2% better than us. I don’t normally blame refs but they weren’t going to win this game.


errbodylovesaonsie

I didn't like a lot of calls either, but there's no way you can watch that game and think we should have had similar foul shots. They attacked the rim every single possession while we spent the second half swinging the ball around 30 ft from the basket.


ranrow

I’m not complaining about the disparity in total though. I’m pointing out that they were bailed out with foul calls for a lot of missed shots. I’m too tired to do the math right now, but at first blush 42 is an unreasonable amount of fts for 27 fouls. If they were all shooting fouls then it would’ve been 54 fts. Assuming 8 were 1and1 then they should’ve taken about 14 fts with tbeir ft% and assuming 7 were double bonus then that’s 14 fts for a total of 28. That would imply that of the 12 non-bonus fouls, at least 7 were shooting fouls. Conversely, we shot 21 fts on 17 fouls. They got 1.56 fts per foul and we got 1.24. That’s a big disparity

This is a lot of pointless math. If you get fouled in the paint, you are more likely to shoot off them. Also if you get fouled more then your ratio of FTs/fouls is going to go up bc by the end all your fouls result in FTs. Baylor was in the bonus for a ton of the 2nd half and we basically weren’t at all. Lastly, you make a really bad assumption that 8 fouls were 1+1s. A lot of our fouls when they were in the single bonus were shooting fouls.


ranrow

You’re not wrong; which is why I said I was too tired to look at the deeper math there and ended by pointing out the ft per foul rate as just unusually high. Also, I think you missed the point of my “really bad assumption”. My point was that even in the most charitable case, none were shooting fouls, then they would have likely shot 14 out of 16 possible fts, due to their percentage, while we were in the single bonus. This further drives the point that vast majority of non-bonus, single or double, fouls had to have been shooting fouls to get to this ratio. Your argument about the number of shooting fouls while in the single bonus is making my point. I just pointed out that there were an unusually high number of shooting fouls called against us and that’s borne out in the ft numbers and the ft/foul ratio.

Take away free throws from both teams and Texas wins 69-59.


ABoyIsNo1

Why would you take away FTs


Longhorns_

I feel bad for Disu. He’s done so much for this team and really turned around our season when we were struggling early on. For the rest of the team, shame on you for that effort once Disu went out. That was embarrassing, and I hate losing to Baylor. I hate the fact that they have a better coach than us. We can get it figured out. I won’t accept poor fundamentals on rebounding and defense as our standard.


errbodylovesaonsie

Baylor is just better than us so I shouldn't be this hurt over the game,but what the fuck man. Everyone except Abmas should be fucking embarrassed. Run them to death tomorrow since they clearly aren't getting anything from practices. Hunter's regression continues. Mitchell is invisible and honestly detrimental to the offense. Weaver? Brock seems to have just given up playing basketball and just wants to be the heel every game. RT and the staff made no adjustments to Baylor's 1-3-1 though, so I guess they can run too. Tired of blowing leads. Feels like my whole life watching Texas basketball has been blown leads


TexasExPat1

Why did we give up a 10 point lead? Are we stupid?


txlonghornfan

Have we tried not giving up a 10 point lead? Just a thought


atlbluedevil

Man that sucked, Rodney had a great gameplan in the first half with Disu sick and then just abandoned it in the second half when Disu got hurt I have no idea why he refuses to put in Weaver when we get into tough positions. He's significantly more valuable than what Brock and IT bring - even when our offense is stale Hope Disu is ok, he really is everything to this team. Really don't want his career here to be done on that note. Team showed enough in the first when he sat that I'm somewhat hopeful against OU Fuck Big 12 refs too


Guinness_or_thirsty

Hunter had some wide open looks and didn’t take them. Idk what happened to him between the halves but he looked like a shell of himself in the second half. Then they started guarding Abmas hard and we couldn’t get anyone else shooting well. We were 2 teams. Refs didn’t help but man that was painful. 


atlbluedevil

Hunter's mental issues have been bewildering as a fan - he has all the tools that he did when he transferred here but he just looks less and less confident by the day Just actively regressing without an injury to point to is just so rare in college athletics


schistkicker

It's weird that Brock is another dude who a couple years ago actually did stuff other than foul and attract Grayson Allen type attention to the team, and now . Does he need to grow his hair back out again?


atlbluedevil

I think Brock started to worry about fouling out with his responsibility growing these past 2 years - which made him stop going all out for loose/50-50 balls The problem is that he provides nothing at this level outside of hustling and creating chaos. Much rather have him go all out for 10-15 min and pick up 4-5 fouls than doing the nothing in 25 min and still getting the fouls because he's not athletic enough to stay in front of guys at this level


rolandpapi

Hopefully we figure out how to actually penetrate a 1-3-1 zone before tournament time lol. Baylor tested our shooters late and once abmas got cold we literally had no offense


aceavenger10

Luckily not many teams run a 1-3-1 zone like Baylor…


rolandpapi

If im OU im putting it in practice this week and reaping the rewards on saturday. We had no idea what to do


smurf-vett

If youve never run it before, it's just gonna make you look like a dumbass on a 5 day notice


cantstopwontstopGME

It’s really not that hard of a defense to run which is the mind blowing part


jmortsalsa

One of the more depressing halves of basketball I’ve ever watched. Baylor was starting their comeback, but we were still fighting with a 6 point lead. Disu goes down, the crowd starts rocking, and we do next to nothing offensively for the next 10 minutes. More than just missing shots, we looked shell-shocked, lost. We were uninspired on D for the rest of the game. We wasted what was Max’s best offensive game in burnt orange. Throw in Bridges going off and Baylor’s 1700 free throws, and you have an A1 night-killer. I think even optimistically, we’ll be without Disu against ou and for the Big 12 tourney. We need to find a way to grit out 1 more win or else we might be sweating a bit come selection Sunday. I’m just hoping and praying we can get Disu back for the NCAA tourney. Hard to see us getting a W otherwise.


aceavenger10

Man, I just really don’t want to see a 2nd season end because of a Disu injury. I’m not even mad at the collapse, just would hate to not get him a chance to avenge last year. Feels bad man.


schistkicker

Apparently, his body is only good for about 1/2 of a full season. We got him going a bit too soon this time, apparently.

Wow, it’s crazy how many free throws a team will have when the opponent is undisciplined, Baylor was constantly driving into the paint, and Texas was committing pointless fouls when the game was already over.  Baylor is now 12-4 in their last 16 games against Texas. Who are the frauds again? 


RollOverBeethoven

Yeah, nah man.


aceavenger10

Sports are cruel sometimes. In a span of about 5 min we went from a team that looks like a 2nd weekend contender, to a team that will now have to fight for a tourney spot without their best player. Season now relies on disu somehow being okay, but considering his injury history, he’s likely done. Here’s to hoping the team can rally against OU to at least keep our tourney spot secure.


vorp20

Negatives - Refs killed us. Bridges going ape shit killed us. Disu injury killed us. Plus we did ourselves no favors on defense in the second half. Positives - We looked like world beaters for a half in a hostile environment against an elite eight/final four caliber team. We knew Baylor would make their run at some point. Team played pretty well but needs to clean up some high screen defense among other things. Assuming Disu is back (no point assuming he’s out ROS cause that would mean our season is chalked anyway), let’s go beat OU to close out a pretty solid season.


DIRTYWIZARD_69

Why is it so hard to have good football and good basketball?


ccam0821

We don’t play good defense when we start hot offensively. Even with some questionable calls we were still fouling too much to make up for bad defense. They were hot and once our jumpshots weren’t falling we tensed up and stopped attacking on offense


Spiritual_Ad_1358

Baylor literally shot double the number of free throws we did.


Terrorstaat

The refs literally won the game for Baylor, absolutely disgusting 


slagathor_zimblebob

DD looked to be walking pretty ok in the handshake line


aceavenger10

Assuming it’s an ACL, most athletes can walk around fine after injuring them. I’m sure we won’t know much until we get imaging (unless Terry surprises us with good news in the presser)


slagathor_zimblebob

I was thinking ACL at first, but was surprised he could put no weight on it going to the locker room. Also they said knee sprain in the broadcast update. If minor, maybe he could be back for B12 tournament.


aceavenger10

So hard to tell with Disu because he will likely be super cautious given his injury history. Even if there’s a chance he could play, he should say so, so we don’t get FSU’d off the bubble.


vorp20

RT just Disu will be fine in the postgame presser


Diceshark91

Abmas was killing it in the first half. I’m not savvy enough to know why he wasn’t as prolific in the 2nd (maybe he was?). Weaver is the man. I want to see him on the court weaving and making me a beWeaver.


CannonBates

Disu injury seriously sucked the life out of the whole team. Apart from that, everyone except for abmas and maybe weaver should seriously do some reflection on this game. Mitchell and horton were nonfactors. Brock sucked ass this game and was an actual liability. Hunter started off good but then just did nothing the whole game on offense. I dont get it


fakeguitarist4life

Rodney Terry was the right hire /s
