Army of Dad

That will cost us at least two fans for at least some of the first half. Our son is performing there and AoM and he will be late to the game. However the other two kids both asked to go to the UNT game with me so they won't be late!

Yes there are and I trust in the Johns (to borrow a Vitoism), but we could also win like George Mason did during their Final Four run. I seem to recall they used most of their timeouts in conjunction with the media timeouts to play their starters most of the game and still keep them somewhat fresh. Though I do love having these types of discussions with a 5-1 record!

But how many travel?

I think he will end up at #4 with 1,750-1,800 career points.

Ugh no way, I prefer to tongue lash the refs when they deserve it. For some reason they frequently do deserve it when we play UTA. Now kissing my wife on the other hand...well even then our kids might want to die of embarrassment.

I agree, the Pit looked to be a good deal more than 1/4 full...

This.

The additional announcement is that Chico is staying?

We knew this was (probably) coming, but it still hurts.

Wouldn't it still be more than the TV coverage we and the rest of the SBC currently get?

I voted yes. No matter whether CUSA or MWC calls the answer should be yes. Let them finish the question, but 'YES' should be the very next word spoken. Work out the details later.

She couldn't do much worse...

Yeah and I also noticed just how fast they were trying to double George, especially in the early part of the first half. I agree the press looked pretty good and it really bothered them.

Rice played like thugs much of the night. In the second half Domo (or White) was put into a headlock on the offensive end-no call. Tristan went up for a lay up and had his shot "blocked" by getting whacked in the face. He went into the media timeout after spending a few moments under the backboard he came up blinking and checking his eye. From our seats it was very easy to see how red his eye was-no foul called. Rice had no more right to complain about the officiating than we had, and I would say much less right to complain. The first half was brutal and in their favor, the second merely poor but equally so.

Defensively Holmen should be fine on the wing (of course he should shoot better than he does...) and I like his length out there. I share your concern about our lack of quality depth. Holmen and Edwards simply have to play better and losing Mangrum and Mcghee is coming around to bite us in the ass now that Alzee is down. I wouldn’t mind seeing Hall play some in the first half to see how he competes in a D-1 level game.

Disagree, #14 in particular got away with murder for most of the first half. Don't forget he was the one who lined up George for a body check after George was up in the air and he flat out punched Hogans in the ribs in the first half and got away with it. It leveled out some in the second half, but the officiating was still terrible it's just that the bad calls were more balanced after the break.

Odd that you would say that since at one point last night Jacob was playing the wing. It certainly looked like JJ was trying him as another wing. I'm not saying...

Shanice has lost just about everything else so far...

I will say this about him he is playing with a fire and drive I don't remember ever seeing in him. I think last year was tough on him and he is trying to play like every game is his last now. I love seeing the energy and the apparent newfound stroke at the free throw line. (.833 going into the Rice game)

If it is down to McCarney or Canales I am ok with either choice with a slight lean towards McCarney.

Just Say No to WAC.

I guess JJ will just have to step up and land another top recruit with one of our remaining 'ships and UNT will be the SBC team with a nationally ranked (top 25) class!

I hope we get a good crowd too. If not we will be loud enough for a couple of people who can't be there.

Yeah, it's Kansas so I am not real concerned how that game turned out. Can I be concerned about Tristan's shooting so far this year? 2-16 from downtown and just .690 from the charity stripe....

The X factor is can Josh and Tristan both have huge games against a Big 12 school in the same game.
