I think this is a pivotal game. Why, aren't we out of the running for the March tourney, and probably won't make much noise in the B12 tourney?? This is why tonight matters. If we win, it signals we can win against B12 teams. Remember, the B12 is the strongest conference, top to bottom, in the nation. Its a confidence booster. We've lost our B12 games by an average of 4 points. That's with 3-4 freshman on the floor for forty minutes. We are this close to breaking out. Allen is coming into his own, averaging almost 20 a game the last two weeks. Jones is playing decent at the point--not great, but serviceable till Coleman gets here. He's averaging 15 a game the last two weeks. Even Cleare is coming on.
So if we edge over this hump, win tonight, beat Georgia on Saturday (which is possible) then we have momentum to make some B12 headway. Then, with a few B12 second half wins, we just might surprise in the B12 tourney.
If you're in the Austin area, go to the game, make some serious noise, and give the young horns some help!! They haven't given up, are playing hard every game, with tons of heart.
Above all, remember
