Sweet Sixteen - Horns vs Xavier

Gotta build on lead to withstand run that will eventually come.

 

Carr on fire tonight!!!

 

Gotta finish this half and not let X close the gap.

 

No disrespect to Xavier, but they ain’t exactly movie star looks.

 

or maybe it won't

 

We’ve out scored them in the paint 22-12 with 2 minutes. Anyone see that coming with Disu out? Their big ugly is struggling.

 

Xavier went. Don’t trust we can hit 3s. We’ll see

 

Outstanding way to end the half.

 

Yes!!!!!

 

Wow !!!!
Can u believe that 3 at the buzzer!!!!!



42-25 at he half baby!!!!

 

Nice way to end the half!!

 

ok that was crazy!

 

Yeah but did he really need to bank that half court 3?!? Oh wait, that’s the old me .

 

Agree. Our D is the key to this team’s success. It can be impressive.

 

Great defense. We have played championship defense since the start of the big 12 tournament

 

Xavier is straight up thunder struck!

 

You didn’t even have to turn this one off.

 

Now let’s come out in the 2nd half and finish them off.

 

That’s two threes just this side of improbable. That one and Carr’s earlier with the shot clock running out. Texas defense has been strong and will need to continue in the second half.

 

Xavier—so far— is over matched. They have no defense. Horns may run away with this game if they keep defending the three point line like this.

 

They’re still gonna dare us to shoot the 3 but Horns ain’t scared tonight!

 

Don’t forget UCLA was up 13 at half last night. That white guard they have can hit 3s from anywhere.

 

Yeah this one isn’t over by a long shot.

 

To paraphrase Bill in Sinton “We must maintain our focusness in the second half.”

 

I am feeling oddly relaxed, but that doesn't fully capture my mood right now. There is something else in there.

@Dionysus do you have any idea what this complimentary emotion might be?

 

Almost every team makes a run. The question will be how we handle that onslaught.

 

The positivity on this board apparently lifted the play of the Horns in the first half.

 

Terry sure had this team well prepared. Couldn’t ask for a better first half.
