    We are hitting 3s and Nevada is not, so we look to be in good shape, but we do not need to jack up 3s. If we just go inside, we have this!

    Let me clarify: Go inside with our big men.

    Playing some matador defense. Roach cannot be allowed to dominate the ball handling, yet Smart lets it happen over and over.

    Patience, the two previous he was playing statue over in the corner with no one near him. So he is moving closer to where he should be

    We don’t run any sets to get Bamba the ball inside. That is poor coaching by Smart but what else is new

    Watching this team play a playground “offense” is just painful.

    I could not disagree more - most playground ball is more organized than this.

    How the hell was that a charge?

    Horns hitting enough threes and the zone d is harassing Nevada. Can they sustain?

    This^^^ is the question of the day. If they can make 30% of threes in the last half, and keep pressuring the paint on both ends they win.

    Our pressuring the offensive paint is putting Nev in foul trouble. And that's good.

    Matt Coleman must restrain himself. Stop reaching in; stop fouling. We need him down the stretch. We cannot sustain the offensive firepower we need if Coleman is not in the game.

    It seems Texas simply cannot stay focused with a big lead.

    Unbelievable. Not a single pass on that possession. This team is horribly coached if coached at all. Most times they half hearted run through an initial “set” and after that stay glued to the spot where they stopped.

    Lot's of dribbling, shot clock running out, air ball...

    Roach with a nice shot but there was zero attempt to work a play to Mo. He set a high screen then stood around. There was nothing in the "scheme" to set him up.

    Another air ball.

    Smart has not taught a half court offense. Its all at the arc. No motion. No cutting. Poor screens. Urggg. I hope we can get a three or two and breaks off of turnovers.

    I wonder if Smart even realizes that screens can be set away from the ball. Unless Nevada just goes flat cold, it is going to be hard to hang on with how the Horns waste possessions.

    Dylan blew an easy rebound resulting in the three point play for Nevada on the possession.

    I know that our contract with Nike is very lucrative, but could they please get Bamba shoes that don't have lead in them?

    Not a foul. Horrible call. You can't blow that call at this juncture of the game.

    Bamba needs to spend a lot of time in the weight room

    Conditioning will probably determine the game.
