Home beat down in progress 33-49. Was hoping this wouldn’t happen, but it was in the making for a while now. We’ll see.
KSU has to be hitting around 60%, I'd be surprised if we're hitting 30. And as good as we were at FTs Saturday, nowhere near that tonight. This first half has been a poor showing.
K State came to play. We didn't. State playing team ball. Tx doing lots of 1 on 1 offense. Lots of one and done.. Playing slow on defense. Back door cuts have been there all game. Essentially State can do what they want. Definitely makings of a blowout.
like LC said, ‘Horns have been letting down on defense and getting away with it for several games. that is where they miss Beard’s influence on the team. the acting coach does not seem to stress defense.
Kinda goes to show how worthless early season rankings are. This team shouldn't be sniffing the top 15.
Horns not playing defense at all. they are allowing K State shot over 60% FG and 3 PT. new coach needs to call Beard and ash him what to do.
When we gave up all the points in the paint to A&M Commerce, I said - this defense won’t fly in B12 bc Carr isn’t hitting 10+ 3’s every game. Wish we had a better plan on offense still- even with Beard.
One thing no one's mentioned...KSU's lavender unis are the ugliest things ever. Should've saved them for Easter Day.
K St still shooting over 60% FG and 57% from 3 got to start playing good D a again. really miss Beard
AS a team: FG: 60% 3 Pt: 54.2% FT: 93.9% WTH? As it seems to happen so many times to the Longhorns over the years and to my Mavericks, people have out of body experiences. Nowell averages 14.5 ppg and drops 36 on us. He's a 5th year starter and average just over 30% from 3 point range. Tonight he goes 60%. Jeez.
When the other team goes 31-33 on FT's you know it's their night. That's the one thing that has nothing to do with the defense. Yes, the defense could have been better, but every 5 years or so KSU has a player that has an all world game and goes off on Texas. For some reason it happens and for some reason it's against Texas. They probably won't score over 90 the rest of the season.
apparently, I am not the only one noticing we have a problem. Awful defensive showing sinks No. 6 Texas in 116-103 loss to Kansas State - Burnt Orange Nation
It's not just defense. These guys just came in on fire. I hate when that happens. Of course, their overall record would indicate they weren't getting any respect from the pollsters but how frustrating to see them ON THE ROAD go lights out on us. Very frustrating, especially since eight of their players were not on the K State team last year. They blended and shot like they were Stephen Curry.
Yeah, even a still-acceptable 73% (24 of 33) at least gives us a fighting chance at the end. Also kind of seemed like we put so much mentally and physically into the OU road win we were a bit flat in this one.
Wasn’t this a home game? Now the Moody Center is of no advantage. I hope but doubt this was a one time thing. This team is in trouble.
I heard that 116 is the highest points allowed in any Big XII regulation game...ever. That'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
we actually outscored them from the 9 minute mark of the 1st half. Yeah it was poor defense, but a team sustaining 60% for an entire game is just absurd. Just a slow first 10 minutes. We put up 63 pts in the 2nd half and never got within 8 pts. This game was like a shoot around.
Teams put everything into beating Texas. Eventually the energy runs out and they get clobbered by someone else. They looked like a bad juco team. 19-9 turnovers and Noelle couldn't hit a 3. As some of the Texas coaches keep saying, "we get everyone's best shot, and some of the players still don't get it".
