Miles Simon is so bad! I wish the radio feed through Cyclone TV was the same as the video.
We've dropped out of the top 10 in the charity classic. Lets win this guys, please vote:

If they can win these next two there is chance they move into the top 25 next week. Really I only see one game the rest of the way that they likely won't win. The other games I see as toss ups or games ISU should win.
I've said this in a previous thread at the beginning of the season, I do not think we have won a game that Miles Simon has announced in the last 2 years. Maybe it is only since I've started noticing, but every time Miles has announced our game this year and last, we lost. I'm not saying, I'm just sayin'.
I'm sure we'd get a few votes but there's no way we'll enter the Top 25 next week, even if we blow out Texas and Oklahoma.
Have you seen how many teams are losing lately. Heck the Top Ten has seen ridiculous turnover.
I don't know if we'd be ranked but we might, I think it would be close. We're getting some votes right now.
I'm hoping we rain threes like we did against KU. Hope Matt gets back on target. And hope Burton plays like I know he can.
Gonna watch but hit the mute and listen to play by play on the radio. Eliminates all my yelling at the ESPN announcers
Texas vs ISU from a Texas point of view:

Our problems are:
1) no depth on the front line;
2) no mobile forwards;
3) no depth;
4) no true point guard;
5) no depth;
6) no perimeter shooting; and
7) no depth.
No perimeter shooting -- taking Mack out of the equation, Texas's available players are shooting .285 bta on the season. Sorry, make that .284. Forgot Isom's 0/2, but maybe because I have no sense that he's ever going to be productive, so I wonder if he should be considered "available."
Not having Isom or Mack means we only have guards and three big men. No one to match up with any three with length or four with plus mobility.
We don't have a single guard with an a/t ratio as good as 1.5/1, and if that is the best you can do, you're in big trouble.
It'll get better next year, but I'm utterly sick about this season. From Davis taking a huge step backward to Young being the worst freshman volume shooter ever to Mack being a problem child to going into the season with just 10 available and not getting help at the point or any depth to Banks falling off the planet after the third game to incessant meaningless drivel coming out of Smart's mouth. Just sick.

Opposing coaches would have to be fools not to play zone against this Longhorns team.
