TT struggling a little bit. He has been in great position and missed shots he probably makes ona good day.

Now he missed a dunk.

Texas up by 10.

Hey CZAR85 thanks for the excellent breakdowns on all the Canadians. I had no idea there were so many, and a lot of them seem to be impact players too. Good work!

Oakland's coach is crazy. Screaming at his own player from 2 feet away.

Texas by 8 at the half.

Thompson has 9 points, 4 rebs and 3 blocks on 4-8 shooting.
Joseph has 5 points, 3 assists, and 1 steal on 2-4 shooting.

I couldn't agree more with Greg Anthony... Texas plays as if you found the best 5 guys at the Y and told them to play. Rick Barnes is the reason they won't go to the final 4, because they certainly have the talent.

Thompson is a stud. Very good game thus far. Joseph playing well also. Oaks coach kills me, short little crazy fat guy berating his kids all through the game. Needs a donut to lighten his mood.

Big stats for Thompson so far. 17 points, 10 rebounds, 5 blocks.

That was clearly a kickball.

Not only does Reggie Hamilton have a terrible haircut but he has a terrible attitude too...

Kaizen · Post #131 » by **Kaizen** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:15 pm

Barnes is a terrible coach. They would not pass to Thompson because he sucks at free throws so he should have called time-out when the player got himself into trouble.

Kaizen · Post #132 » by **Kaizen** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:16 pm

Now he calls time-out. It would be nice to still have that 8 point lead.

Texas up by 6. 1.5 seconds left the commentators are crying that Thompson should not try until the final whistle.

7 blocks for TT. Very nice.

Nice. What stupid questions is Craig Sager gonna ask Thompson?

Kaizen · Post #139 » by **Kaizen** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:36 pm

Yes to that too.
