Thank God for the Phil 66 ESPN+...

That way I can actually view this murder.

Also- Am I really a jerk for...

booting my girlfriend out at noon because I had to "run errands" and the all-time shady excuse "call people". Ahhh, now I have the house all to myself- Mizzou, Creighton/WSU later, and I'll flip around the NFL playoffs.

Anyone have a good excuse for tomorrow?

no excuse...will probably just watch the games

and then watch whatever she wants to in the evening....it is how it usually happens

Texas doesn't even practice?...

According to Sunvold it's "Walk Around". Sickening.

And Mizzou proving that if you can get

the ball inside the 3pt. arc against us, you are very likely to score. Foul trouble early for us to...not exactly the start you would like. But at least there is a decent crowd there.

Texas is on pace for around 90, which is

like 110 in the NBA. I'm not sure we can keep up with them.

Carroll is getting HACKED!

fouls all around now...that should help

They let them play, and then call small stuff...I can hear The Boy screaming from here.

True. Nice to see James out now. Take control!!nm

Time for Matt Lawrence to sit

Shot is not falling, he provides nothing else at this point that someone else can't do better.

Keon Lawrence was on a roll. nm

Someone have a Union permit?...

There are a ton of bricks being thrown up.

Best half of basketball I have seen

Gonna be a war in the 2nd half...need Keon to stay hot, Hannah and Lawrence to get something going and Lyons to have big half.

Great play then dumb play

Can't win this game with Carroll and Lyons on the bench for too long

by The Beef on Jan 12, 2008 1:56 PM CST up reply actions

Lyons hasn't done much this game. Carroll has

been all over, but isn't being physical enough. The Longhorns are boxing him out and pounding him.

by Big Head on Jan 12, 2008 1:58 PM CST up reply actions

yep...certainly best effort of the year

Got to keep it going now, but I am certainly a lot more pleased with this effort than I have been with any others this year. I am hopeful Keon has gotten out of his funk and can become the scorer we really will need to compete through the rest of the conference season.
