February 6, 200719 yr I think it is safe to say that texas has the worst Defense in the country... Safe to say you're making a reactionary post after a top 10 team was on fire...
February 6, 200719 yr Author ^ HAHA, already turned into a Duke or UK thread.:lol: On a serious note though, I think Duke has one of the BEST team defenses in the nation...
February 6, 200719 yr Author Safe to say you're making a reactionary post after a top 10 team was on fire... OK, its safe to say evertime i have seen them on TV they have gave up 80 or more points...
February 6, 200719 yr ^ j/k Texas A & M plays with great seperation, and movement....there are 2-3 open looks on virtually every posession, add that to the fact that they can hit the outside jumper, that's a recipe for sucess or failure, depending on what part of Texas you are from.
February 6, 200719 yr OK, its safe to say evertime i have seen them on TV they have gave up 80 or more points... Barnes has had to protect this team from itself at times, and that gets exposed against good shooting teams. Add to that a PG that is best pushing tempo and there are a lot of shots to be taken. A&M had a fantastic finish and ran away with it, but it wasn't about getting Texas out of what they do. They hit contested shots, forced tempo and kept Durant away from the ball. That's how you beat this young Texas squad. If they get past Round 2, look out...
February 6, 200719 yr Author Come on GT they give up 72.5 points a game. :thumb: They must face a lot of hot shooting top 10 teams.
February 6, 200719 yr :thumb: They must face a lot of hot shooting top 10 teams. 3 games have twisted the numbers, and yes all 3 opponents were shooting off the charts. Care to dispute my claim that their coach has them in a soft 2-3 because 6 of his 8 best players are freshman? Is the Texas D good? No? Is the Texas O as good as there is in the nation? Yes...

Care to dispute my claim that their coach has them in a soft 2-3 because 6 of his 8 best players are freshman? Is the Texas D good? No? Is the Texas O as good as there is in the nation? Yes... Offense as Good as anybody's + X = Barely stay in the top 25 (solve for x)
February 6, 200719 yr Offense as Good as anybody's + X = Barely stay in the top 25 (solve for x) Right now x=a bad day in Round 2...

Care to dispute my claim that their coach has them in a soft 2-3 because 6 of his 8 best players are freshman? Is the Texas D good? No? Is the Texas O as good as there is in the nation? Yes... 3 out of an average of 24 don't make that big of a difference.
February 6, 200719 yr The fitting number of posts in this thread would be zero to represent the amount of defense Texas plays.

Care to dispute my claim that their coach has them in a soft 2-3 because 6 of his 8 best players are freshman? Is the Texas D good? No? Is the Texas O as good as there is in the nation? Yes... I think the game against Kansas State showed what happens when non-defense minded freshmen match up against a coach whose team will play a physical and agressive defense.
