Not trying to be too critical, but, this tournament seems to have big for Souley from the beginning and if he is having an off night don’t think X can beat many good teams.

Well not our night so far. We have missed so many close shots. Boum is awful again. Like the zone. Hard to watch Boum chasing his man from behind. We have dug ourselves a pretty deep hole. Texas is beating us without their best big man. Love Kunkels effort and heart. Hoping for a MIRACLE.

The pace of the game and the Texas defense is killing us., Boum is having a lot of trouble on both ends. Need to reverse the ball and drive to the whole strongly. Claude is really having trouble too. Need to play strong ang go right at them. Need a couple stops to get back in the game.

H is just too turnover prone. Had two in 1st, and should have had 3. Nunge playing scared again, missing about 4 labs. Boum is also pressing for the 4th straight game. Miller went to the zone waaay too late..... once again. They get Boum in ball screen situations, and it is either a lab or dunk. Thank God for Kunkel.

X will make a run, but 17 is too much to overcome when you can't stop the other team.

Missing those early Nunge shots just killed the O for X. Nunge also needs to stay close to the basket on shots Tonight X misses Zack and his O

Boum should have been taken out of the game no defense and selfish on offense. Nunge playing like a six footer again. AH, you wonder why we don’t play a zone?

Lets see how good Miller is.

O was the least of their issue. They missed 8 labs. The issue was letting TX score 22 points in the paint, many at the rim in the 1t. Miller didn't think TX had tape of X. That's how everyone beats them. Hell, DP did it for 35 minutes in the BE. Needs to go spend some time with Bennett this summer, and he can talk to Bennett about offense.

Shocker. Another lab in man.

Texas has just another 12 footers all night long

In addition to about 15 labs. If you didn't know better, you'd think Bishop was 7'0", and Nunge 6'7." Softest big ever at X.
