  • In some ways, because Texas really needs to win one of these games in NJ, this is one of the most important games of the year. I wonder how the young Horns will play so far away from home.

    This is a big game from a confidence standpoint for this young team. It's very important to get at least a split out of these two games and Oregon State is definitely the weakest of these three teams.

  • It will probably be blacked out on ESPN unless your cable carrier has the LHN. That's been my experience with ESPN 3

  • Coming from an assistant coach in the Pac-12:
    - Oregon State is playing less zone defense this year...more man
    - Cunningham is a very good athlete and defensive player who can cause J'Covan problems
    - Burton is a big that passes it well, Collier is a rugged, undersized forward, remainder of personnel is average
    - Thinks Texas should be okay if they play an average game

  • there are two things i really hope to see during this game:
    #1 is how well we can play against a team that has some size on us. I expect UT gets outrebounded, but can we scrap and hustle for enough of them to keep the difference close. Also we have to play without fouling. WE only got 4 forwards, if we get into foul trouble early because of struggling from their size then it's going to be a long night for the horns.

    #2 is how well can J'covan step up and play like he has so far this season against comparable competition and against a bigger guard like cummingham. I think he is a very good player, one of the best in the big 12, but I'm not yet sure if he is great. Can he lead this team and perform at a superior level and assert himself not only as one of the conference's best guards but as one of the nation's best as well. If he can do that, the horns have a good chance to come out of NJ with a suprising two W's.

  • I'll be at the game so I'll get a good look at how this young team fares at its first road game...

    Jordan I believe you have to have Uverse to get ESPN3 at no cost. It's was like that the last 2 years.

  • Our next opponent is putting on an offensive show, no matter who it is. Vandy up 43-41 with about 4 minutes left in the first half. Needless to say, there have been a lot of open shooters.

    I am at the game and which ever team Texas faces, they're going to have a hard time with. Both teams play with a physicality that Texas probably can't compete with.

  • OSU goes in and out, in and out, and winds up with a 3 from its center. TExas makes a turnover as Kabongo throws it to a guy who cuts the other way. Texas gets draws a charge. Brown hits a three in the corner. OSU gets a drive and a hoop, the another TExas turnover leads to a third OSU basket. Kabongo drives the basket for a layup. Texas steals a pass into the post, fastbeak layup by Holmes.

    Fast pace start. OSU with a basket on an inbounds play, then Lewis hits a three from the corner 10-9 TExas 3 minutes in.

    bierce

  • Bad defensive play by Texas to allow baskets on consecutive plays. Guy without ball gets free on wing and drives baseline with no one picking him up for the back door pass and layup, followed by a drive through the same side of the defense for another easy layup. Texas hit a three in betwee those two baskets, so it's tied at 13.

    Apparently it was a 2, so it's 13-12. OSU. Now 15-12 as OSU gets an offensive rebound and putback, but Brown hits another 3. tied at 15. Antoehr offensive rebound, this time on a tap out. Pass back in for the and one play.

  • But the ft attempt misses the rim. Texas commits turnover, but OSU can't finish and Texas fights for the rebound. Fast break, feed to chapman cutting. Pump fake and dunk.

    OSU scores on another inbound play, then gets a steal and break away for a dunk. Texas has been careless with the ball and isn't recognizing the traps OSU is setting for the ballhandlers.

  • Bond works for position, gets the pass from Brown and converts.

    OSU comes back runs a couple of people through the lane. Chapman chases the first and no one is there to prevent the second from getting to the basket. MIss,. but fouled. Missed both fts. Chapman rebounds.

    OSU muscles it through and over Chapman who had position, but couldn't prevent the shot.

    bierce

  • Another charge taken by Texas. McClellan draws it. Oregon is determined to get into the paint tonight.

    Wild passing on the perimeter but leads to a long three by Brown. Texas by five.

    OSU throws up a brick from 23 feet. McClellan drove and pitched a bad pass to Brown outside the arc. Texas tried to get it to Holmes underneath, but pass goes out of bounds.
