It's not domination, let's not kid ourselves. Texas just can't handle this Zag D. Chet could stand still in that paint, and still be a factor. We may not have the offense we had last season, but this D is something else.

Yes indeed. 47 first half points is still an ok offensive performance, too.

I have a bunch of pics like this. Had to get one for this game. Hopefully it's more lopsided later, ha ha.

I wanna give a quick shout out to Holmgren. He's a projected #1 pick who knows that there are more than 20 scouts in the stands, and he's not forcing up shots trying to get his. He just earned a lot of respect from me for that. Now, hopefully the second half goes as well.

Beard zoned too not effective. some calls could have gone the other way. Timme beat the double numerous times in different ways (power, quickness, finesse, getting fouled), then dished out late when UTs rotations got better

No, no, no, we’re not going to beat anybody only scoring 47 points in a half.

Yes indeed. 47 first half points is still an ok offensive performance, too.

Would’ve been perfect to have Joel back.

Never seen a guy like him. He caught more tough passes on cuts and hit more tough layups on those cuts than anyone I remember. Just amazing hands and hitting lay-ups at full speed.

Also had this weird ability to have 4 guys around the rim and yet ball drop in his hands for put back.

And Chet hasn’t scored yet.

incredible his impact without scoring, seriously

[MyZags]

Texas 3-13 from 3, this is real helped the first half story.

Keep up the pressure Zags!

[bballbeachbum]

step on their throat right now

[scrooner]

Texas has shot worse from 3 than us. I don't expect that to last. It helps that we have the size advantage though.

o glass again, determined UT there. Point of emphasis from Beard at the break

[seacatfan]

for a non zag fan….maybe

It's great fun. Just not really what was expected for a vaunted matchup between Top 5 teams.

Shoving holmgren consistently now

[drvenkman05]

Whistle fest to start the second half.

Beard going after Chet now, not Drew. interesting, in the block hard whether on the glass on post up. challenged them to get physical
