The Rick Barnes Experience

[babaoriley]

Up by 13 with 3 minutes to go in the 1st half, Barnes inexplicably takes out Augustin (our catalyst) to avoid him picking up his 3rd foul. Hey Rick, It's you F'ing PG. He can go 3 minutes without picking up his 3rd, and even if he does, big f'ing deal. instead, Texas can't move the ball, turns the ball over, and goes into the half up 5. a 17-4 Kansas run to end the half.

With a big man, a banger, I'd worry about that 3rd foul. With Augustin, tell him to play smart for 3 minutes. Are 3 foul-less minutes worth 8 points? I HATE RICK BARNES.

I really didn't think Texas would have it in them today, but it sure look like they came out firing today.

[babaoriley]

Yeah, clicking on all cylinders until Barnes interjects, completely destroys our chemistry for those last 3 minutes. I will NOT forgive him for that if we lose this game. Nope.

[bigboydan]

That huge run by KU might have just gave them the spark they needed to win this game.

It's going to be one interesting 2nd half thats for sure.

[Razz]

Hahaha. Great title.

By the way, it's amazing how overlooked Augustin is. I honestly think Texas without Augustin would be an equal or inferior team to Texas without KD.

[babaoriley]

Well, for the most part, Texas doesn't have Durant in the 2nd half of games. He's attempted 1 shot in the second half and he hasn't scored in over 10 minutes of game time.

[babaoriley]

The guy has 22 points in the first 14:30 of the game and we can't get him the damn ball... We can't run ANY offensive plays. I know I sound like a broken record, but I beg some of you to watch Texas games and watch how poorly Barnes manages the team.

78-74 Horns with 1:01 left. Great game.

[bigboydan]

Wow! It's all tied up now.

What a game indeed RJT.

[bigboydan]

Were going to OT in this one.

[Razz]

When you get owned by Bill Self, there should be real cause for concern.

[Wassymac]

When you get owned by Bill Self, there should be real cause for concern.

How true that is.

[babaoriley]

And yet, Barnes was absolutely owned by Self.

[rjt721]

Why they matched up in a 2-3 zone up by 3 at the end of regulation I will never understand.

[babaoriley]

Tell me about it. "Hey Kansas needs a three to tie, let's let each of their shooters touch the ball with virtually no obstacles in their way". Unconscionable... And Now Texas gets the 4 seed in the most difficult region. Yay.
