CThoops Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 Young Texas team. Thompson is a beast. Great early season win against a veteran Illinois squad, and I agree, Texas will be a lot better than people think.
ForeverADog Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 Texas needs a PG who can score to make them great. Until they have that they will need to win on the defensive end like they did tonight. They were best with the great point guards (TJ, Boobie, and DJ).
bullets13 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 glad to see this young group beating a very good team... looks like we might be shooting up the rankings again this year, and hopefully this time to stay.
NaturalBeauty80 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 man! that was a great game last night. very excited to see what barnes will do this season and how thompson will continue to dominate the paint.
shorttexas1 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Posted November 19, 2010 I was very impressed with what I saw last night. My only issue with this team is guard scoring. It seems like Gary, Thomas, & Hamilton will need to shoulder the scoring load. I have a BIG problem with that. Navy have a couple of bigs with gerth and strength and they pinned Thomas under the goal on multiple occassions, and he struggled. Illinois though tall, none of the bigs were strong or thick! I think he will struggle with Pitt too. Gary is short in the post eventhough he plays big. Hamilton can revert back to jacker at any moment! We need Brown or Corey to step up and give this team at least 10 to 15 PPG. I am so excited from what I saw but I also have BIG concerns!I need Lucas to slow down... Looks out of control alot..I need Brown to make the RIGHT play and not always the fancy play! I need Corey to shoot!I need Hill and Wangmene to use all of their fouls!

I never saw him in the Pitt game, but I did wait late to watch the game.
