Owls hanging in at 11-13 at 10 minute mark.

Defensive effort is pretty disappointing. Running a pack in zone and still getting beaten regularly inside.

Too little aggression offensively as well, penetration or offensive rebounds are always kicked out o the perimeter, instead of attacking the basket or trying to draw fouls.

I'll have to watch this on DVR later. In the meantime, Go Owls!

Texas is killing us inside. However, the bigger concern to me has been our inability to make open shots. In the first half, good passsing led to several wide open jumpers for Rice, but almost all of them clanged off the iron.

This is basketball. You have to have a few guys that can knock shots down. We look very poor overall, so I guess that means it is time to give Braun another extension.

3 on 1 break and the owls kick it back for a 3 point attempt. Terrible.

Guercy finally breaks the cold snap w a 3 ball-- the first shot from an owl shooing out of confidence, instead of obligation.

Saw this thread so I switched over. Yikes.

Watching the LHN is very disturbing for any sane, decent person.

A casual watch of this game leaves no doubt what our new AD's highest priority should be.

JUST our second double figure setback. Seriously, who writes this stuff?

The Owls' field-goal shooting in this game was 16-55 (29.1%) and 6-29 (20.7%) from 3. Ugh.
