topher805 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Consistency will be the key for SFA. Game to game 10 minutes to minutes. Even after the end of first half debacle SFA rebuilt a lead before letting UAB go on something like a 16-1 run. Just can't do that and be successful.Time for SFA to stop worrying about the tournament, and just work their way through conference...We have a favorable start to SLC play and hopefully we can get some momentum going there...

Baron Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Texas hosts UCONN tonight in their first game without Ridely. I suspect Texas will rely more on the 3 ball until Cam can return. That would be the majority of conference play. From what I've read Ridley should be back about a week before the conference tournament. Bad break (no pun intended) for Ridley. Had he remained healthy he would have played himself into the NBA draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he remained healthy he would have played himself into the NBA draft. Yea he was having his best year by far and playing the most minutes ever. Tonight Texas got a great game from Mack but Davis, Felix, and Roach were nonexistent. For Texas to win without Ridely the freshmen are going to have to be more consistent.

That's what worries me about this team. High expectations. Yes walkup is still around, but there are a ton of new faces in new roles compared to the last two years. The potential is there, but they have got to put it all together. There is no Haymon or Parker there to bail them out on an off night. Someone else is going to have to consistently step up.

Outside of Walkup and Pinkney, these are all Brads players... I think they will gel over time, I just think a lot of fans entered the season expecting more of the same, and it is hard to maintain that, especially after the last few graduations. Add in a tougher schedule (Gonna be tougher next year), and there are definitely bumps along the road for a very talented, but extremely young team.

TxFight Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Texas really struggled without Ridley. Horns attempted 28 3 pointers and only made 9. Tech put on a clinic as far as how to put a halt to a frantic comeback bid. 27-30 from the free throw line and got stops when they needed. Texas never got it within 6 down the stretch, but several times had the ball down 6. On the bright side, Taylor was huge for Texas. 35 points, 50% from the floor and I believe 13/14 from the free throw line. Just got literally no help. Felix was the only other player in double digits with 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I saw bits and pieces of the Horns. It's going to take Texas a few games to adjust to not having Cam. He was the focal point of the team on O and D! I'm honestly not sure if Texas can make the tournament without Ridley. The freshmen just aren't consistent enough to rely on right now and it's conference time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It's probably going to be #2 Oklahoma playing at #1 Kansas on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It's probably going to be #2 Oklahoma playing at #1 Kansas on Monday night. Baylor's guards are their weakness. Too many quick shots that clanked off the rim. They have excellent posts, and should have gone to them a lot more. Wouldn't have been such a blowout today... Either way, Monday's game should be a very very good one. SFA beats McNeese 86-57 to open Southland Conference play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxFight Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Texas is going to lose some that they shouldn't and win some they shouldn't. That's what happens when you have young kids that are going to rely on the three ball way too much without Ridley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The freshmen just aren't consistent enough to rely on right now and it's conference time. No potential offense from the big guys now, with the exception of the occasional 3 from Lammert. If the other 2 are about to dunk, the other team will just foul them - terrible at the line. I look for a 7-11 or 6-12 conference record. Hope I am wrong and we win a few more.

WETSU Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That OU-KU matchup was one of the best #1 vs #2 games I've ever seen. Really impressed with both of those squads. The big 12 is very good this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cats69 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Mav what's the deal with LSU? I thought with Simmons they would be a contender. I've seen in the college game one special player being able to carry them. Is everyone else just that bad? Hate to see him being wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their stud PG has not been a stud... about sums it up. 9-6 with some ugly losses, I think they finish 3rd in the SEC behind UK and A&M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
