Also why is McCormack playing? He's a terrible offensive player and he can't guard Kai Jones on the perimeter whatsoever. The guy just cost us at least 7 points in the last two minutes there. [Reply]

I think there is a fair chance that at 37 with bad knees, that I'm better than McCormack. [Reply]
You play a five out lineup with five guards or Lightfoot in the 2nd half and you still might win the game as long as you up the 3PT rate. McCormack isn't doing anything but hurting them in this matchup (which is the same as most matchups). [Reply]

What we need to do is be strong with the dribble. UT can't really defend anything other than the ball. We're letting them run us off our spots and aren't confident enough in the dribble to make them pay. Garrett is the only one that has and he's not even a very good ball handler in traffic.
I guess the other option is move it back and get more motion. UT absolutely cannot play team defense and it is straight up embarrassing we can't beat them like a drum. [Reply]

It should be noted Texas is 4th in KenPom in defense this year in the country. They've been very good. [Reply]
