J'Covan Brown to Begin Classes
It looks like Brown is going to play this fall pending any surprise j'clearinghouse issues as he's reportedly starting classes at Texas on June 9th according to a report Deadliest Warrior. I'm thinking William Wallace vs. Attila the Hun. Offensively, he's a lot like Daniel Gibson, with perhaps...
J'Covan Is In The J'Clearinghouse
He could join the team in June. Obviously, that would create a scholarship crunch, but that's a problem we'd like to have. J'Covan is a 6-2 combo guard and he has a true scorer's mentality. Strong body, good range on his J, can finish and handle. He'll need to learn to commit to defense and...
Avery Bradley at McDonald's All Star Game
The All-Star game was a predictable confluence of basketball suck: no defense, big men attempting to handle and dribble in the open court, selfish play, but Avery Bradley showed me what I needed to see. What I saw: Well, aside from scoring 15 points and grabbing 5 boards while playing completely...
Sooners Capel May Be next In Coaching Musical Chairs
John Calipari's move to Kentucky leaves the Arizona position as the next prize on the job opening list, and according to Arizona sources, they are close to taking Jeff Capel away from OU. Capel, only 34, is 148-74 as a head coach at the D-1 level, including a 69-33 record at OU. OU went 30-6 with...

Texas vs Baylor Jinx, Tournament Seeding and the Bank of Antigua
Let me start by thanking the General, srr50, and Mr. Africanus for the great hoops write ups. I'm pulling for the General to catch something down in Port Aransas this weekend. Preferably something that swims and doesn't require penicillin. Srr50, I hope Bill Little waxes rhapsodic in your back...
College Basketball: Big XII Tournament - Texas 61 KSU 58
Man, do we ever have a shaky basketball team but it was nice to see them compete. With this win, it's also quite likely that we've given ourselves the opportunity to grab a minimum 7 seed and, of course, an eventual shot at a conference tournament title. We actually played excellent defense...
Dexter Pittman is a man
Dexter's all grows up and he's all grows up and he's all grows up. Sexy Dexy put the Horns on his back and muscled them to a win over KSU with 19 points and 20 boards on 8-12 from the field, 3-6 from the line, and 4 big blocks. Texas won a physical contest against the Wildcats with big...
Texas 67 Colorado 56: One Interesting Stat Line
Dexter Pittman: 27 minutes 26 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocked shots. Pittman was 9-13 from the field -- including two missed chippies at the end when he was clearly tired, and 8-12 from the free throw line. He brutalized Colorado down low. The thought of Pittman going through another...
Colorado Post Game
This will be short and sweet because I only caught fleeting glimpses of the game. It appeared that Colorado was outmanned all over the court and especially inside. This was not a surprise. I would like to see Damian and Dexter go for 37 and 21 combined for the rest of March. AJ played within...
