    Vlad at least will be a 5th year. Assuming he finished his degree, transfer credits aren't a problem.

    Games Thread - The Final Four

    Edey size memes aside, that 7 footer has to have some skill and/or athleticism to go with the size and also requires the right complement of guards around them. It wasn't that long ago that we were the 1 seed with the dominant 7 footer and we lost in the second round. This is in no way a dig at...

    Pregame: Illinois vs Duquesne, Saturday, March 23rd, 7:40pm CT, TNT

    Agreed. I think my biggest concern going into tonight is on-ball pressure on Domask, but I also think the amount of pressure and doubles necessary to do this can't typically be sustained for 40 minutes. I look for them to go all-out on it early to hang in the game or even take the lead, but...

    3/22 Games Thread

    Maybe it's personal bias because of how personally painful the game was, but I feel like with the expectations that are put on a 1 seed and the popularity of picking us to win it all, our '21 loss to Loyola is right up there. We looked totally lost the entire game and Loyola took us completely...

    Never once seen a positive post from that "actual fan"

    TSJ Thread

    I'll have to disagree with my own semi-educated speculation on that front. The DA is an elected official that ran in large part due to the philosophy of always believing alleged SA victims. She had a victim who says they ID'd their attacker and the other evidence puts said attacker at the...

    Terrence Shannon Jr. reinstated

    Not even the right legal mumbo jumbo because the full injunction was granted, not just a temporary restraining order, which would be to hit the pause button on the suspension while considering an injunction. This was a bigger win than a TRO.

    Terrence Shannon Jr. reinstated

    End of season awards are a combination of earned and media darling/popularity contests. I foresee some accolades taking into account the latter and snubbing. Hope I'm wrong.

    Would require the University to make a finding of fact that sexual misconduct did occur, though.

    I'm no expert on the OSCR Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they'd have to kick him out of school under the OSCR process, which would likely require a guilty verdict, not just a charge?

    I really hope TJ doesn't own any yellow shirts.

    He's had this over his head to some extent the entire season and played like a man absolutely possessed. Put me in the camp that it'll make him stronger if he manages to emerge from it in-season.

    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    I have to assume that based on the information they were operating under, the investigation resulting in an actual charge came as a surprise. That being said, I doubt they admit that today. Maybe something along the lines of, "the charge being filed was the first credible, actionable information...

    Terrence Shannon Jr. suspended

    I really doubt there will be much of anything to learn out of the statement he gives anyway

    College Hoops Coaching Carousel

    I like Underwood. If everyone internally is on board with each other, I am happy with him as our coach. That all being said, I think most Texas fans would be pissed at an Underwood hire and it only really makes sense if Texas hires someone else and Underwood moves into the vacancy left behind.
