for what it's worth I thought Hold Me Back looked magnificent in the post parade on Espn . he looked very lean and fit . might have been an optical illusion in that post parade shots on tv usually don't separate any horses in terms of fitness.

Oh lets not go there.

No.
Lets do.

Texas has a bunch of athletes that
have a severe dearth in the area of
basketball IQ. The refs can screw up.

But when we got numbskulls that...

I am used to rooting for an overachieving
NBA team so it is very hard rooting for kids
that play a game their body was made for,
but their brains... its a no go. I like smart
basketball. Texas is very hard to watch.

Very.

Sorry.

Back to my incompetence on synth. surfaces
and the complete void that I live in trying to
figure out which 3 yos are actually good that
run on the stuff. Feel free to continue on
the debacle at Turfway. for me anyway.

Expecting to play Duke and not get hosed by the refs is like expecting to bet on horse racing and not having a takeout. You have to know what you are getting into. Duke, Connecticut, and Big 10 teams can do whatever they want. Everyone else has to play by the normal rules of basketball.

How do you call a loose ball foul with 10 seconds left where a guy puts his arm out to protect himself from an out of control player???

aside from the refs, if Texas could make free throws they would have won.

That was a foul, no question. He used his arm to create an advantage. The over the back call was a phantom call for sure but that was a dumb play by the Texas guy because he looked like he was in position to get the ball anyway.

Not to mention the Duke player missed both free throws and Texas failed to get the rebound.

There were a number of times Texas did not
block out in the last 2 min. and Duke got tips.
I would rather not see a stupid team go on.
Cannon is being kind.

Damion James is physically a 1st round draft pick.
Mentally he is D-league.

DJ why did you leave us?

I'm sorry, but having watched Texas fail miserably in recent years whenever it really counted, I didn't expect anything but at the end of that game on Saturday.
