    They cut through the Aggies like a hot knife through butter last night. I really expected a very close game and maybe a loss for the Longhorns. But as has been their mode lately they got off to a big lead early and never looked back. Rebounding, defense and shooting all excellent.

    Maybe this is finally the team that Rick Barnes can get back to the final 4. A ways to go and things can certainly go south, but this team is playing very well right now.

    Terry,

    No question that Texas is playing great basketball. I was very surprised at the margin over the Aggies last night.

    Congrats TOK....I think you guys are a lock for the title!

    Seriously, your boys are playing great ball and Barnes sounds like he's got 'em locked in for the stretch run. Big, big win against a strong team in a tough gym.

    Has anybody heard from Scott? :shock:

    I'm fine.
    Not really surprised.
    As I've said elsewhere we've been hiding the lack of scoring guards all season, and getting points from other positions.
    But this last week that has been totally uncovered, and our usually stout defense has also deserted us.
    Turgeon's teams have usually started to find their stride about this time of year, but this season we are struggling.
    He's got a real task on his hands to get this team firing on a few cylinders again.
    Hopefully he can do it before our ticket to the tournament begins to get iffy!
