Beat them at their own game

If you had told me before the game that Texas would score 82 points on us, I would've laughed in your face.

They did, and we still took it. Hung a century mark on their broken horns.

Given our mode of play, and how it favored the UT style of up-tempo offense all night long, it's nice to blow out the (supposedly) 25th best team in the nation when it's all said and done. Perhaps those analysts critical of our offensive punch will shut up for a while. We pushed it just as well as they could, and we did it in constant foul trouble.

Let's not forget how the refs were doing their best to make it a fair game. Kirk and Jones both foul out, and while Dickie is busy giving our eulogy, we show Texas just how deep our bench can be. Davis took up the slack when he had to, and Sloan puts up double digit points. We've answered two questions tonight: What about foul trouble? What about offensively explosive teams?

We've got the bench, and we can be just as explosive.

I know this is gonna sound silly, but it's almost like Gillispie saw how his team was running it's ass off, and seeing an opportunity to show the world what we're made of, he let them keep going. When we had to play D, we did, and we did it with ragtag rotations of people who kept coming in and out.

I can't wait to face Texas and Kansas in the Big XII tourney.
