Tenn State barely lost to Texas by 1 @ 47-46.
Not sure how it went down, but even rebounding with Texas..

Hopefully we will be ready to play.

Boiler Up!

Interesting that Texas has a top 3 draft choice at center and he was totally dominated inside by TN State. He wound up shooting 1 out of 8. If Haas can't score, we are in trouble. I have a felling they will be well prepared and may hold Haas to 20.

 

[buffboiler]

Pick your posion, the Haastile environment on the offensive end, or Haarms way on the defensive end at the rim?

The trouble for them is that they can't only have one way..

Love it!!

Texas is pretty trash this year, and looked pretty trash tonight against Tenn. St. I wouldn't use the closeness of that game as much of an indicator of how they'll match up against us. Tenn. St. committed over 20 turnovers versus Texas; if they do that against us, Luce will get quality minutes.

From what I have seen of Texas, their center Bamba is all potential and hype. He will have some highlight dunks and blocks, but Isaac Haas is a MUCH better college basketball player at this point.

Tenn St doesn't have much height off the bench. Their starting bigs must log a lot of minutes. Didn't see that stat for them.

Sorry for not finishing the overview but the Boilers romped them the same way IU did to Fort Wayne the other...oh wait...nevermind.

Texas is not very good...especially with their big men behind Bamba being out.
