tlong you make so many stupid absurd statements just like jgw that the one time hell freezes over you are going to try and say, ha i told you so, and completely forget all the other asinine things you put forth.
Could Stanf win? Of course they could; however the Lopez twins haven't dominated anyone with a winning record, and it is the play of the guards that will determine this outcome.

Talk about stupid absurd statements. :lol
Did you not watch the game against Marquette? Or their game against WSU when Brook Lopez had 30 and 12? Or virtually any game Stanford has played this season?
The Lopez brothers will be the deciding factor in this game. UT will only be able to get shots from the outside and that will make it more difficult for them to be accurate.

That being said, if they knock down those outside shots the middle will open up for Mason and Augustin to drive and pass. But everything depends upon hitting the outside shot and Stanford is probably going to give it to them in the beginning of the game (which to me is suicide).

Aaah, here lies the point. One player can take over a game. One Lopez, one DJA. When was the last time a team was completely overwhelmed by "the Lopez twins" as you put it? The other one can't stay out of foul trouble, can't hit a free throw to save his life, is a turn over machine, and is only slightly a better rebounder than Hill. Talk about stupid absurd statements; you are the king.

Texas will have to commit to limiting Stanford to as many one and outs as possible. They've been burned on the offensive glass by a few teams this year but that can't happen Friday if they want to play again on Sunday.

Tlong is right on this one. Texas has not faced a frontcourt comprised of two mobile, active, shot blocking and offense threat 7 footers all season. It will be hell. I still think we can do it, but it will be very tough, and if we are cold from 3 point land, we lose. That simple.

Mr Dio

Lopez twins will be a force.
Brook is insane.
I just think that overall, UT will prevail because it is a deeper team. Who knows, that is why Davidson is in the Sweet 16 tho...
Gonna need RB to rotate the F's in & out & get 1 or both Lopez' in foul trouble & maybe even have a UT G or 2 penetrate & draw some fouls on them as well.
Don't discount the home court tho....
Ima tellin' ya, the largest # of UT alums is in the H-town area & they aren't short on cash & prob have been snatchin' up the ducets since before selection Sunday in hopes of seeing the Horns.

It opened at 1 and has moved Texas' way...but this game is too tough to call.
Texas should win this one by 9+...but I'm not convinced Abrams & Co. are going to continue to shoot lights out with the way they have the court configured @ Reliant. Pass on this one...better value out there.
Sparty on the ML and small play on Nova @ 12.5.

Did both of those, hahaha. Also made a very small Davidson play - just a hunch.
My Texas take is that 43K Longhorn fans are going to rattle a pretty weak road team in Stanford. 10-6 away from Maples. I don't think the court is that big of a deal - Vandy and Minnesota play major conference schedules on similar setups. All that size scares the crap out of me. Cardinal goes 7'0", 7'0", and 6'8" across the frontcourt.

I may be overanalyzing it, but with the NCAA putting the court on the 50 yd line instead of at one end and closing it off with a curtain, the lack of depth perception could hurt Texas' shooters.
If Conner & DJ hit a few early from outside, the Trees are going to have to bring those Lopez boys out away from the basket.

Totally Disgusting.
They waited until 1:20 to go in the first half to even get off their fucking feet during the Memphis game, and the second memphis got a dunk during the initial 2nd half run, not one single Texas fan stood up the rest of the game.
