Brian:

Cal and Oregon still on CBS. Texas game should tip off soon.

40acressports:

Horns and UConn tipping off now on CBS. #UT has Balbay, Mason, Bradley, James, & Pittman starting.

Brian:

Pretty clear goaltend IMO. Looked like it was eitehr off the glass or on its way back down.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:18 Brian

40acressports:

A little surprised to see Wangmene as first #UT big man off bench. Thought Clint Chapman might earn more minutes against KSU.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:21 40acressports

3:21

40acressports:

Texas playing good defense early away from the basket. Lots of UConn turnovers. #UT

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:21 40acressports

3:21

Brian:

Wow. Texas doesnt have anyone that can run or jump with UConn’s Stanley Robinson.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:21 Brian

3:23

40acressports:

Back to back bad calls against #UT. Wangmene hit on his shot then on other side of court UConn pushed off Bradley and they called it on AB.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:23 40acressports

3:24

Brian:

Rough layup attempt by Matt Hill. Barely left the ground and bricked wide open shot.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:24 Brian

3:29

40acressports:

Seriously how much body contact is UConn allowed on “blocks”? Jordan Hamilton then tackes turnover and drains 3. #UT

Brian:

9 turnovers on UConn already after that offensive foul. Lazy pick attempt by #34

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:30 Brian

3:33

40acressports:

Dexter Pittman picks up 2nd foul on high pick attempt. He might be headed to a 3 minute first half.#UT

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:33 40acressports

3:35

Brian:

Hamilton does so many good things on offense but in his limited minutes but completely lost on defense a couple times in a row.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:35 Brian

3:40

40acressports:

My biggest complaint in college hoops is ticky tack fouls called away from basket, and then complete murder allowed inside on shot. #UT

Why are no comments going through, been here and nothing being posted.

Brian:

Sorry Peter, got distracted by the game.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:47 Brian

3:51

40acressports:

Damion James just picked up 2 quick fouls in a row. #UT might be without both him and Dex for last 5 minutes of 1st half.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:51 40acressports

3:53

40acressports:

There was TONS of contact when Justin Mason went up for that layup right? I’m not just imagining things? #UT

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:53 40acressports

3:54

40acressports:

BTW, I’m also live blogging the #UT game over on the site at http://bit.ly/5Jh8XN Add #40 to your tweets to have them included.

Saturday January 23, 2010 3:54 40acressports

3:57

Brian:

Great to have a player like Jai Lucas available off the bench who can handle the ball and knock down the 3.

tylerjameslee:

Watching TX/UCONN would be more fun if we had beaten Alabama…. still holding on to that #40

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:01 tylerjameslee

4:06

40acressports:

Justin Mason hits 2/2 free throws (!!!) to stretch the #UT lead over UConn to 42-34 at the end of the 1st half.

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:06 40acressports

4:21

40acressports:

9 seconds into 2nd half Avery Bradley throws it down and UConn quickly calls a timeout. #UT

[Comment From UTbornandbredUTbornandbred: ]

anyone know the score of the Kentucky game?

[Comment From UTbornandbredUTbornandbred: ]

how’s everyone feeling about our chances to be Kansas? I think we’re going to roll right over them!

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:21 UTbornandbred

4:23

Brian:

@UTbornandbred: Kansas is heck of a team and if Dexter Pittman and Damion James get in trouble like they have today I don’t know if Texas can beat top competition. The fact that the game is in Austin is huge factor.

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:23 Brian

4:25

Brian:

Dogus Balbay just got called for 3 fouls in a 20 second span.

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:25 Brian

4:28

lovemylonghorns:

@UTbornandbred: At the moment Kentucky leads Arkansas 78-32 with just under 15:00 to play in the game.

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:28 lovemylonghorns

40acressports:

In about 40 seconds Dogus Balbay picks up 3 quick fouls and UConn cuts 10pt #UT lead to 3.

whats the score

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:36 Aaron

4:37

Brian:

Texas leads 52-48 with 14 minutes left in 2nd half.

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:37 Brian

4:41

40acressports:

UConn hammers Bradley on the shot. Random imaginary call against Dex Pittman is his 3rd. This game has been very poorly officiated. #UT

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:41 40acressports

4:44

tylerjameslee:

…. and this is why I give Rick Barnes crap. Seriously — you wait till now to call a timeout? I would like him to recruit only. #40

Saturday January 23, 2010 4:44 tylerjameslee

4:47

40acressports:

Damion James has been quiet this half. The senior leader has to take the team on his back, calm the troops, and demand the basketball. #UT

Kentucky game final: 101-70

looks like they’re going to be #1 come Monday

40acressports:

Awful foul on Jai Lucas way away from basket with UConn down to a couple seconds on the shot clock. #UT

Saturday January 23, 2010 5:11 40acressports

5:15

40acressports:

Not sure which sinking ship to watch, the #UT basketball team or Titanic on TNT. Hopefully Horns recover better than Leo did.

Saturday January 23, 2010 5:15 40acressports

5:21

40acressports:

With the way UConn shoots free throws (almost as bad as Texas) this game isn’t quite over yet. Need some 3’s and some prayers. #UT

Saturday January 23, 2010 5:21 40acressports

Brian:

Final score: Texas 74, UConn 88
