Game 1 - basically tied at half then we outscore them by almost 20 in second half..

Game 2 - we go up 22 and then lose..

So we out scored them by 42 in second half of G1 and first half of G2, but only went 1-1.

What was the key for us destroying them for those 2 halves ?

WE NEED TO WIN THIS GAME AND PLAY DESPERATE. No reason to lose to this tu team if we are legit Sweet 16/Elite 8 contenders.

Manny had a good first half. Didn't play in the second half. Missed FTs. Thinking we won before the game was over. We did that against lsu in the first half but recovered well against a depleted and bad team. tu has some talented players and Marks always goes left to beat us but we let him go left.

Rivalry games don't define your season but we wouldn't have a category called rivalry games if they weren't different in nature.

Beat Texas tomorrow and we can lean into being part of the reason Rodney Terry gets fired or make Texas fans feel crappy all year knowing they are keeping an inferior head coach.
