    Yea, this team has a number of problems. They don't even look like a top 10 team right now.

    Even if they dropped in a few more FTs and won, I think Longhorn fans should've still been concerned.

    FT shooting is not close to their only problem.

    Agreed. Poor FT shooting is just the most obvious problem. They have many things to fix. Looks like UT has a lot of losses on the schedule ahead of them.

    We have NO real rotation...rick still doesn't know who to go too....

    point guard is still a mystery...

    defense is very so so at times

    we still get bullied inside in games..

    Wow, you make it sound like the Longhorns suck. I haven't followed college ball much this year, but how did UT win 17 games in a row? Was their schedule really weak to begin the season?

    Somehow we have 4 point guards but none that really can seem to win the job. Until that spots get resolved, this team is going to struggle - it goes back to Barnes' one weakness: he needs a point guard that can manage the offense or the offense will look horrible.

    Whatever week we play the worst team in the B12, Barnes should just cancel practice and only have all the players shoot free throws the entire time.

    Oh of course... They can't even put the ball in the basket when they do get close... One of their main issues is on the offensive end early on. I think their defense has been pretty solid up till now.

    It wasn't easy at all...I mean UT had some tough games and handled some really good teams with ease.

    But I am not shocked, these boys are very young still.

    They won on the road!? Did the earth just tilt??

    I have no idea what Dexter is even thinking out there anymore. He's just a 10 minute figure in the paint.

    I'm really not looking forward to it to be honest.

    Longhorns not looking that great again today. Still sucking at FTs but really poor shooting all around thus far.

    And bad defense among other things.

    They just look lost out there.

    I can't remember a bigger turnaround happening so quickly for a team.

    They went from looking like a sure-fire Final Four team, to a team that doesn't look like it should even be in the tournament.

    It is just unreal.

    Well at least we're not shooting 50% free throws anymore. 38% is much better.

    I've never seen a team shoot so terrible from the line... I mean Memphis was bad last season but not this bad.... Damion James looks like he's not even trying to make them.
