Mac McClung Topples Texas—Nine Thoughts

1. I don’t like Mac McClung.

Not for me.

2. Ok I’m cool with Mac McClung.

Watched the postgame interview. The arm-waving was good. Also I didn’t know he talked like that. I love it. Where’s he from?

3. Virginia.

Got it. Mountains?

4. Yeah, down by Tennessee.

Ooh, nice. Love that area. Stayed a night in Abingdon once.

5. This was not Jericho Sims’s fault.

Yes, Sims missed some free throws. Because, uh…he’s a big man? That’s what big men are supposed to do, you idiots. Something they’re not supposed to do is effectively guard one of the shiftiest dudes in the Big 12 on the perimeter, and Sims did a whole lot of that too.

6. Andrew Jones is *hot.*

They got to him in the second half, but the guy’s rolling right now. Love to see it.

7. The turnovers bit.

It happened.

8. Not putting teams away bit.

It also happened (though as we’ve said, they’ve put some teams away).

9. Nothing to be upset about.

It hurts in the Big 12 title chase, but Texas was going to need to beat Baylor anyway. There’s no secret about that. Just want to chomp up these next few weeks of opposition and enter February with at least a share of the lead. That’s the goal now, and it’s a reasonable one.
