Old Titan Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 A public service announcement for the so-called basketball experts who only show up this time of year (aka Kenny and Chuck). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! I'm a former German professor and I never noticed this before. This explanation is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXCELLENT!!! Thanks! Never knew why it was pronounced the way it was, but understood somehow we were pronouncing it correctly and not as a made-up pronunciation.

Keenan Henderson Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Texas marches on in a rock fight with Colorado State. Max struggled in shooting the ball tonight but made solid passes and defensive plays. He did what it takes to win. The Rams looked like they were out of energy after playing Tuesday night and then having to travel to North Carolina.

MrsSmith Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Texas is going to have to play a LOT better than they did yesterday if they want to win another game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point Mrs Smith. Max has to shoot better versus a top level Tennessee defense. Texas was 1-14 from 3 yesterday, if that happens again the Longhorns will get cooked.

2014Grad Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Longhorns vs Tennessee right now on CBS. Super intense game so far, Max off to a slow start but I have a feeling he’ll have some magic tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Brent Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I have been shocked that Texas has not utilized Max very well in the NCAA tournament. It doesn’t look like they’ve designed pick and pop plays that he was so effective when he played for ORU. He has not been allowed to drive to the basket to shoot one of his patented teardrop layups. It seems Max needed a lot of touches in order to get his scoring going. He’s been relegated to the role of simply feeding the ball to other players. It’s been sad to watch in comparison with his glory days at ORU. I wish Max all of the best. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 What a career Max had at ORU and Texas: 8th all time in scoring and made the Sweet 16 with the Eagles. I think he will get a contract with the G league next year. If he shines there then who knows, maybe he gets a chance with an NBA team. Not saying he will get drafted but he should get some looks from NBA organizations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be up to his agent to find him the best situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been able to get to the basket and has forced some bad shots. Maybe he was banged up as the Big 12 is a really physical league and not able to take any plays off on the defensive side. His lack of athleticism really started to show towards the end of the season. I think Max will be a lot like Caleb Green and make a great living overseas for the next decade which is not a bad thing at all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play there for a decade like Caleb Green and save some money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
