You think they'll miss thomas??? What about Durant? Not too many people had an opportunity to shine with him on the floor.

it's tough to tell.  some of the talent wasn't on display last year, that's for sure.  who knows how well some of the backups and new freshman will fill in.

Augustin from the boot is lights out. In my opinion, he's the best player that UT has this year unless one of the freshman is better. I watched him last year and he is going to be an elite player.

Augustine is the catalyst... by far the best player and all the other guys are solid..  Thomas is on the way to being cleared and he is an animal.  Augustine can be lights out from the arc, hopefully his short game is better this year.  Conner has improved every yerar.  Pittman will be a star one day, his work ethic proves it.  Mason will be better as well as the new big men.  But! Watch out for Damion James...  He might be the best player... This kid averaged 26 pts, 11 rebounds, and 9 blocks a game as a senior in high school!  As he gets more comfortable at the three position he could honestly be the best play they have!!!

If there starters from this year stay till next year Texas WILL win a national championship

Ha Ha Ha. . .I am an aggie supporter and I think the Big 12 is extremely competitive. But no Big 12 team will ever win a basketball national championship as long as the ACC and the SEC are in existence. Those divisions have a monopoly on mens college basketball.

I think Kansas has a legit shot at winning a national championship

AHA Point taken. . .Kansas has slipped my mind. I would agree with you on that one. They definitely have a chance at it depending on th year. They still normally get edged out in the end, but you are correct on the legitimacy of their chances.

I somewhat agree with you, but i'd say that over the past five years Texas, aTm, and Kansas have all had teams capable of winning a championship.  Now i certainly agree with you that it might not have been likely, but they all had teams that could've beaten anyone at anytime.  (also, wasn't OK State really good for awhile?)

The PAC 10 and Big East will be better than the SEC and the ACC this year...  The SEC, PAC10, ACC, Big East, and Big ten all have 10 total championships with the Big twelve only owning 4!  It is the Big 12 time soon!

1991 Duke (32-7)

1992 Duke (34-2)

1994 Arkansas (31-3)

1995 UCLA (31-2)

1996 Kentucky (34-2)

1997 Arizona (25-9)

1998 Kentucky (35-4)

1999 Connecticut (34-2)

Yeah and MSU got beat by Grand Valley, and your wife probably turned ya down the first time you asked her out. It's still early. . .they're gonna get theirs. When you see me start a "GO KATS" post at the end of the season when they are in the final 4 don't be afraid to come eat some crow!

      After his silly conviction, President Trump has raised over 200 Million dollars!  The people are seeing through it!  Excellent!

      Let’s see if joe biden’s words about no one is above the law, made after the rigged trial of President Trump, rings true with his po💩son.  Hopefully, but I’m not going to hold my breath, they put the sorry sob in prison.

      Larry Allen Dead at 52

      I liked his no bull crap attitude. He was a man of very few words. Extremely strong and freaky athletic!!! As close as possible to being the best offensive lineman to ever play the game. I hope his family finds peace without him!!! RIP #73

      State Tournament

      By Chester86 · Posted

      Chester, a small town in NE Tyler County.  A town that is seeing growth with the addition of a national chain store and a new school being built.  If you travel 287 toward Dallas from the Golden Triangle you have probably passed through Chester.  Things tend to stay pretty consistent and it is your typical small town.   A trip to state is the buzz around town, and the talk before church services begin on Sunday.  This year’s graduating class will number 11.  We don’t have a radio station that covers the Yellowjackets.  We are never a lead story on any of the news stations that broadcast to our community. With all that said, there is a closeness and sense of pride in our community.  Every community rallies behind their kids as they progress into the playoffs.  We are proud of our boys as they have represented our community well and with class. We invite you to follow our boys as they go to state.  We welcome the greater SETX communities as honorary Yellowjackets.  Tune in, watch live or come to Round Rock personally and join us in supporting the Chester Yellowjackets.  Go ‘Jackets!!! ⚾️💜💛⚾️🟣🟡⚾️💜💛⚾️
