PJ Tucker has been ruled academically ineligible and is out for the rest of the season. He’s the heart and soul of that team, and they are done without him.
BTW, to get into academic trouble at UT you have to seriously mess up or just not care.....6th street or study hall?????? You think he even knew where his classes were?

On top of that, super-frosh LaMarcus Aldridge is out for the time being and possibly for the season with a leg injury.
Don't feel sorry for them, they're still absolutely stacked.

LA, if I had been Barnes, I would have walked him to class everyday. Tucker admitted he did NOT pass the minimum 6 hours!!!

KU and OSU were more worried about T A&M and OU than UT anyway. Watch the Aggies closley. They are pretty good and now think they ca beat anyone. It is always good to see the Horns go down anyhow, anywhere and against anyone in OP's humble opinion. I think they were overrated with PJ but this should allow them to get back where they belong in the heirarchy.
PJ must be a brainiac. He probably needs more time for study if he is to become a Supreme Court justice someday. Maybe it is his Nuclear Physics class that is giving him a spot of trouble or possibly Quantum.

Big XII is tough this year, no doubt. And A&M may be for real...
But-- OSI not worried about UT? Well maybe that's why UT whupped em so bad in Austin!?!

Exactly. UT spanked OSU in Austin. With Tucker and Aldridge, UT was underrated. When you have three of the best freshmen in the country (Aldridge, Gibson and Williams), a first team Big XII forward in Tucker, two solid big men in Buckman and Klotz, and several excellent three-point shooters coming off the bench, it’s pretty hard to be overrated.
OP, you’re crazy if you think OSU and KU were more worried A&M and OU than UT. That’s silly.

Actually Aldridge didn't play against OSU. And even though Tucker did, I think he only had a few points. I know he never scored until late in the game. Wasn't really a factor. I imagine he knew what was about to happen.

Actually OP may be crazy but sees the real teams as having any chance in March as being KU nad OSU. UT, OU and A&M will have some good wins but the other 2 are the only ones who will be around long in March. I believe the Big 12 overrated. Even KU looked pretty bad today. 21 point whipping and the game wasn't really that close.
