Texas Women’s Basketball 2023-2024: Handing out ass whoopins and lollipops, and we’re all out of lollipops
HS All Star game tonight, 5:30PM, Toyota Center, ESPN2, featuring Jordan Lee and Justice Carlton. Said Texas head coach Vic Schaefer: “Justice Carlton may be the most physical high school player I’ve seen in a long time. Her ability to finish with contact is very unusual for a high school player. She punishes defenders as she finishes in and around the rim. She’s worked hard at expanding her game and can face up as well as finish with her back to the basket.” “Jordan Lee is an incredibly talented, big guard who can score at all three levels and can defend 1 through 4,” Schaefer said. “Her toughness and competitive spirit on both ends of the floor are off the chart. She possesses a great basketball IQ, understands the game and is a tireless worker. She is a gym rat.” 3 Texas Longhorns recruits playing in McDonald’s High School All-American games Tuesday | KXAN Austin

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
https://www.ncaa.org/news/2021/8/13/general-video-review-challenges-approved-for-softball.aspx#:~:text=Under the new rule%2C each,the entirety of the game. Don't know if there are exceptions, seems like more. Official rule above says 2 reviews by coach the the entirety of game. The umpire can review after the 6th inning, the way I read. I think coaches sometimes ask for a review/player change if on offense only to disrupt the opposing pitcher's rhythm.

Should have mentioned, the RPI (first post) is from NCAA Softball. Which ranking carries the most weight ?

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
After an overall great Texas WBB season, full speed ahead for softball. Avoiding the sweep in Stillwater seems to have prevented RPI plunge. (first post) Softball America ranking poll (2nd post) only current one I could find. OKSt at #10 RPI seems low. LSU swept aggy this past weekend.

Texas Women’s Basketball 2023-2024: Handing out ass whoopins and lollipops, and we’re all out of lollipops
Nice story and info from KXAN. Excerpts: “Coach Conradt means the world to me,” he said. “It’s what I envisioned when I took the job, her coming into the office and us drinking coffee the morning after the game and talking over the game. Like, how can you not value that expertise, that wisdom? I may have been coaching for 39 years, y’all, but I’m smart enough to know I can’t do it by myself.” After she sat out of the Gonzaga game while in concussion protocol, forward Taylor Jones practiced Saturday, Schaefer said. That’s a step in the right direction for her to be available against the Wolfpack, but Schaefer didn’t confirm if she’ll play. Texas got great minutes from Amina Muhammad, DeYona Gaston and Ndjakalenga Mwenentenda in Jones’ absence, on top of Aaliyah Moore’s tremendous game with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Texas is going to need all of its low-block players to match up with the Wolfpack’s frontcourt. “They have a big, physical inside game, which we have to deal with a lot in the Big 12,” Schaefer said. “We’ve had to guard some really good inside players, and he (NC State coach Wes Moore) certainly has that. They’re so physical.” https://www.kxan.com/sports/chasing-the-standard-conradts-continued-involvement-paying-huge-dividends-for-schaefer-horns-in-ncaa-run/

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
MW postgame quote. Hopefully, he addressed hitting but was not published. We had 7 hits off Kilfoyl on Thursday, 2 today. She adjusted, we did not. The HBP by Czech was costly and added a runner with the error to set the stage for the 3 run HR. Hindsight always 20/20, but may have been a good time to visit circle since next batter Wang leads OKSt with 11 HRs and added another. No surprise OU swept Kansas. Neither team plays until the series next Friday. Team confidence took a hit in this weekend. https://texassports.com/news/2024/3/30/no-2-2-softball-concludes-series-in-stillwater.aspx

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
Great win. Will be interesting to see the pitching decisions Saturday. Do they go back to game 1 starters, Or does MW go with Simpson, Mac, or Czech ? OkSt has used their 3 best (Kilfoyl, Rosenberry, Aycock). They have a freshman Katie Kutz with a 3.69 era. Kagan only threw 37 pitches, Kilfoyl 122.

@Pancho What is your opinion/prediction of the refereeing so far in the games you have seen ? Concern is they want let us play and accept our physical style. Buoyed by Vanderveer's previous critique.

Texas A&M-CC @ Texas - 6:30 on LHN
Re: Pierce The below is from IT when he was extended in '21. Latest info afaik. Seems he would be safe (unless bottom drops) thru '24 and '25. Key would be if he receives extension in '25. https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/news/new-contract-details-for-beard-pierce-elliott-on-board-of-regents-meeting-agenda/

They have a point - mid to low 30's at gametime. I miss the Nebraska series. We had some great, competitive games at Haymarket Park before their move to the B1G.

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
Good points. I share your concern about Stewart. She did not play Saturday against UCF and only relieved Atwood to catch Simpson in the 5th on Sunday. Perhaps the rest will help. Very small sample size, but Stewart and Atwood are hitting .286 and .222 respectively with 1 HR each in conference play. Ok St plays Missouri St today at 4:30, ESPN+. Glad we are off.

Texas Softball 2024 - Farewell to the Big 12 (and back to OKC?)
Hopefully, the sweep of OkSt last year at McCombs will lead to confidence and victory in Stillwater. Went back and looked at the schedule. Atwood had a game winning single in the 8th in game 1 (1-0) and a game winning 3 run HR in the bottom of the 7th in game 2 (3-2). Game 3, 5-2. Mac pitched game 1, Citlaly game 2, and Czech game 3. We will introduce Teagan Kavan this year. And Mitchell and Stewart. Kenny G is a good coach and will find a way to pressure our defense, perhaps with small ball. That said, Ok St has hit 44 HRs to our 43. https://okstate.com/sports/softball/stats/2024 https://texassports.com/sports/softball/stats/2024

@Florida St, tonight, 7PM, ACC Network Florida St (18-8, #24RPI) lost 2/3 to Duke (22-2) this past weekend. No shame, Duke is playing well. Like UCLA, at this point Florida St is not playing like the WCWS team we have seen in the past (team ERA 3.95). But Lonni Alameda will have them ready in an enthusiastic home environment.

Good point. Hope Citlaly is not injured. BYU (16-6) lost 2/3 to Tech this past wknd at McCombs Thur - Sat.

Need to consider a change. Czech has done well but 3rd time thru the lineup is not her forte vs a team like LSU.

Iowa St 38 OU 24 at the half. Speed of game is noticeable. Baranczyk will have to earn her CoY rep in the 2nd half.

https://d1baseball.com/chats/d1baseball-weekly-chat-march-11/ D1 Baseball (not a member) has a Monday weekly chat on the National scene and often mentions Texas and the B12. If you are on the site early (around 11AM ?) sometimes you can read before it is paywalled. Or check their twitter to see if available. afaik, outside of that have to pick up tidbits from On3 and the paysites. Not sure if Pierce has a weekly radio interview.

LSU swept Kentucky this weekend. Hope springs eternal. 😊 Edit: They played at Kentucky so they may be tired for the 11AM game. ☺️
