This is probably Vic’s first team at Texas where the guard play is insanely better than the interior play but it’s not like Vic didn’t try to give Rori a legit scoring guard - Sonya Morris had the thigh issue, Laila Phelia had the eye issue, Crump had the foot issue, Kyndall Hunter washed out
And neither are some rookie who got the job after Trump got sworn in, with no vetting except having a pulse. These are supposed to be seasoned agents who know better.
I really don't get the point of just releasing a first team and a handful of HMs Granted, TK doesn't get half the hype that Canady, FrahmBahl and Pickens get, so Pickens would be 2nd Team and TK would probably get 3rd team
Rori is still running at 6.9 apg to 1.5 tpg. As our primary ball handler, averaging 30 mpg 158 assists to 34 turnovers on the year *Her assist to turnover numbers in SEC play are a staggering 43 assists to 15 turnovers (1/3 of those were in the Ole Miss game), in 29.1 mpg, in addition to 23 steals, 3.4 rpg as the smallest player on the team and shooting 43.5% (8.8 ppg) and 80% from the line
Halfway though the SEC slate (for most, some teams have played 9 games already), Texas sits at #3 in the NET Still feels very much like the top 4 will be the top 4 seeds in the NCAAT, barring someone having a catastrophic slump UConn UCLA Texas South Carolina LSU is just on the outside (#5) but could sneak in if one of Texas/South Carolina falters down the stretch.

Kind of surprising, since Carlton fouled out. Played more 4 guard lineups Oldacre and Cunningham combined for 6 points on 2-6 FG and 2-5 FT (all my KO) and Texas still won by 8 Weird game. Very not Vic like
