Really sloppy ending with all the backups in. 

Texas wins 70-53. Now 6-2 in conference  

5 wins in a row before we get dismantled by Baylor Friday night. Then 8 days off to bury and mourn our dead.

  • Looks like Vic is officially annoucing the assistants today:       

  • It’s not even that.  There are several teams that could have beaten Baylor (I think) during Aston’s tenure, but Aston is really, really bad at Xs and Os as a coach.  She also had terrible assistants.

Quite the 1-0 barn burner

Exhilarating 

Down 5 at half. 29-24

this is some ugly basketball from Texas.

game over.  3 possessions into the second half.

we are fucking clueless and so completely un-athletic.

She’s so not getting re-upped

god I hope so and I hope that CDC can finally cut us from the Conradt/Lopiano/Plonsky horde.  what a fucking disaster it has been.

Aston is such a shitty coach.  the players have no idea what they are doing.  3 times in the 3rd both defenders went with one player on the pick and twice with the player that didn't have the ball.

our fundamentals are horrible, we can't shoot, we are awful inside 5 feet and we are slow.  we keep trying to drive and Baylor just sags and we drive right into the double in the lane.

The "play" at the end of the 3rd was a prime example.

ha.  mulkey with the fuck you subbing the entire starters for the bench.

20 point drubbing. Embarrassing 

CDC has a LOT of fucking house cleaning to do. I personally think he needs to have a quick trigger on Pierce also.

 our Athletic Dept was a dumpster fire for a god damn decade.

Clueless is the great phrase. That third quarter was a disaster

You are totally right.  I agree with you on all of those.  But something too often overlooked about real quality coaching is in game adjustments.  The Aston defenders say look Baylor owns us but look at our record.  We win because we out talent most of our opponents.  Where we lose almost every game is the inability to coach up or make adjustments in game and especially at halftime.  Most teams we often beat have coaches making far better game time decisions.  This is where Mulkey kicks most of her peers.

In my view, the issue with Aston is simply that we're playing for 2nd place in the Big12 every year. Mulkey has Baylor women's basketball at an elite level and Astooon is not up to that. We have to decide if playing for 2nd place in women's basketball is suitable. If not, where are we going to get a coach to match Mulkey? I don't believe any of the established, elite women's basketball coaches would move to Austin.

Well no shit, we aren't getting Dawn, Geno, Muffit, or Mulkey.  And those are really the "elite" coaches in the game right now.  I think Walz is attainable, and he (and the Oregon coach) are the two right now who I think are "gettable" that can dethrone Mulkey.  Mulkey is 57, but that's a hard 57.  Like damn. 

With that said, what's every crazier about the program this year is just how down the conference is.  There's only 1 ranked team in the conference--Baylor at #2.  And they might win the whole thing again this year.   This program can't even take sole possession of 2nd place in a conference that is very, very terrible this year.  That speaks volumes as does our offense, which I've seen better offenses ran in the Southland and SWAC conferences than I've seen from Texas. 

With that said--I'm worried.  I'm worried Aston might actually pull out a top 3 finish (in a very, very down year for the big 12) and make the tournament and CDC will give her something like 2 more years.  All the teams we beat on the road were teams I thought we'd lose to, combined with losing to Tennessee and Stanford.  That didn't happen.  The next month is going to be interesting. 

I’d take Walz. Or a top assistant like Shea Ralph.  

It’s terrible. Holy shit. Telling young girls to kill themselves? 

I wonder if there is a basketball coach-mart that CDC can sign up for before he goes shopping.

Terrible 

holy shit that is terrible basketball.  we have to be the dumbest team on the planet.

Ugh we came back from 11 down to win by 15

solid second half. Tech isn't good but its a win.  this team seems to go as sutton goes.

Yeah Karen has saved her job. 
 

well damn 

She might "save" her job but apathy has set in. Very little energy from wbb fans.

Let's see if we can maintain 3rd in the Big 12 when ISU comes to town.  

Baylor 10-0

TCU 8-2

Texas 7-3

That WV loss hurts - they are 4-7 right now in conference.  We should be 8-2 as well.  Big 12 lookin like a 3 bid league - Baylor, TCU, Texas. 

this team is dumb.  Its like Aston's coaching is "play fast, hurry up, go,!"  they end up looking like complete idiots.  slow the fuck down and make the right play

Holmes with a special case of butter fingers tonight

we're giving ISU wide open lanes for layups. Our defense is very confused

there was one break where the guard had a clear lane and had beat the defender and our defender under the bucket went with a ISU player to the corner instead of stopping the ball.

its amazing what a well coached team on offense can do. 

what the fuck?  one handed passes, not looking for the ball, behind the back dribbles for no reason.  this team is so obviously poorly coached.

Down by 9 at half. could be worse

Like the 8-0 run to start the 2nd half. 

So long Karen

It's clear Karen has to go, but i'm just hoping CDC doesn't hesitate in firing 2 basketball coaches at the same time. If he only fires 1, it's going to be Shaka
