December 5, 20214 yr This is why Gaston was the #1 recruit at one point. It's just a matter of if she can stay healthy. Not many players her size that can do this type stuff on the perimeter.
December 5, 20214 yr Like Tennessee, the worry is going to be depth with 3 players out due to injury.

December 5, 20214 yr 10 point lead at the half for Texas. This is where we were against Tennessee and then we shit the bed late and lost. Good opportunity for us to turn a corner
December 5, 20214 yr Gotta keep pounding the ball inside if aggy continues to play these 4 guard lineups. Ebo or Gaston will have a huge mismatch inside.

Good opportunity for us to turn a corner Maybe but I think the big issue in that game was lack of depth. Tired legs in the 4th. Probably going to have the same issue in this game as Gaston and Ebo are having to play almost all the minutes at the 4/5 right now. Schaefer's full court system/"40 minutes of hell" means you need a ton of bodies to play this way. Edited December 5, 20214 yr by texasstrong12

I mean, I think its unrealistic at this point to expect all scholarship players to be healthy at once. All teams go through injuries, and just look at what happened with Bueckers at U-Conn today. Tennessee was down their leading scorer when we played them. Being healthy is a huge advantage but difficult to count on.

Being healthy is a huge advantage but difficult to count on. Yeah, but being down 3 players (2 of which would play huge minutes) is a major problem in Schaefer's system. He runs full court press almost all game which means you need 9 to 10 players. Injuries exacerbate problems in Schaefer's system because you need so many bodies to play this way.

December 5, 20214 yr aggy gets a good look whenever they put Ebo in pick and roll. Let's hope they don't realize this lol.
December 5, 20214 yr Our offense goes to shit when Allen-Taylor, Warren and Ebo are all on the court together. Need Harmon and Matharu to stay on the court together.
December 5, 20214 yr Ebo needs a break. She's completely gassed but not sure what we will do at the 5.
December 5, 20214 yr This is where depth really becomes a problem now. That's 4 on Gaston. Ebo gonna have to play now even if she's gassed.
December 5, 20214 yr Warren and Allen-Taylor give effort but they just aren't good offensively. They're leaving Warren wide open. This team will ride or die with the youngins.
December 5, 20214 yr Matharu and Harmon can't come off the court or we won't have enough offensively.
December 5, 20214 yr Can our post defenders not play defense without hacking? Every entry pass is a shooting foul. I get that they are tired.

December 5, 20214 yr Ebo is killing us but we don't have another option right now unless you want to play a FR with little to no experience.
December 5, 20214 yr Schaefer is such a good coach. He's told his team Matharu is getting the ball every possession.

December 5, 20214 yr Best thing to stop our bigs from getting abused is to continue this full court pressure to prevent them from getting the ball inside.
December 5, 20214 yr Just now, Pato del Muerto said: Harmon with matharu and hunter will be unfair when it happens. Yup. Hunter might be a better pure scorer than both. Scary hours.
December 5, 20214 yr Now we're playing somebody that's hardly played at the 5. Trying to buy at least a couple minutes with Ebo having 4 fouls.
December 5, 20214 yr I don't think I would double the post because aggy needs some 3s. Just play straight up in the post.
December 5, 20214 yr This is a top 10 team when Hunter and Moore come back. I don't think that's even a question really.
