November 17, 20214 yr Pretty balanced scoring with 5 min left in the 2nd Q 7 for Ebo, 4 for JAT, 5 for Matharu, 6 for Moore and 5 for Holle. No one really dominating. Texas shooting 46%. SEMO with 14 turnovers but only down 16.
November 17, 20214 yr Looks like Vic is trying to get everyone some PT. Treating it more as a practice game. Warren on the floor only once so far. 🙄
November 17, 20214 yr 42-18 Texas at half. Only allowed 6 points in the 2nd quarter. Texas 48.5% shooting, led by JAT with 11, Ebo with 8 and Harmon with 7. Forced 18 turnovers so far.

November 17, 20214 yr Obviously early season and small sample size warnings apply, but we're #2 in Massey after the win over Stanford. Sorry if that was mentioned. Moved up 23 spots in his ratings set. https://masseyratings.com/cbw/ncaa-d1/ratings Lots of parity this season according to his ratings. Pretty unusual for women's basketball to see so many expected losses for the top 10 teams.

It's going to be an exciting season and we will definitely be in the conversation. Could not have hoped for a better start, I though we were done after losing Celeste.

Celeste is a good player but I would take all 3 of the guards we added over her. Matharu, Harmon and Hunter are more talented. I think this will end up being addition by subtraction by the end of the year because these young guards wouldn’t be getting as many minutes if Celeste was still here.

November 17, 20214 yr You can certainly see the difference when Rori is on the floor. Nice to see so much of our bench get a lot of burn, I thought Gaston started to show some signs of being back but Lattimore had some freshman struggles today. I didn't think the score was representative of what was possible with so much of our bench playing, but a valuable game for us in the long run. On to Tennessee on Sunday at noon. Two games for us on back to back Sundays on ESPN, getting some respect. Won't see as much of this bench in Knoxville.
November 17, 20214 yr Celeste plays good defense but is a streaky shooter and not great from 3. Her Duke career this far: 8-13 (0-2 three) for 17 points and 5 rebounds 4-12 (1-3 three) for 11 points and 8 boards 2-7 (0-3 from three) for 11 points and 7 boards 7-9 (1-1 from three) for 16 points and 6 rebounds 2 great games with 2 shooting clunkers in between
November 17, 20214 yr I didn't watch but did Hunter play? Texas is going to eventually need Hunter because of the shooting but I get the idea that Schaefer is sending a message to her about defense. Schaefer has been very critical of her defense (as he is with most FR).

Luckily in the tournament we got the good Celeste.

November 17, 20214 yr No offense to Chevalier, but Harmon has been a noticeable upgrade this year as our starting PG. They both play tight defense and can run plays for the offense, but Harmon is a scoring threat whereas Chevalier isn’t much of one, and that makes a difference. Harmon is the best PG I’ve seen here since Brooke McCarty.

November 18, 20214 yr I just realized that Rae Burrell is out with an injury right now for Tennessee. So that makes the game on Sunday a bit easier. She's Tennessee's best player.

November 18, 20214 yr Only won this one by 41. Will probably win this weekend by even less. Not a good trend, I’m concerned.

I'll take the rebounds but your right, she's shooting a lesser percentage than our better players and from three she's not good. .222 JAT needs to spend a little time on that 3 percentage as well.

I think this will end up being addition by subtraction by the end of the year because these young guards wouldn’t be getting as many minutes if Celeste was still here. You are right, so far those three guards have shown serious promise especially Harmon, who appears to be a program changer. Lot's more to come from Hunter and Matharu. I can never tell how recruits are going to work out, they look great on the recruiting boards but i have no clue if it will translate to the college level. I suck at evaluation but I guess that qualifies me to coach the football team for the past decade.... 😄
November 19, 20214 yr Tennessee has really struggled to score without Burrell. 59 vs Southern Illinois, 49 vs UCF, and 52 vs USF.

November 21, 20214 yr Ladies getting punked just a little. Need to get more aggressive. 28-27 at half.
November 21, 20214 yr So apparently you can't touch Tennessee. That's like 5 possessions in a row with a foul and at least 3 have been soft as fuck. Edited November 21, 20214 yr by texasstrong12
November 21, 20214 yr bullshit calls now. college refs are fucking awful. Its coming. these refs are going to give Tennessee the game. guaranteed. Edited November 21, 20214 yr by dcar00
November 21, 20214 yr Tennessee can't score so of course the refs start giving them FTs every possession. This is so bad.
November 21, 20214 yr Tennessee hedging hard on Matharu. If Gaston or Ebo just roll to the basket they will get a layup.
November 21, 20214 yr Basket is evidently about the size of a thimble right now. Somebody step up with the O.
November 21, 20214 yr Man, Tennessee extended that 2-3 zone and we just got scared. Haven’t scored in 7 minutes.
