Texas Women's Basketball 2021-2022 - "Vic's Got It Going!!"

Featured Replies

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.

    Didn't find a recruiting thread for Coach Vic, so here it is. This is a very good pick up for Coach Vic, Sammie has been courted by L$U and U$C all season (My daughter is part of Reagan's girls b

  • She won't play.  She's rehabbing an ACL injury.  She wasn't going to play her senior year at CP regardless, but now she gets an extra semester of Texas Athletics medical care and rehab.  Smart play, b

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. 🙄

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.

Why are we playing at 11:00 on a Wednesday?

It's the Forty Acres Field Trip.  We always do a day game for the kiddos (few thousand 4th through 7th graders) 

Texas wins 88-47. 

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.

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.

Wow, I don't see us anywhere close to #2 but we'll take it. 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.

I didn’t. 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.

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.

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 

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).

Yeah, she's very hit and miss. Luckily in the tournament we got the good Celeste.

Hunter and Kobe each had boots on their right foot. 

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.

Ashley is a great defensive change up off the bench. Harmon is the starter 

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.

We'll take all the help we can get, especially in an away game.

Surprised Hunter is injured, hopefully back soon.

Carr and Harmon = Gold

 

 

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

Schaefer said in the PC after the game that he thinks Hunter and King-Hawea will be back soon.

So Celeste is averaging about 13.75 points per game at a .500 percentage with about 6.5 rebounds per game.

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.

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.... 😄

Tennessee has really struggled to score without Burrell. 

59 vs Southern Illinois, 49 vs UCF, and 52 vs USF.

#12 Texas at #16 Tennessee

The Lady Vols have won at least a share of the SEC regular season championship 17 times (with the most recent occurrence being in 2015), won 17 SEC tournament championships (with the most recent occurrence being in 2014), made 18 Final Four appearances (with the most recent occurrence being in 2008), and won 8 national championships (with the most recent being in 2008).

Head Coach:  Kellie Harper 2019 - present

Kellie Jolly Harper (born May 3, 1977)[1] is an American basketball coach who is currently the head women's basketball coach of the Tennessee Lady Vols. Prior to coaching at Tennessee, she served as head coach of Missouri State, NC State, and Western Carolina.

In college, she was one of the starting point guards for the Tennessee Lady Volunteers during their three consecutive NCAA women's national championships from 1996 to 1998. In 1997, Harper was named to the Final Four All Tournament team.[3]

Tennessee under Coach Harper:

2019–20               21–10   Postseason not held due to COVID-19

2020–21               17–8      NCAA Second Round

 

As texasstrong12 reported earlier Rae Burrell is hurt.

Tennessee Lady Vols star forward is reported to not have an ACL injury but is out indefinitely according to head coach Kellie Harper.

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 by texasstrong12

bullshit calls now.  college refs are fucking awful.

Its coming.  these refs are going to give Tennessee the game. guaranteed.

Edited by dcar00

Tennessee can't score so of course the refs start giving them FTs every possession. This is so bad. 

forearm shiver from Tenn player. no call.

Tennessee hedging hard on Matharu. If Gaston or Ebo just roll to the basket they will get a layup. 

Basket is evidently about the size of a thimble right now. Somebody step up with the O. 

Are we going to blow it?
