November 18, 20223 yr KState takes out #4 Iowa. Even without Ayoka Lee, KState still has a solid team.

She’s probably more impactful to Iowa than Rori is for Texas 12 hours ago, Pancho said: Are they a solid team, or was Iowa highly overrated Probably a little of both? KSU has excellent guard play with Sundell, but nothing inside without Lee. Bigs will feast if you can get them the ball inside

November 19, 20223 yr 20-14 Marquette leads after 1. Of course Rori isn't playing, but Texas still shouldn't be losing to Marquette.
November 19, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: 31-28 Marquette leads at halftime. Texas shooting 29% from the field MU only at 32% and 12 TOs. That’s why it’s this close. Both teams blow ass at FT (7-15 and 5-10) Edited November 19, 20223 yr by Js1
November 19, 20223 yr 42-41 Marquette after 3 Just now, perfectchaos007 said: 42-41 Marquette after 3. 12-0 win over the final 3 min

November 20, 20223 yr Rori is a key player, but we should be able to beat teams like Marquette without her. This team is disjointed at the moment
November 20, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, Pancho said: What exactly happened to Rori? I’ve never heard. stubbed her toe. Its apparently very slow to heal.
November 20, 20223 yr Gonzaga upsets #6 Louisville, so Texas will play Louisville tomorrow in the losers bracket. Texas is in real danger of starting the season 1-3, which I don't think anyone anticipated with this team before the season started.
November 21, 20223 yr Author I think we end up losing, but the one thing I’m walking away with is that we aren’t getting blown out by any team without Rori. We are competing. If we were getting demolished without Rori, I’d be concerned.

If we were getting demolished without Rori, I’d be concerned. A good point. We keep getting close and then we melt down. Missing Rori’s steadiness but not getting blown out. 1-3 is still 1-3 though
November 21, 20223 yr This team is dysfunctional without Rori. Hopefully we win tomorrow and avoid finishing dead last in this Bahamas challenge, but I won’t hold my breath Edited November 21, 20223 yr by perfectchaos007
November 21, 20223 yr Rutgers is awful. We should win. Coveted 7th place and shouldn’t even be ranked, to be honest. We aren’t top 25 without Rori Morris and Gonzales do not look comfortable. They do not get this defensive style and it shows. I’d be very very hesitant to bring in transfer guards who don’t “get” this system or didn’t play in defense oriented programs. Hunter is, yet again, letting this team down. I’d cut her loose at this point, as harsh as that is - she will never play meaningful minutes at Texas. Vic could have spent the summer finding a legit backup PG, not knowing Hunter would basically disappear by mid-fall and leave us with no depth. If Rori ain’t back by Princeton game, I’m worried. This *should* be a 2 week injury based on what I’ve read.
November 21, 20223 yr From the post-game presser, the players and Vic don't seem down. Someone compared this to the softball team early this year - they needed time to gel with the new players, and look what happened. Vic also mentioned Rori may have "sat her last game" but they may sit her against Rutgers - mentioned she's seeing her doctor on Wednesday and they'll do what the doctor says. Hopefully she'll be back by Princeton.

Vic could have spent the summer finding a legit backup PG, not knowing Hunter would basically disappear by mid-fall and leave us with no depth. We really need Kyndall, but even when she was present, she had a hard time getting on the court. If she truly is having some “non-playing time” related mental issues, I’m sorry about that, but at this point it just feels like she scampered and let the team down. Vic obviously counted on her being the fourth guard and it’s hurting us now. With the new NIL mentality players are acknowledged to be massively important financially to teams. If you burn a scholarship and refuse to play you are definitely damaging to the team’s ability to make money in the tourney and be successful. The team has a responsibility to you, and you have a responsibility to the team. You may suck, but at least show up. (Still hating on Kawhi stealing 18 million off my Spurs and refusing to play..)
November 21, 20223 yr Hard to believe the loss one player could drop us from title contenda to unranked but I'm clinging to that hope now. Very disappointed but we knew we were extremely thin at guard. We also lost most of our staff and I wonder if we are getting some adequate instruction at the different positions, but the issue is mainly lack of ball handlers. When Rori comes back (I’m guessing not tonight but next Sunday vs Princeton) all the players will go back to their intended roles and I’ll bet we’re damned good again. This team obviously is flawed but still might slip through all the way to Dallas. We have some great pieces, we just need to get our captain back and get everyone working together. In the days of the portal, it may take longer for teams to show their true potential. Looks like the losers game tonight is still on the weird streaming service and not even on ESPN+. Furq.
November 22, 20223 yr Texas wins 82-44. Leaves the Bahamas 1-2 and 7th place. Time to get Rori back and dominate the rest of the schedule.

November 27, 20223 yr Shocking news. Texas is a lot better with Rori Harmon. This Princeton team is capable of winning a NCAA tournament game.
November 27, 20223 yr 50-35 Texas after 3. Harmon has 11 and Moore and Jones are feasting inside. Shaylee is struggling
November 27, 20223 yr Vic didn't mess around with this nonconference schedule. USC and South Florida both look like good teams. But there's good opportunities to still pick up some good wins over Princeton, USC, and South Florida.
