71-21 Texas lol

So just turned this on and my streaming provider guide is still using the HBU logo. Have they not changed it yet, or is dtv stupid?

Gaston has been on a nice little tear.  I hope she can keep it up. 

Texas wins 96-34. 

It just sucks Rori was out those first few games. 

How many games does Texas win out of Louisville, UCONN, and Marquette with Rori? I say 2. They would probably be top 5 in NET with Rori healthy.

Probably a 1 or 2 loss team with Rori playing all season.

TexasSports Preview

Texas Women's Basketball Media Availability [Dec. 27, 2022]

Taylor Jones: Vic said she’s got an appointment in a week or two, said she’s feeling good and was doing stuff off the court today which he said was encouraging. Said hopefully they would get a good report when she goes in.

 

Defense: He was asked if he ever tells the team to back off on defensive aggression due to the team being thin at spots and he said he didn’t think you could ever tell kids not to play hard; you can’t play worried something might happen so no that’s not a conversation they have ever had.

Said Christmas travel was a real struggle for a number of players but they did get them all back.

That’s the fastest timeout I’ve ever seen? TAMC calls timeout after 27 seconds lol

28-9 Texas after 1. Just unfair haha 

50-24 Texas at the half 

84-38 Texas

15-6-10 for Rori with 7 left. Night is probably done, so close to a triple double 

96-53 final. Here comes Big 12 play this weekend 

25 assists and 6 TO will win you a lot of games

TAMu commerce won the 4th quarter. Our bench isn’t deep due to injury and it shows 

Masudi and Gutierrez finished the game on the floor. I don’t think Rori or Morris even played the 4th Q. Faye and Gaston played less than 20 min each. No one was in foul trouble either. 

Who cares about who won the 4th Q. We were up 40 points going into the final frame.

Vic Shaffer! After we routed JSU, Vic lamented the 4th quarter performance as much as he did the first 3 quarters. Garbage time is serious business in Vic’s mind lol

Lol Vic has to find something to bitch about in these blowout games. Because we only had 6 TOs in the game and forced 20. 

Can I just say that these coaching staff uniforms suck. Can they really get that much $$ from the manufacturer? Both women's and men's staffs are wearing them.

In truth, all I miss is when Vic takes off his suit jacket.

If KState plays like they did in their win against Iowa, this is going to be a tough one. They have played us tougher than Iowa State in recent years despite mostly being lower ranked than ISU

That’s because ISU is a finesse team that Vic’s defense can stop pretty easily. KSU plays a more post-oriented type of offense, or did when Lee was healthy, and our post players neutralized her pretty easily.

This will be an interesting matchup without Lee and our post depth

39-19 Texas at half 

I said this a couple games ago but this looks more like a Schaefer team. 

Moore was obviously a loss but replacing her with Faye/Muhammad at the 4 has made this team much more athletic and defensive minded. Also, Schaefer is starting to stagger the Gonzales and Morris minutes. 

A starting 5 with Moore, Gonzales, and Morris just didn't fit what Schaefer wants to do on the defensive end.

And Gonzales is scoring while Morris is not. If those two ever played at the same level in the same game, that would be nice 

Morris 0-7 while Shaylee is 5-12 for 14 points 

Morris and Gonzales should not be playing more than about 15 minutes a game together because Holle is good. Holle can  do things on the defensive end that both those players can't do. 

 

Rori 9-9-7. Flirting with a triple double again 

Vic got T’d in a 30 point game lol

11-10-7. Back to back point/assist double double for Rori. Needs 3 more rebounds 

Muhammad is the exact type player Vic would create in the lab. 

I didn't expect her to be this good but also didn't expect her to play this much due to injuries. 

Morris heard me talking shit

I don't think zone really works against this team. 

I know Morris has been cold but Morris and Gonzales can shoot. This won't be a viable strategy. 

This is an ass kicking.

Took Morris some time but 9-23 as a team will get it done. 

Morris 4-10 but 4-4 after going 0-6

Shaylee 2-5

Holle 3-5

Rori to the bench with a 15 point, 8 rebound, 13 assist day. God damn 

I thought the ceiling was going to be much lower once Moore was injured but not totally sure she's all that much better than Muhammad. 

This team can still be really good if Muhammad keeps playing like this.

Get Jones back and Rori is 100% healthy. Rank us again, cowards!

Anissa bucket. The Mood is lit!
