March 13, 20241 yr Our backcourt next year is going to be hilarious. Harmon, Booker, and Lee (#8 recruit but rumor is she's going to end up top 5). Just insane talent next year in the backcourt.
March 13, 20241 yr Didn't see her play? https://texassports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/abbie-boutilier/12622 6'9" and has a TWIN sister, who I couldn't find any info on. Can you imagine 6'9" twin towers on the Longhorns team!!!!

March 13, 20241 yr Vic low key been out here handling business with this roster building. if we can find an athletic big next season sky’s the limit

It's the only way we can run back the roster with this recruiting class coming in. I would be surprised if at least 2 of those players don't transfer.

March 13, 20241 yr Gotta love Vic's genuine love for his team. Everyone says they're proud of theirs, but you can tell this guy really means it. No surprise he's been able to get so much out of them.

If Rori gets a medical RS there's also a possibility we get 1 year of Harmon, Booker, Lee (#8 recruit), and Chavez (#1 recruit in '25). I'm not sure there's ever been a more talented backcourt in WBB than that if it happens.

I'm not sure there's ever been a more talented backcourt in WBB than that if it happens. They’ve petitioned. We’ll find out in the summer if she gets it Vic’s regular season + conf tournament results: 20-21: 18-9 (0.667) semifinals 21-22: 26-6 (0.812) winner 22-23: 24-9 (0.667) runner up 23-24: 30-4 (0.882) winner
March 13, 20241 yr I don't think it's going to happen but I would love to see Texas try to get Chavez to reclassify. A backcourt of Harmon, Booker, Lee, and Chavez is just one of those opportunities where you say "fuck it let's see if you can beat us with this level of talent."
March 13, 20241 yr Total team effort tonight. What a job Vic has done this season with this banged up squad.
March 13, 20241 yr Didn’t even win conference coy. Would be funny if he did get some national coy honors- just make the conference look more petty.

I haven't heard anything lately to suggest a strong lean toward any suitor.

March 13, 20241 yr Vic has 2 Big 12 tournament titles and both times, a freshman won MOP (Harmon and Booker). The only 2 freshmen to ever win Big 12 tournament MOP
March 13, 20241 yr I said it last night, but the next evolution of Booker's game is improving her 3 point shot. Her jumper is so good and her FT shooting is INSANE (88%) that I fully expect her 3 point shooting to be much better after a full offseason. And she's still at 31.7%. Texas has to work to get Shay more opportunities (38%) and I still am in the LET MAUL PLAY camp (39%) when teams go zone on us.

I hope she gets a little run in the playoffs.

Can you imagine 6'9" twin towers on the Longhorns team!!!! She's recovering/recuperating from stress fractures that resulted from running with a broken toe. Talked to her dad before the game and she's chomping at the bit to get into the lineup next season. With a 7-foot-3 wingspan, it's amazing how she could go eliminate 25-point a night threats from players like Lee and Cooks.
March 13, 20241 yr I hope the committee just admits on Selection Sunday that individual team NET does not matter *that* much. SOS and wins matter more. Texas - #3 NET, #2 NET conference, 30 wins, #18 SOS, 10-4 Q1 record and 6-0 Q2 record (combined 16-4 Q1/2 record) best wins: #2 UConn, #18 Baylor, #14 KSU (twice) Worst loss: #28 OU (twice) All 4 losses by a total of 14 points and without Rori Harmon* USC - #10 NET, #1 NET conference, 26 wins, #8 SOS, 13-4 Q1 record and 5-1 Q1 record (combined 18-5 Q1/2 record) Best wins: #9 Ohio State, #4 Stanford (twice), #17 Oregon State (twice), #6 UCLA Worst loss: #42 UW at home Lost to Utah by 20 points and the other 4 by 20 points combined There's not that much difference between Texas and USC's Q1/2 record but USC is going to get a #1 seed because they play in the Pac 12. Despite a pretty bad home loss to UW and a 20-point blowout to Utah Only 3 teams in the country with 30 or more wins (Texas, South Carolina and Gonzaga). But we aren't deserving of a #1 seed

March 13, 20241 yr Functionally it doesn’t matter being 4 or 5. I just want to see the 1 bc this team earned it
March 14, 20241 yr The way the men's season has gone just makes me even happier we have Vic Schaefer guiding the women. He's been so good for years, but this year's coaching job has been simply masterful.

March 14, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, Gut Wagon said: Hard to imagine similarly little love for UCONN. What's behind all this? UConn's issue is the lack of elite OOC wins (L to NCST, UCLA, South Carolina and Texas) and the Big East is the 5th best NET conference. They beat MD and UNC, who didn't finish ranked, and a middle of the pack KU team. Their only good OOC win was probably Louisville, who finished 5th in the ACC. No one, not even UConn fans, think they deserve a 1 seed. It just reads "we want to showcase Clark and JuJu so we have to give them 1 seeds" Maybe we've all been wrong this whole time and the argument shouldn't be Texas or USC but Texas or Stanford?

USC I think is deserving. Maybe Iowa is, but I have doubts. Presumably it will all sort itself out as the tourney progresses. Still annoying that we made it easier on the committee by twice losing to OU. Ugh.
March 14, 20241 yr Of course it will be Clark but huge honor that Booker was named in the top 10 for Naismith POY. 1 of 3 freshmen - Booker, Hidalgo, JuJu Vic is also a semifinalist for COY
March 17, 20241 yr Crème’s last bracket before tonight’s selection show: Texas is the 2 seed in Portland 4. USC is the 1 seed. Our Austin pod would be 2 Texas / 15 Norfolk State and 7 Tenn / 10 Maryland USC would not have an easy road - ISU is their 8 seed and Indiana is their 4 seed Texas would need to get past 3 NCSt to make the Elite 8
