Texas wins 81-60. 1 game back of OU

Texas really had issues with Crooks but our guards did a great job and so did Moore. Jones was invisible today

To be fair, Taylor did have 13 rebounds. 

With 4 regular season games remaining, the 4 teams receiving byes in the Big12 tournament are all but settled.

One of WV/KSU is getting knocked to third next week since they face each other midweek

Texas hosts Tech and OU goes to Cincinnati, followed by OU hosting Ok State and Texas going to UCF 

Also was already Vic’s 100th win at Texas. Only took 130 games

Edited by Js1

Great intro from Coach, leadership matters and he leads well IMO. After watching how this team is starting to settle in, it'll be tough to not have the ball in Bookers hands in the future when Rory returns.

So all we have to do is beat OU in Norman and win our other games games and we will split the Big 12 title (at a minimum) and be the #1 seed in KC

We'd beat OU in the tiebreaker because we beat WV and then we'd beat KSU in the tiebreaker because we were 1-0 against ISU and KSU would be 1-1 (if they win the rematch in Manhattan)

And we know they aren't perfect at home - they lost to both UNLV and Southern at home.  Their Big 12 home schedule so far has been UCF, Cincinnati, Tech, KU (5 point win), KSU (3 point win), TCU and Baylor. 

Texas is 8-1 on the road with our only loss being 3 points in Manhattan.  We've won in Waco and Morgantown. 

I didn’t realize Ayoka Lee sprained her ankle and is now day to day. She didn’t play in their close win over UCF. They host WV this week

The B12 Tournament will definitely be worth the price of admisson.

Any of the top 4 teams could win it depending on how the bracket plays out. Huge gap between the top 4 teams and the other 10

Someone on HornsFans (yes it still exists) broke down why were the #8 overall seed and it boils down to - Vic's OOC scheduling sucked, even with the UConn and Arizona wins

#4 NET
#39 NET Strength of Schedule
#189 NET Non-Conference Strength of Schedule

That OOC scheduling is dragging us down.  We have the signature win, but the competition sucked.

#2 seed might be our ceiling.  However, it we reel off 10 straight wins to end the regular season, win the Big 12/#1 seed in the conference tournament and win the Big 12 tournament, we might do enough to be the last #1 seed or the top #2 seed, which keeps us out of SC's regional, depending on what happens in the ACC and Pac 12. I think SC and Stanford are locks for #1 seeds and the B1G winner will get one (Iowa or Ohio State). The final one will come down to the winner of the ACC or Big 12 (if its Texas, because no one else is going to get it out of OU/KSU). 

Edited by Js1

Charlie Creme bumped us a bit, because he has us the #2 with Stanford instead of SC (where the #8 overall seed would go).

Our pod right now is Texas-Albany/UNC-Penn St and the 3-seed pod is Oregon St-UNT/Creighton-Iowa State or Auburn

I would very much like our chances of making the Elite 8 to meet Stanford in that bracket. 

Wow tech hasn’t won a game this month (and only one final was close-ucf) and managed 32 points yesterday in losing at Baylor by 29. 
 

unsure if that makes them mad, resolved , and dangerous, or an easy win.

They’ve been decimated by injuries, even before the season started. I feel soooo bad for Gerlich

I don’t, she was a bitch when I reffed. 

You have to wonder how long they’ll take her mediocrity, but she is the savior tech fans were wanting when that job came open. To see that dick at WVU succeed in his first year has to have tech fans screaming. 

Madi gets Player AND Freshman of the Week

Quote

Booker collected her second player of the week nod and her fourth freshman of the week nod, after leading Texas to a pair of victories. The forward from Ridgeland, Mississippi scored 23 points, shooting 9-of-13 from the floor and adding seven rebounds in an 82-66 win at Houston. The mechanical engineering major had a double-double against Iowa State, scoring 18 points with 10 assists in the 81-60 win. She finished the week with averages of 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists.

Hopefully a good sign for FOY after a head to head with Crooks.

Vic should win NCOY. We lost arguably the top 2-way guard in the country and are right in the mix for a #1 seed.

He should, yes.  I think someone like McGuff is probably a favorite, or Payne at CU. 

In the Big 12, JB if OU wins the conference outright.  Maybe Vic if Texas finishes tied for 1st and wins the #1 seed. 

13-5 Texas early

Tech's game plan is to contain Booker and make someone else beat them

She’s not even looking for a shot and now it’s 15-14 Tech

That was a garbage final 5 min of the first Q

18-17 Texas 

JFC. Can’t defend the 3

Where's Holle? Started. Then started 2nd quarter but pulled.

 

Maul getting a lot of run here in the 2nd Q

Holle has played A LOT. So many 40 min games the last couple weeks. Vic is giving her some rest

34-31 Texas at half

Yeah, I'd lost count of how many 40 minute games she's played.

Wow this is some absurdly one sided officiating 

Our offense is so slow and measured it's painful. Wide open threes all day but we don't take them so they pack the paint.

Back to the Shays with 5 points, Gaston and Moore with 0

Booker with 4 fouls is a killer

 

52-50

Buckle up for the 4th

Amina is doing work today on the o boards 

Maupin is such a Problem 

Gerlich got a T lol

She fouled Jones to make that happen
