August 14Aug 14 Yeah, she was a good pickup bc we needed someone who isn’t afraid to shoot She was the only player who hit a 3 yesterday against PR. Also read Oldacre rolled her ankle and didn’t play the whole second half. I know Vic wants to redshirt the FAU girl but I think we need her
August 14Aug 14 The final was 85-45 in our first real game with this year's team. Held PR to 28% FG, 26% from 3 (5-19) and they only hit 44% of their FTs. They had 34 turnovers. 39% FG (went down quite a bit in the second half with the game out of hand and Sarah Graves getting garbage minutes) 18% 3P (4-22) 55% FT (19-34) - Oldacre 5-8, Cartlon 6-10, Preston 1-4, Sidberry 2-4 with a few others going 1-2 25 assists to 16 turnovers 22 steals and 2 blocks as well We did that with Booker, Lee and Harmon basically no-showing the first game. Oldacre had 17 points and 11 rebounds in about 9 minutes total (rolled her ankle in the 1H and didn't come back), along with 2 steals, 1 block and no turnovers Rori 4 points, 2 assists, 3 steals, 1 rebound in 14 minutes Lee 1 point, 3 assists, 1 steal in 16 minutes (only took 5 shots) Carlton 18 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block in 25.5 minutes Book 2 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal in 18 minutes Preston 9 points, 11 assists, 1 rebound, 2 steals in 26 minutes Judd 15 points (4 threes), 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals in 25.5 minutes Crump in her debut had 0 points (took 4 shots), 3 rebounds, 3 steals in almost 24 minutes Cunningham 9 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals in almost 14 minutes Sidberry 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals in 16.5 minutes Play Team Canada tonight on ESPN+ (7pm) Edited August 14Aug 14 by Js1

However, if Judd shoots 40% from three, we're already better off than last year. Well to be fair - Of those 12 missed shots, 4 were from Sarah Graves. Hell yeah, let the walk-on shoot it when she comes in the game in a blowout. That's what the fans love. Jordan Lee was 0-3 Booker was 0-1 Crump was 0-3 Sidberry was 0-1 Lee and Crump just had a crummy day (0-9 combined) and I hope they bounce back against Canada tonight. Edited August 14Aug 14 by Js1
August 15Aug 15 Texas up 24-16 on Canada after 1 Lee and Sidberry with 6 each Cunningham and Crump with 4 each
August 15Aug 15 Texas leads 43-35 at half over Canada. Just realized Latasha Lattimore is on Team Canada Booker with 12 (2-4 from deep) and Crump with 10
August 15Aug 15 Texas goes to 2-0 with a 70-61 win over Canada. That was a good Canada team with Ejim, Avery Howell, Lattimore and Day-Wilson Booker 18 (3-6 from deep) Crump 13 (1-2 from deep) Sidberry 10 Rori and Book both had 8 dimes Much better from the line (20-28)
August 15Aug 15 Canada's U23 team we played last night consisted of a lot of women who have just finished their NCAAW careers. It is basically the team just below their Olympic team and featured 6 players who finished their eligibility in college. WALLACK - 4 years at Washington State EJIM - 4 years at Gonzaga (2x WCC POY), was drafted in 2025 by the Fever RUSSELL - 5 years at Louisville HOWELL - 1 season at USC and just transferred to Washington; #23 recruit DAY-WILSON - 4 years at LSU LATTIMORE - 4 years of college ball (Texas, Miami, Virginia) and transferred to Ole Miss for her final year DANIELS - 2 years at MO State and transferred to Wisconsin KYEI - 4 years at Oregon WHEELER - 4 star in the class of 2026, committed to Stanford Whereas Texas played 3 sophomores, a freshman and 2 juniors HARMON - super senior BOOKER - true junior CUNNINGHAM - true junior SIDBERRY - true senior LEE - true sophomore PRESTON - true sophomore CRUMP - true freshman CARLTON - true sophomore JUDD - true senior OLDACRE - true senior (did not play last night)
August 16Aug 16 Horns lead Brazil 42-28 at half Another new starting lineup - Preston, Harmon, Booker, Judd, Cunningham 9 for Crump (1-5 deep) 7 for Carlton (3-4 FT) 6 for Lee (2-4 deep) 5 for Cunningham and Preston (1-1 deep)
August 16Aug 16 Texas finished pool play 3-0 with a 90-54 win over Brazil 4 players in double figures, led by Preston’s 22 (2-5 from distance), 15 for Cunningham (7-10 FG), 12 for Lee (4-7 from deep) and 11 for Crump. Booker just missed being the fifth with 9 points (4-4 from the field) Harmon had 8 dimes and Preston with 6 15 steals for Texas and forced 25 turnovers. Also had 7 blocks
August 17Aug 17 Texas leads Canada 39-33 at half. Canada’s offensive rebounding is keeping them in this one Harmon 9 Lee with 8 Cunningham with 6 Judd with 5 Booker and Carlton with 4 Texas 3-10 from Three Canada +3 in rebounds (23-20) and offensive rebounds (10-7)
August 17Aug 17 I've only seen the last few minutes, but man...we've looked bad. I assume this isn't how we've been playing.

August 17Aug 17 This redhead from Canada is a perfect 6 for 6 behind the arc. Does she have any eligibility left? Tie game late in the 3rd

August 17Aug 17 I've been watching for 20 minutes of actual time and have seen us score a whopping 4 points. Bad basketball.

August 17Aug 17 Harmon missed an open layup. This is just ugly basketball by Texas. Maybe they ate too much poutine at dinner last night
August 17Aug 17 We lost the tournament but hopefully we didn't also lose Oldacre for the season. An ankle injury on a player her size could keep her out a while.
August 17Aug 17 First I've seen us play. Hopefully an anomaly, because during the minutes I saw (admittedly our worst of the day), we looked marshmallow soft. Our guards' inability to get by anyone was disappointing, as was everyone's inability to shoot. Cunningham did make a few layups. Then Howell bullied us out of the deep end of the pool all by herself. Edited August 17Aug 17 by Gut Wagon

Then Howell bullied us out of the deep end of the pool all by herself. We just kind of ran out of gas in the 2nd half, but we did play 4 games in 5 days, in Team Canada's home turf, with a different ball (the larger FIBA ball, not the NCAA ball). Definitely not making excuse, because Canada also played 4 games in 5 days. Also besides Howell, Team Canada is loads older than us and more experienced. I mentioned something like 6 players combined for nearly 30 combined seasons of NCAA ball, with one of them (Ejim) a WNBA draft pick in 2025. Canada roster's was probably an average age of 23/24, while we had a freshman and a bunch of sophomores and juniors playing. Canada definitely matched our physicality and Howell just couldn't miss from deep. We did pretty well for a team with 4 new players (Judd, Crump, Sidberry, Cunningham) and down 1 major returner (Oldacre) for 3 of our 4 games. Edited August 18Aug 18 by Js1
