    It was a great year. 35 wins. Forever to be known as “The Final Four team of 2025.” Thank you Vic and staff. Thank you ladies. Much appreciated.

Booker bang

Big time players make big time shots 

Huge rebound by the frosh 

Rori can ice another game at the FT line 

61-58 Texas

1.6 

Texas wins! 

What a win considering the circumstances. 

Road game and 3rd game in 6 days. You could tell we had no legs at all in this one but found a way to grind out a win. 

Both hoops teams this weekend with the heart attack inducing come from behind wins 

That injury really hurt Rori’s progression . 
 

gutsy win though. They’ve been grinding these last few out 

Let them girls rest tomorrow, Vic. Play again Thursday

Gutsy. This team has proven it can win big and also win ugly. Vic says SEC road wins are like 1.5 wins

She's gassed.

In 6 days she's played 32 minutes, 36 minutes, and 40 minutes today. That's an insane amount of minutes in 6 days. 

Book still managed a double double (12/10) and Jones was awesome (24 on 7-11 FG and 10-11 FT)

Texas second half rebounding was good - we ended up +10 (41-31) and +5 in offensive boards (13-8).

Even though we were -4 in TOs (13 to 9), 17 assists on 22 buckets. Ended up +5 in FTA (22 to 17). 13 TO is about our average so not bad

Our next opponent plays a game tomorrow, so they can have a live watch party/film session in lieu of practice

Vic probably happy about that, but it’s another Thursday/Sunday home and toad turnaround. Granted it’s just aggy at Reed on Sunday, but they’ll be up for it and have 2 ranked wins at home 

1) This is our chance to play our bench more and get some rest in the next 3 games. Missouri and aggy are both bad. Vanderbilt is good but not great and we get them at home.

2) The player we need to get out of a funk is Holle. She's getting wide open 3s and not making them like last year. I think she had 6 attempts today and all 6 were wide open.

Maybe Lee should start for a bit

I think her play has earned a starting nod. Carlton must be in some kind of deep doghouse to not see any action.

After playing a pressing Vol team just 3 days ago, then traveling to Oxford, these girls legs are tired…definite an advantage to home team….not our day.

I just don't understand not giving Preston some run in the 1st half to help rest Rori.  She didn't negatively impact the team late in the game, so why no run early?

Also, Lee needs more playing time and encouragement to be aggressive offensively.  She's the only one after Booker that can create a good shot consistently.

Great win by the team.  Health permitting, March/April should be a lot of fun!

Carlton has the same issue as Jak. Sometimes she thinks she's Kobe Bryant. 

Carlton is a much better scorer than Jak but Vic has a quick hook for players that don't stay in system. You have to run his offense or you won't play.

Jak is earning her minutes playing within the system. Even just from the last few games, she’s not forcing too much

I get it but sometimes I kind of dislike that. I mean what’s the point of recruiting players like Chavez if you’re gonna chain her?? 
 

not saying Carlton is Chavez and he will be more hands off I’m sure but Carlton showed early she had a nice game. 
 

that’s almost like Mack Brown with Vince Young I get it but sometimes I dnt like it 

Edited by D3zii

Carlton has to learn to play against physical SEC post players and every bad shot is basically a turnover. There’s a big difference for Vic between a bad shot and a shot that just didn’t go in. And even Booker has to be reined in sometimes, but she does everything else well 

Freshmen have to learn to adapt to Vic.

Chavez too would have to learn she can’t just come in and chuck it like Clark whenever she feels like it

The player that has to play more is Preston. She's getting limited minutes but having a big impact. 

5:23 vs Ole Miss +11, 3:20 vs Tennessee +6, 10:05 vs Maryland +11, 12:59 vs South Carolina +3, 13:13 vs Alabama +6, 11:23 vs Arkansas +12. She needs more minutes and see if the impact is similar. 

 

I agree. Though she’s played limited minutes the last 2 games bc they were close games. She needs 15+ min in these blowout games coming up:

Mizzou 11-10, 0-6

Aggy 10-8, 3-3

Vandy 17-4, 4-3 (did beat Tenn and Alabama, so not a gimme)

We need Rori fresh for the SoCar, @UK, LSU stretch.

Then we finish with 

Georgia 9-12, 1-6

MSST 16-5, 3-4

Florida 11-10, 2-5

The problem with Preston is Vic doesn't want to add another ball handler on the court with Rori and Booker.  3 players that like the ball in their hands so he would rather pair those 2 with a wing like Lee or Holle. 

I think we should see more minutes with Rori and Preston together even though it's kind of a weird fit and we would be a bit small. Those two together make things hell defensively. 

Aggy gave LSU a game in BR, but I chalk that up to a SoCar hangover and 2 day turnaround. But their defense can cause trouble

And that’s understandable. It’s very hard to take one of Booker and Holle/Lee off the floor. It would be Phelia but alas, here’s hoping she takes a medical shirt and comes back 

Vic just needs to be firm about sitting Rori in blowouts. Like an entire 4th Q if we are up 20+
