    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.

FT shooting isn’t gonna be a strength…

Neither is the 3 ball. We missed all of our attempts today. 

Texas wins 91-61

Hopefully, WV makes the finals of that Gulf Coast tournament or else this non-conference schedule will be a snooze fest outside of ND. 

12/14 or 13/14 games will likely be blowouts dependent on if WV makes the finals of that tournament.

Don’t forget we have Maryland in the 2025 portion of the schedule

Phelia might be the best pure scorer on the team. Think her minutes will increase eventually. 

She is deceptively athletic

Phelia scored nearly 17 points a game for 2 years at Michigan. 

21 minutes a game here doesn't seem like nearly enough but you have to really buy into the defensive end for Vic to trust you. Still, she's too talented of a scorer to only play 21 minutes a game. 

We are doing well offensively without a 3 point shooting threat and Moore having a really slow start to the year. She better be careful or we will be starting the 4 guard lineup or Carlton will take her spot. I like what I see from Carlton a lot

This defense travels, so we are going to be in a lot of games when we have poor shooting nights

The thing about 3 point shooting, is yeah we aren’t making many 3s but we aren’t attempting many 3s. Until teams can keep us out of the midrange and paint we aren’t going to jack 3s. 

Are we a poor 3 point shooting team or just a team that scores better at other levels? We won’t find that out until a few teams go more zone against us.

Not just zone, but when we encounter teams who can match our size and neutralize our inside game of Jones/Oldacre.  Our guards are going to have to hit outside shots to soften up the inside. 

WV has 6'4, 6'3, 6'3, 6'3 up front, so that will be a good first test
ND has 6'3, 6'5, 6'3, 6'4 up front
Maryland has 6'2, 6'2, 6'2, 6'2, 6'3, 6'2, 6'6 up front

And Texas has to contend with the likes of 6'3 Culliton, 6'4 Johnson, 6'2 Scott and 6'4 Beers at OU, 6'5 Wolfenbarger, 6'6 Del Rosario, 6'1 Morrow at LSU, 6'3 Watkins, 6'3 Edwards, 6'5 Tac, 6'2 Kitts, 6'3 Feagan, 6'4 Dauda at South Carolina, 6'2 Gaston, 6'4 Milton, 6'5 Akinbalawa, 6'4 Scott, 6'5 Thurman at Auburn, etc.

Vic’s NIL 

31-10 Texas after 1

53-23 Texas at half

20 for Booker
12 for Holle
11 for Harmon

70-34 after 3

Texas ins 83-41

Not much of a 2nd half to write home about - 53 first half points, 30 second half points. But we only allowed 18 points in the second half, after 23 in the first half. 

14 for Holle
11 for Harmon
25 for Booker
9 for Oldacre
7 for Preston

Boutillier is back in a walking boot like she was all last season. When you’re a 6’9” woman and 2XX pounds your joints aren’t going to allow you to play for long. She may never see the floor in college basketball

Didn't watch. Is Phelia injured or benched for some reason again? 

Retinal detachment, said someone on HF

UNI beat #8 Iowa State, 87-75

According to Vic during yesterday's post-game interview, Phelia was hit in the jaw during practice Tuesday so they kept her out of the game as a precaution. She should be good to go during their Thanksgiving tournament.

Ouch.  She's had a weird start to her Texas career. 

I think transfers have a bit of a culture shock coming here. It’s a different level physicality that they aren’t prepared for.

Some of it is just bad luck - Phelia getting hit in the jaw and missing some games/early PT, the Sonya Morris thigh injury

ND beat SC 74-61

aggy is horrible.

It will be interesting what aggy does with Joni Taylor at the end of the year. It's only been 3 seasons but it clearly isn't working out. 

We should be challenged in the championship game at this upcoming tournament. WV is pretty good. They've been destroying everybody including a couple power conference opponents.

Is FloSports the only platform showing the games? I aint paying for flosports so I'll just scoreboard watch if so

UCLA up 43-22 at half on SoCar 

South Carolina will still be good but think people are coming to the realization of how good Cardoso was. Their offense ran through her last year.

And defensively, Betts is really affecting all the interior play for SoCar. Not getting easy looking 

aggy is dog water. Down 16 in the 4th quarter to Ball State. 

They have to be one of the worst power conference teams in the country.

Exhibit A of her being a meh hire was that she got Barker to follow her to aggy and then couldn't keep her there. Aggy NIL for WBB must be god awful. 

They've lost to TAMUCC by 6, WV by 21, Villanova by 8 and Ball State by 13.  They still play 2 more P4 teams in non-conf - Syracuse and KState.  They might be the worst in the SEC, and are currently dead last at 3-4

Kyndall Hunter has played in 7 games, started 1 - 5.7 ppg, 37% from the field, 28% from three, 1.6 rbg, 9 assists to 14 turnovers

Yeah, they won't win more than a couple games in the SEC.

Joni Taylor is 31-37 (8-24 in the SEC) at aggy. It's about to get worse this year. I don't know what her contract looks like but I see no way she's surviving past this season.

Yes. It’s $20/mo and then you cancel, so $10/game. Not worth it 

Duke beat KSU

LSU eeked out a 1 point win over Washington 

Congrats to UCLA on their first ever #1 ranking in this week's AP poll

1 UCLA
2 UConn
3 Notre Dame
4 South Carolina
5 Texas (down one spot, likely for not playing and voters not wanting to punish SoCar too much)
6 USC
7 LSU
8 OU
9 KSU
10 Maryland

12 WV (gonna be a big one assuming both Texas and WV make the champ game)
14 Kentucky
18 Ole Miss
23 Alabama

RV: Vanderbilt, Tennessee

OU loses to Duke. 

They still don't play a lick of defense. Feels like that style of play has a ceiling (see 3 straight 2nd round exits in the NCAA tournament). 

I'm interested to see what happens with Crooks after this season.

Iowa State is never going to be anything more than a sweet 16/round of 32 type team. Could you imagine Crooks with this team next year? My guess is several teams will try to buy her after this season. We should be one.

Gaston hit the go-ahead game winning 3 pointer for Auburn today. When did she become a 3 point shooter lol

Looks like Gaston got her wish of being the go-to player but it's just for a team that isn't very good. I guess everyone has their own desires though. 

I would expect us to utilize the bench a lot in these first 2 games of this tournament. 3 games in 3 days. 

Moore benched early again in this one. I don't know how much longer you can keep her in the starting lineup. That big lineup is not working with her.
