  1. You're thinking of his brother, Boozy.
  2. RT's showcasing him for the many NBA execs in attendance.
  3. Weaver is just all over the place. Hard to overstate how much we've missed his fire. If he were still out, we'd probably be trailing.
  4. I didn't have "teams switch jerseys" on my bingo card.
  5. Kaluma is a swirling vortex of suck.
  6. What a shame. We should be honored to step into the same fiery crucible that forged the legend of Julian Larry and Jayson Kent.
  7. Hasn't Haith stolen enough from Texas already?
  8. Cit's been really good. I know not everyone has faith in her, but she's produced. That big win over OU in Austin last year showed she can do clutch things.
  9. TK's really solid. Unfortunately, once there's any disruption of her rhythm, she can quickly get into trouble with the long ball. Let's get a few more runs and remove any remaining drama.
  10. Nothing against Bennett, but it's a shame we were forced to move Goode to SS. Vivi's loss was major.
  11. What they call a high-water mark elite programs would refer to as a ring around the tub.
  12. Awesome change up right there for a big K.
  13. Stewie suddenly in a funk. Let's hope it's brief.
  14. All I'm sure of is that the media specialize in recency bias. They just saw us look inept against the defending national champs, and I'd have been shocked to see them not vote accordingly. Exhausted or not, you don't throw weak trash at the rim all game and not get punished for it. We flunked the eyeball test. Might not be fair, but we'll have to deal with it.
  15. Dude just ran a wind-aided 10.33 at 220 pounds. Serious wind, but also a serious time. Shows a 4.39 40 on his X profile. Not seeing a Texas offer, but hopefully we at least have a close eye on him.
  16. When you're a halfcourt team getting throttled by good athletes, you'd better be able to come up with some transition buckets and occasional off-platform points when sets break down. We honestly don't have that kind of freewheeling scorer, which is why Chavez would be such a key part of the future. I don't know as much about Crump but am hopeful she also can loosen things up. As noted, though, it all has to be done within the framework of what Vic will allow.
  17. We can afford giving up some offense for solid defense against inferior teams. But not once the clear formula for defending us is out there and we're facing teams with ample firepower. With opponents sagging into a zone, Holle has to score in transition and hit at least a third of her threes. Great Longhorn, but she has to be MUCH more effective through the rest of March. Of course, Holle's not the only one. Nobody really looked that good on offense today. Staley told her D to simply ignore Harmon, and we saw how that turned out. Just a discouraging overall team effort, even if partly due to fatigue. We didn't give up all that many points, but I thought we had major issues on D. Whether mainly because we were exhausted or simply facing superior athletes, we were regularly getting beaten one on one. I know Vic detests the zone, but if you're always losing drivers on high screens (whether switching or not) and giving up a parade of layups, you simply have to try something else. Especially when tired, we just aren't quick enough to stay in front of good ball handlers driving off the wings. Burned time and again, leading to layups and/or fouls. I think we're somewhere between the third and sixth best team in the land. Hope we prove to be better than that, but it will take a real surge in our play to change my mind.
  18. Except for Jones, our starters all had to play huge minutes against Old Miss and LSU the past two days. Not much left in the tank today, as was apparent from the start. Very different from the situation when we played SCar in Austin.
  19. Vic says she doesn't get tired. Based on her shooting, I beg to differ.
  20. We weren't exhausted, for one. Everyone played better.
  21. When you have numbers in transition and then your 5-3 PG still gets stymied under the basket, there's not much good to say. Meanwhile, 50-50 balls are about 90-10. We're getting crushed by a deeper, better team.
