Feels weird not to hate the Baylor coach.

Yeah, I don’t know. Good problem to have I guess. I think Moore will have to earn her place again, she’s been out so long. Won’t be as worried about foul trouble down low like we have been in the past.

4 for 12 from the line. 33% good gawd. need to get back on D as well

Damn Booker. This is just her third game.

Really focused on scoring more this year with the midrange game.

Got a little ragged, and Vic felt he had enough of that

Would love to see Shaylee knock down some threes. We’re going to need them later. Harmons got that mid range game going on.

Wow! In the days of so much player movement, in an early poll after some surprising results I guess this should not be unexpected. Pretty fun actually, and any poll that drops Kim down 6 spots has my full endorsement. Texas at #11 feels about right. "It's why we play the games"

That's correct. Real question: Are we still tanking?

And down goes UConn. I was really hoping they would be undefeated coming into town. UConn drawing the crowds, that nc state stadium is packed.

Ha! Slacker

Is that the first time Harmon has come out?

Liberty, tall and good shooters. Great test for us early. We need to face some height, playing a ton of midget mid majors not the best preparation for the conference.

Booker not playing like a freshman. Solid skills.

A large portion of our 20 turnovers occurred at the very beginning of the game. Once we settled in they slowed down. We have a ton of new players and everyone just needs to get on the same page. Once we get Disu back our inside play will be excellent. If this team can shoot a high percentage from three we will be one of the last teams anyone will want to face. Let’s wreck this dying conference.

Yeah, Abmas is starting to get going but Horton is the truth.

Johnson looking pretty good, playing under control. And he’s not in jail…

No Shedrick in the second half?

Texas is 15 for 18

Yeah, the defender bought it too. Hope he keeps using it. It’s a weapon.

I think our prime directive all year will be to get it inside to Jones, which we have seen them try to do in our first two games. Stay healthy Taylor.

Yeah, I was bummed previously and thought Vic made a mistake by not signing a shooter and someone to back-up Rori at point, but Booker and Maul both look very poised as freshman and are willing and capable of shooting the three. Both can bring the ball up and Rori had 9 assists, Madison 7 and Gisella 2. Honestly it took me a moment to realize Rori wasn’t on the floor at times, couldn’t have said that last year. We are so deep I’m having trouble figuring out rotations. Thoughts on starting line-ups and first subs?

I was watching this team, thinking it’s unbelievably deep, and then I realized Gaston and Moore are still on the bench.
