Was hoping Morris could go tonight but I guess it's still too early, the offense looks so much better with her on the floor. If Sonya is out Shay needs to look for her offense more, she's a good shooter who defers too much. I'm also hoping for a little less Jak in this game, still trying to wash her 0 for 10 vs TCU out of my eyes.

"We were missing Sonya tonight who brings a lot to the table. I'm very concerned, she spent the night in the hospital, I was there early this morning and I think she's going to be fine. It's nothing major major, but obviously it kept her out of the game tonight. She'll be living with our trainer the next few days. She's day to day and it will be whenever she can tolerate it. It's something that happened last week and it's just been something that's nagging her - that's kinda where we are right now. It didn't happen yesterday in practice or anything. You hate it for Sonya, she wants to be out there more than anybody - it's her senior year" Rori made shots tonight because she's been in the gym working on it making a hundred 3's a day in practice. Rori said she's feeling confident (shooting) said she's taking more time to focus on those specifics. Vic - "Rori is going to be in trouble tomorrow because she fouled out and I'm not very happy about it" - Rori smiles... This is his hardest year for injuries in his 38 years. Vic - proud of what we did at the free throw line Shay filled in well for Sonya tonight - played 40 minutes Sonya shooting 38% from three - Shay 41% _______________________________________ Some have said the issue for Sonya is a thigh contusion from the Kansas game. - Not stated as such in the interview

You would want to hire a coach who has had long-term success at building and leading a program(s) through multiple player cycles. Not just someone who has done a good job of handling a ready built team through the largest part of one season. You want someone who’s career proves they deserve the job, not someone who is working on building his resume for the job. I appreciate and want to thank RT, he has done a good job for us this year.

Furq, two on Carr, at least Hunter is showing a pulse tonight. -
I feel like the whole year has been us trying to recover after losing those games with Harmon out. And then, of course, the national media heard about us losing Moore for the year so Texas must suck right? No one will want to play us in the tourney, but I would really like to play our first round at Moody. Make it so Vic.
