  1. Orange and White tonight at 5:30 at the Moody.
  2. Don't forget to vote for our ladies. You can vote once a day. Vote Here
  3. Rori made All America second team. More accolades for our sophomore point guard. Congrats to Rori.
  4. 6 months of 82 games trying to fail, just to have a seat at the loser’s table on a nail biting May 16th date with an 86% chance of not winning the 7’2” prize. Hell I’m in.
  5. Taylor Jones is up for The Lisa Leslie Award presented annually to the best women's basketball center in D1 You can vote for each player here
  6. No, you are correct. Two separate games with no winners facing off. We play Illinois and go home.
  7. Aaliyah up for the Katrina McClain award which recognizes the top power forwards in women's NCAA Division I college basketball.
  8. A handful of Horns on award watch-lists this year. Well deserved.
  9. Texas basketball media days: Longhorns express excitement about upcoming season Senior guard Shaylee Gonzales: "We have a really stacked team right now. We're going to be super tough. I actually got here two months ago. I'm a grad transfer (from BYU) and the differences between teams, I just feel like this team is more aggressive and tough. I feel like I'm playing with taller, faster, stronger girls. Obviously it's a different conference jumping from the WCC to the Big 12 so I'm just really looking forward to being able to see what our team can do with what we've been practicing and conditioning with. I'm just super excited." Senior guard Sonya Morris: "Every year I'm really excited to play but I think this year, it tops all the other years because the opportunities and we really have a true chance to make it to the national championship. I just think if we just stick our nose to the grind and just stay with it, stay focused, stay consistent, I'm just really excited to see how far we will go." Junior guard Shay Holle: "So excited, especially being in the Moody Center, this is the first week of official practices in here so it's very motivating just seeing how nice it is. Hopefully seeing these stands be filled is going to be really fun." Junior forward Taylor Jones: "This is definitely a special group and we are looking to do some damage. I mean, the chemistry with all of us is just amazing, and we also have a lot of talent. I'm very excited just to play alongside of them." Sophomore forward Aaliyah Moore: "I'm so excited. I'm healthy, we look good, have a good schedule coming up so I'm really excited to play with this team. I think we're going to surprise some people. I'm excited. I'm a sophomore now, not a freshman so it's gonna be a really good year." This team is loaded with talent and attitude, best chance in a long time to cut the final nets. You don't want to see this group warming up in your gym. Nor do you want to see this guy working the other bench:
  10. The Codio redshirt was expected but hope the Hunter issue is nothing. Those "private matters" can go south in a hurry.
  11. Honorable Mention Ja’Mee Asberry (Baylor), Dre’Una Edwards (Baylor), Zakiyah Franklin (Kansas), Taiyanna Jackson (Kansas), Ana Llanusa (Oklahoma), Shaylee Gonzales (Texas), Taylor Jones (Texas), Sonya Morris (Texas), JJ Quinerly (West Virginia), Madisen Smith (West Virginia) And Taylor Jones makes 3 for H.M. Going to be a great year.
  12. Yes, she earned the position, it wasn't a gift. Just had to get the rules right. Massively getting ahead of things here, but I could see this possibly keeping our program in good hands for decades to come.
  13. KD: “first, set up a bunch of alternate twitter accounts” I was fading a bit on my KD love but then I saw him repping the university not just with the men’s but with the women’s Bball program - meeting with players and future recruits. He did not have to do that and I know how much that meant to the young ladies. KD/UT for life.
  14. Really too bad, hopefully she can come back next year. Sounds like the knee has been a problem for a while, probably a good time in her life to get it fixed and come back full strength before pursuing her WNBA career.
  15. Yeah, they screwed that up. Sadly. I'm just busy spooning up to this quote: "perhaps no addition around the country could prove to be more consequential than Texas adding Gonzales." Hells yes.
  16. Aaliyah Moore makes the U23 USA basketball squad along with Celeste. Will be great experience for her, glad to see folks recognizing her skills. She's going to be ready for the upcoming season.
  17. That's a lot of new pieces but the talent and experience is definitely there. Just need to learn how to play together and get the new players up to speed with Vic's defense. Always some luck involved but I can see this group cutting down a lot of nets and absolutely in the running for the last team standing. Just wish we had all the staff in place, getting pretty late in the year(wft?).
  18. Full team up now. This group is going to burn down some houses.
  19. Anissa got the full ride! Much deserved, a really nice moment for the team. I'll bet she even gets her name on her jersey this year. Very nice.
  20. Never understood the love for him on espn.
  21. Wow, that's really too bad, she was going to be a junior I think? We play them November 14th in Connecticut. Women and those ACL's
  22. Good on ya Aaliyah. Great to see, well deserved.
  23. Yeah, seemed strange to me too, hopefully this is what she wanted. With that 3 point percentage you would have thought she would have had her pick of suitors.
