  1. Harmon enters the game and Texas goes into a different gear.
  2. Texas Women's Basketball Media Availability [Dec. 27, 2022] Taylor Jones: Vic said she’s got an appointment in a week or two, said she’s feeling good and was doing stuff off the court today which he said was encouraging. Said hopefully they would get a good report when she goes in. Defense: He was asked if he ever tells the team to back off on defensive aggression due to the team being thin at spots and he said he didn’t think you could ever tell kids not to play hard; you can’t play worried something might happen so no that’s not a conversation they have ever had. Said Christmas travel was a real struggle for a number of players but they did get them all back.

  4. Commerce Aggie shooting 53% we are at 55%
  5. Gaston showing some nice moves, Hadi pulling down boards, Masudi getting some time. HC severely over-matched. One of those games where you route for the opponent to score at times. If Mulkey doesn't play this team, she should give them a look.

  7. Rori Having trouble bringing the ball up. Pressure bothering us
  8. Shaylee for three puts us up by 10 in the third quarter
  9. Booomm! Champs!
  10. Kyndall Hunter just posted a very nice video on her Instagram about being a guard for Texas and about playing for Vic. Hope is alive, we could use another guard about now. Kyndall Instagram
  11. WTF? Now they show Shay and Jak got in at the end of the game.... Shay missed a shot and Jak hit two FTs. Shay 6 minutes, Jak 2
  12. Wow, only playing 7. Maybe they are sick- flu?
  13. Thanks for this. Makes me feel a little better about losing him.

  15. Certainly better than our last coach. oh wait..... Better than our previously last coach.
  16. Thanks for posting that @perfectchaos007 Hadi and Gaston both played great. Poor sound on the questions again. Watching that and seeing how upset the team was you have to give them massive credit for continuing to play at a high level after AMo went down. Yeah, doesn’t look good. It's been a rough one. One of those wins that feels like a big loss. Still hoping for the best though. Dammit.
  17. Well, we are who our record says we are. Today. But the team looked better last time and with a lot of new players working to get on board with Vic's system it's going to take a while. But you can already see Shaylee, Sonya, Hadi and the freshman looking more comfortable, strangely enough though it's Holle and Moore that seem to have regressed a bit. Wish Jones wasn't going to be out, would like to have the whole team learning together and she is a very important piece for us if she can stay on the court. (not including Kyndall under "whole team" anymore)
  18. Cathartic game for us, the right opponent at the right time, should build some confidence. Nice to see the smiling faces, Shaylee and Sonya both with great games and looking more comfortable. With Taylor out Hadi getting some valuable time. Fun game to watch, we will get there. Go Ladys!
  19. Spot on. We could really use Matharu right now. Best shooter we have is Sonya, and Vic dog housed her in the second half. Might be hurt….
