  1. Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.
  2. Yes @LTtxfan he gets them in great shape and coaches them to fight. His teams 5 years in a row to the Elite 8, that's entirely different teams and two different schools. One of the faithful here posted he has Big Vic Energy. That should be the thread title for next year.
  3. Queen Egbo (Baylor) is gone - That's great. Ashley Joens (ISU) is coming back - That sucks. Doesn't matter, we're the B12 tourney champs and will take on all comers.
  4. I thought as someone else posted JAT might stay for her Engineer Grad degree but as the article you referenced sez: "The senior will miss playing the sport she adores with the teammates she loves, but for now, there is work to be done, games to be won and an eye on the prize" so not looking good but I thought Brock was gone too but no. I like Ebo and want her to come back, she was dominant for a stretch. She has games where she rules the dog house and games where she is a liability. It's up to Vic to use her properly. If you just watched last night you think she sucks. I love Audrey but worried about the concussions. If this year has taught us anything players - even Rori - have stretches where they are a real asset and stretches where they struggle. You just hope enough of them have their game face on each contest. - and this year they sure as hell did.
  5. Always love @Pancho comments about officiating from the inside. Gives you a much better picture of what's going on than just bitching about the calls. Everyone thinks their team was robbed. That being said I thought all the officials worked all the conferences not just one conference exclusively which is why I stopped complaining about B12 refs. Guess not. How did we end up with 2.5 PAC12 officials while playing a PAC12 team? Because we were in Spokane? That doesn't smell right. Of course that doesn't mean they like Tara, I bloody don't, might work against her.
  6. In the fourth quarter little miss Tara and her cute little group of soft-spoken princesses put us in the bonus long before we had enough fouls to do the same to them. We had 24 fouls their 22 total and we were fouling at the end to stop the clock. We were in the bonus in the third and they never were. Who was more physical? STFU Vanderveer.
  7. Really hope you are right. She never got any rhythm going (170 total minutes) but we have seen her make it rain.
  8. Other than the one game where she hit 7 threes or whatever at the beginning of the season I haven't seen her show much. I know she was a top recruit but Vic didn't have a lot of faith obviously, she rarely played. I truly hope she gets going but sadly she's on my portal watch.
  9. The sad part was that game was easily winnable if we just do one of the things we had improved on during the year. Matharu and Moore get in foul trouble right away and disappear. Once Matharu leaves with foul trouble she never seems to get back on track. Holle was a real contributer at the end of the season but didn't show last night. Our free throw shooting had improved during the year but fell apart. Warren however hadn't been good lately but was back to her old self and a factor last night. Ebo had been much better of late but she has never been good against taller defenders. She cannot jump so she plays much shorter than her 6'4" height so don't even go there. They had 11 blocks to our 1 and 45 rebounds to our 28. Vic tried Lattimore for height but she was back to looking like a first day freshman. A big part off this was on Vic for pushing what didn't work. Not mad but that's a coaching issue that needs to be clearly looked at. Stanford wasn't all that, we hung with and could have beaten the number 2 team in the nation and been in the FF with just a few possessions going different. 4Q- 2:07 | TEX 50, STANFORD 53 We had missed 9 free throws at that point. Stick with our guard midrange game and I think we beat them 6 times out of ten. This team is good, really good. Great coaching staff, great system, some great players and we got Rori. The smell of a Natty is in the air....
  10. I'd be very interested to see what he thinks. Burnt orange glasses on but some of those calls....
  11. Yes. Passing it into the post was basically a turnover in this game. If it isn't working......
  12. And the whole women's basketball world saw the heart in Rori Harmon tonight. Someday she will be our superstar in the WNBA that helps with recruiting, flashing the hook-em at all the interviews.
  13. Yes, but we put a big scare in them and will be back to kick their ass next year.
  14. Ebo was accredited by Vic for our late season success. She has played much better than tonight. Stanford threw a lot of height at her and you saw the result. She did suck tonight as you said, I thought Vic should have stopped trying to feed the post early , there was nothing there. 10 total points by the big girls and some of those were outside shots.
  15. A very simple thing such as hitting our free throws and we probably win this game. We are that close.
  16. All this. Really enjoyable year. Nice to see a team get better over the season, win the B12 tourney and have a nice long run the the NCAAs. Easy to like this team and believe in this coach. Every year I expect us to get better and better, Final four next year seems very possible.
  17. The night I learned to hate Muffet McGraw and Stanford.
  18. 2 point game we have missed 7 free throws.
  19. just a few things go our way.... Warren stepping up. Money time!
  20. We are in the bonus they are not. Fing announcers
  21. Warren putting the collar to good use!
