Texas Women's Basketball 2019-2020 Season

[Pancho 46267]

That was the first time Tennessee saw a team that tall.  Out height fucked them up. 

I don't expect this team to all of a suddent turn it around rather I don't t know that Tennessee is the 17th best team in the country. 

How do we beat Tennessee in Knoxville but lose to Hawaii? 

Season is going to be interesting...

[Js1 87174]

Tennessee is taller than us. We got out rebounded by a lot. More amazing for us was only 8 TO

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Big 12 went 8-2 in the Big12 v SEC challenge. Not sure if the big 12 is good or the SEC is just really really bad

I doubt Tenn was AS good as their ranking. We will be re-humbled by Tree. Hard to believe we won with our bigs only combining for 8 points.

Of course.  We were also on a little losing streak.  Especially after the last trip to Knoxville and we were #2 and they knocked us off.

I don't see this season ending well for Karen but I am enjoying the hell out of beating them at home.

Watched most of the Tenn game.   Don't know enough about WBB to comment,  but will say our players were very focused - didn't seem to rush.   

Tenn seems to be adjusting to their first year head coach Harper and her husband who is an assistant.   Players/coaches did not have confident look when diagramming plays.

But congrats to Texas !   Sometimes the name on the front of the jersey means alot to the other team in games like this.

 

(for those who may not be aware,  Tenn has husband/wife coaching combo in WBB and softball.  Unique to say the least) 

[Js1 87174]

Tenn was undefeated with a rather soft schedule.  Their only real win of note was ND (74-63) - ND is 5-6 (yes, they suck) and just got drilled by UCONN 81-57. 

The Big 12/SEC challenge was dominated by the Big 12.  The league is going to be very difficult.  I think we still miss the tournament when all is said and done.

Sorry bout it. We also had Ortiz’s waiver denied so poo on you, Oregon. UConn and Evina Westbrook would like a word too  

 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

I guess the NCAA saw Sedonas claims of feeling unsafe and the staff mishandling her recovery as mostly bullshit. It was all an attempt to get a waiver so she could play at the top ranked program. Sorry not sorry she has to sit

[Pato del Muerto 53451]

So she doesn’t get a waiver because we didn’t visit her in the hospital?  What a shame.

Remember, everything in that article was one sided.  The NCAA may have spoken to Texas separately and, again, Texas cannot comment on a student athlete's medical history. 

[Js1 87174]

I hope we don’t get embarrassed today. I do remember when we beat them when they were #1 in the WBCA a few years back. But never as AP #1 (haven’t done that since 2004)

[Js1 87174]

This team looked inspired. 9-2 early. Already forced 3 turnovers 

[Js1 87174]

Celeste is a gem

[Js1 87174]

What team is this? 

22-16 Texas After 1. Only a couple turnovers. Tree is just handing us the ball. Texas with a lot of 2nd chance attempts compared to Tree. 

15 attempts for Tree. 23 for Texas. 

[Js1 87174]

Wow. 30-21 Texas. TO with 4:20 left. 

[Js1 87174]

35-26 Texas at half 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

This team is so bipolar. I suppose we do have the talent to compete with the best, but we also have the mentality to lose to the worst

FIFY

I was skeptical of the lineup without Higgs starting but she’s so good off the bench. 

[Js1 87174]

Back to looking like Texas. Missed bunny, throwing it to no one, tied up twice.

[Js1 87174]

7-0 run by Tree. Blah 

[Js1 87174]

Jada doing so much dirty work on the boards offensively. Impressive 

[Js1 87174]

Collier with 2 treys. That’s all we’ve had this half so far. 

[Js1 87174]

Tree about to shoot FT 13 and 14. We have 5. 

[Js1 87174]

Tree in the lead. Karen sitting on her timeouts like a buttplug. 

[dcar00 14947]

yeah, played well for 2.5 quarter.  standford with too many FT's

[Js1 87174]

47-46 Tree. 10 min left.

Karen didn’t call a single TO during that Tree run 

[dcar00 14947]

we've gone cold and aren't getting many calls.

yep.  dumb.

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Stanford leads by 1 at the end of 3Q. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Down goes Joyner

[Js1 87174]

Already small bench is fucked. 

[dcar00 14947]

thats not good.  we are constantly snake bit

[dcar00 14947]

stepped on the toe of that player that came in.  maybe just an ankle.

[Js1 87174]

Tree has seen the backdoor open every time we play them. 

[dcar00 14947]

zero calls.  tree gets to hack everywhere

[dcar00 14947]

finally called the reach.

[Js1 87174]

Of course Williams is a Texan. From SA. 

Holmes back on the bench and here she comes 

[Js1 87174]

Tree with 4 fouls. We gotta hit our FTs 

[Js1 87174]

Collier and Taylor are legit. 
63-60 Texas. 2:18. Play defense, hit FTs, don’t turn it over. 

Edited December 22, 2019 by Js1

[Js1 87174]

Jada sucks at FT. Offensive boards are huge for us. 

[LTtxfan 49986]

Like how they are sharing the ball better...

[dcar00 14947]

stanford a different team when they can't reach/hack.  need to make FT's
