Texas Women's Basketball 2020-2021 "A New Era"

[Revolution512 1487]

Wow this is terrible, trying to create a story here

[Js1 85371]

I’d guess CC comes in at the under 4?

[shadow_operative 15932]

big shot. 

[Js1 85371]

JAT!!

[Js1 85371]

Goodbye UCLA star! 

[Js1 85371]

Gonna be the longest 3 min ever

[dcar00 14218]

that was a BS touch foul but I'll take it.

Ebo next year with Aaliyah Moore? I’m salivating.

IMO, she moves better without the ball but that 4th on Collier was BS.

... but, Collier’s makeup is impeccable.

Oh 1000%. But she’s really not demanding the ball considering her size. And got blocked by a 6’1 player when she has a clear lane 

[Js1 85371]

The projected #1 pick is on the bench and Texas is beating the #3 seed. And closing it out without her

BLOCK OUT’

[dcar00 14218]

wow. that was horrible.  put Collier in on the FT attempt at least for rebounding.

Little irritated by that. But that’s usually CC’s job.

It’s whomever’s job that’s on the floor,

[Js1 85371]

Vic was right about this team peaking. 

[Cairn Horn88 8265]

Great job ladies.  Colliergetting some rest, I reckon.

[Js1 85371]

This feels like Vic doing a teaching moment for Collier 

[Revolution512 1487]

As he upgrades talent the wins will pile up in Austin

[VirginiaLonghorn 4777]

Lambert is a tough little player ..

[perfectchaos007 6671]

Maryland just dropped 100 on Alabama today. If we can hold Maryland to ~80 we might have a chance. We'll need Collier to toughen up to have any shot at a win. 

[Js1 85371]

Get these girls on ice for the rest of the week 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4777]

Great Win! 🤘

[Js1 85371]

Sweet 16 bound!!!

[Machinator 32099]

Great win.

[Revolution512 1487]

A Sweet 16 with this roster? Without much from your best player? Impressive

[shadow_operative 15932]

🤘🏼 

[Pancho 44854]

I apparently missed a few calls while I was out fucking around.

But ho-lay shit.  Vic took this team to a S16.  Just a phenomenal coaching job by Vic and staff. I’m happy.  This weekend will be a blowout, I do believe, but Texas has something to go recruit and build on. 

[TheBryMan81 2514]

Let's go!!! #Sweet16 🤘🏽🤘🏽

100% it would take a monster miracle to beat MD. But what a coaching job. He knows what he’s doing.

Such a contrast to what happens routinely on the mens side. Vic's teams peak just in time for the NCAA's

When we blew that big lead at home to OU, I was like, this team will be lucky to win a game as a 7 seed. 

Phenomenal coaching on the women side. If Vic had a roster full of talent like Shaka did; we’d be a Final Four team

Didn’t lose his composure at the second half officiating, kept coaching and working the refs.  Girls had a few clutch 3s each time the lead for down to 9 or 10.

Women, not girls bro. 

[Revolution512 1487]

5th (would be sixth) straight Sweet 16 for Vic

I did lip read a spitting tirade that seemed to include “every fucking call” but he regained composure and his team never lost it for sure.

Yup. Every time it looked like UCLA was going to make a bigger run, Celeste or JAT or Ebo seemed to hit a shot. Lambert kept them steady

Ref friend told me Vic is a cussing sailor on the sidelines.  I was like “weird, because all he posts on twitter are bible verses.”

[ClubWhatever 12144]

I don’t watch a ton of women’s basketball but this game seemed horribly officiated, especially the blocks and charges.  I also caught the end of the Iowa State game and they let them play like it was a hockey game.

Great job ladies!  It is a joy to see a well-coached team exceed expectations. 

[closetojumping 62741]

I’ve been watching this team occasionally this year and following this thread the whole time. What a fun game. The refs predictably tried to work UCLA back into the game for the second half, but it was never in doubt. 

It’s crazy how soft Collier is in big games. Good lord. Congrats to the team though. Terrific. 

[Js1 85371]

2 fun-ish storylines for Maryland:

Katie Benzan committed to Texas as a grad transfer from Harvard but backed out after Vic was hired 

Chloe Bibby transferred from MSU to Maryland the day after Vic left 

Edited March 25, 2021 by Js1

[Machinator 32099]

Just noticed that Vic didn't use a timeout in the game. Is that normal for him?
