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

[Js1 85,371]

37-22 SCe at half. Too long, too disciplined, too much length and so much talent

We are playing their game. Owning the paint. 

Glad to be here but we are overwhelmed and out of gas

Agreed, not a lot of pep in our step 

[Pancho 44,854]

Souf Carolina is just stronger and more experienced.  I agree that us losing to a superior team isn’t maddening.  This team overachieved in Vic’s first year.  The program is in good hands, and I’m hopeful this year’s EE is just the beginning of many.

[dcar00 14,215]

failing at the rim.  likely worn out.  good run though.

[Gut Wagon 8,079]

Still playing hard. Under the circumstances, not a total loss.

[dcar00 14,215]

they weren't going to keep missing.

[dcar00 14,215]

warren needs to shoot outside and quit driving.

[Cairn Horn88 8,265]

They block nearly every shot, and most all of their baskets are layups.  We don’t have one 3-point shot yet.

[Js1 85,371]

This SCe team is good. I’m not ashamed at all. We ran out of gas but the talent coming in next year + what we return - we coming back 

[Gut Wagon 8,079]

If we can keep it under 25 at the end, we'll have done well. They basically have an advantage at every position. 

[Cairn Horn88 8,265]

The party is over.  Good run Ladies.

We don’t yet have the caliber of athletes offensively to run with the 1 seeds. But it’s on the way! 

Defensively, ooh boy, when Vic has it rolling- wow 

Edited March 31, 2021 by Js1

[Cairn Horn88 8,265]

Well, this will be SC’s last win.

[Cairn Horn88 8,265]

We have not made 1 3-pointer!

You must be looking at the wrong box score.

Uh Warren has made 3? Per the box score?

[Js1 85,371]

They played great defense on Charli and Taylor. Took a lot of shots and missed so many. 

[Js1 85,371]

Oh and we haven’t even scored in the 4th

[kingkoopa6 8,363]

RUN IT BACK.. LETS GO!

[Js1 85,371]

62-34 final. Wow we didn’t even score in the 4th Q.

Not ran out of gas - the tires all went flat.

So impressed with Vic’s first year. Reload next year and keep it going!  3 McDonalds AAs, the top JUCO and let’s grab some portal players

My bad.  Stuck on 34 forever.  Next year Ladies.  Proud of y’all!

[Gut Wagon 8,079]

Not upset at the margin. Just hard to be satisfied when you have a scoreless quarter. Yikes. Get 'em next time....

Dawn is also classy AF. A million x better than Kim 

[Machinator 32,099]

 

[pacman 7,359]

Amazing finish to the season Longhorns!

[perfectchaos007 6,671]

Enjoy the WNBA, Collier

[Js1 85,371]

We made bad history twice today. 

Lowest point total in the Elite 8 or later

First team to ever score 0 in a quarter in the NCAAs since quarters started 

[Machinator 32,099]

 

[Machinator 32,099]

Vic and his ragtag squad beat the coach of the year.

 

[Js1 85,371]

The one thing I hated watching the Elite 8 is how many players Karen missed on, that she was 100% in the running for.  Even a couple of them might have changed everything:

UConn: Christyn Williams
Baylor: Queen Egbo, NaLyssa Smith, Hannah Gusters
South Carolina:  Destiny Littleton (transferred out)
Stanford: Ashten Prechtel

[Goodman 3,273]

Some good, good stuff. Hook'em!

 

[texasstrong12 4,668]

Probably going to be more attrition to make room for some transfers. 

 

[Js1 85,371]

Not surprised at all.

What's the story here?

Injured. Was an Aston recruit. Saw the writing on the wall with Gaston and Moore being signed by Vic. He alluded this week there may be more additions - they are going to hit the portal for some more players. 

[Js1 85,371]

TOS says 3-4 transfers likely. My guess is:

Coleman

Holle

Ortiz

Maybe Precious Johnson too

With the 3 recruits + 6’5 JUCO coming in and Vic likely to hit the portal, this team will look very different.

But the core 4 will be Taylor, Allen-Taylor, Ebo and Warren.

Holy shit it seemed like she truly bought in. I’m floored 

Though NGL if we traded Taylor for Madison Hayes I would not be mad

That makes total sense 

[Pato del Muerto 52,508]

Have fun at Maryland or wherever. Thanks for the two years.

Rutgers or Syracuse maybe. Cuse has room (10 players in the portal)

[texasstrong12 4,668]

The Celeste news sucks but we're also going to really benefit from the portal. 

This is just the new reality in college basketball. 

 

[Js1 85,371]

Crazy final finish of SCe and Tree

Tree wins 66-65! 

[perfectchaos007 6,671]

Aari McDonald for Arizona is a pure shooter. If we had a scorer like her on our team we could have been a final 4 team.

[Pancho 44,854]

Oh just read about Celeste and I wish her well. Family is important.

[ClubWhatever 12,144]

The family should move here.  What’s a few more people.
