She won't play.  She's rehabbing an ACL injury.  She wasn't going to play her senior year at CP regardless, but now she gets an extra semester of Texas Athletics medical care and rehab.  Smart play, b

I’m a novice when it comes to WBB but why tf are we ranked 25? Is losing Collier that much of a difference?

Lost 3/5 starters from last season but they probably undervalued how talented Texas is. 

Texas is more talented than last year it's just a matter of if the young players can adapt to this level of play. Doesn't seem like an issue so far. Texas was a very weird team to rank. They're obviously top 15 in talent but it's a very new and young team.

Not sure what it's called but it apparently helps with concussions. 

Makes sense.  Thanks.  I watch many concussion-prone sports and haven’t seen it before.  The girls are normally more accepting of new things, so not shocked this was the first time I’ve seen it.

Not just Collier but our starting PG, best defender and scorer (Celeste) and 3 bench players. There’s only 6 players on roster who played last year for Texas and 1 was injured (Gaston).  Relying on freshman (Harmon and Moore) and a transfer (Matharu). There’s more newbies than returners (7) and unlike MBB, only 1 of those 7 was playing D1 ball last year.

@ Stanford, @ A&M, @ Tennessee, and Arizona on a neutral court is a crazy nonconference schedule. 

Coming into the season 2-2 would have not been a bad result at all. 

 

This team will be crazy tested by Big 12 play. We look like league favorites. Baylor will take a step back. WV and ISU always tough. It’s a wide open league.

Funny how even super early, voters aren’t willing to let go of their preseason opinions enough to get Texas ahead of Stanford in this poll despite the head to head result. 
 

Stanford 7 - Texas 12
Texas beat Stanford h2h

Louisville 10 - Arizona 11
Arizona beat Louisville h2h

In both cases, the upset winner was so low in the week 1 poll compared to the favorite, the voters couldn't justify it I guess?

Stanford 3 - Texas 25 (Stanford down 4, Texas up 13)
Louisville 6 - Arizona 22 (Louisville down 4, Arizona up 11

Vic completely out coached Tara at the end of this game. 

You can Vic screaming multiple times to set up the high pick and roll with Matharu late in the 4th. 

Stanford was going big with Jones (6’1) trying to guard Matharu (5’7). Matharu was simply too quick for Jones and Vic knew it. The last 5 minutes of the 4th we were running the same action with Matharu getting a mismatch with a bigger player.

Tree also had the height advantage inside and kept bombing away from 3.

Kansas State’s Ayoka Lee was named Big 12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Week and Texas’ Rori Harmon earned Freshman of the Week honors for the first week of the regular season ending November 14, as selected by a five-person media panel.

Quote

Harmon was the Longhorns’ leading scorer as they knocked off No. 3 and defending NCAA Champion Stanford 61-56. She scored 21 points with five rebounds against the Cardinal, including going four-for-four on free throws in the final minute to ice the game. The point guard had a team-high eight assists, plus seven points and four rebounds in Texas’ season-opening 131-36 win over New Orleans. In her first week of college basketball, Harmon is averaging 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists with a 9.0 assist-to-turnover ratio. It is the first weekly honor in Harmon’s career.

Thanks for posting all these.

 

I’m ok with the ranking. You can easily have a H2H and have the loser ranked higher. Body of work, perceived bad match-up for the higher seed and also the perception that if you play the game 7 times the loser may predominately come out on top. They were ranked way high, we were ranked way low, pollsters weren’t willing to drop them that much, I’m good with it.

If Matharu doesn’t go off we probably lose that game.

But she did. 😀

 

We need Stanford ranked high and doing well to help our SOS.

Davis and Ballou are both Austin sporsters.

 

We were only 25th due to Schaefer’s coach-god cred, we had lost too much production and have too many newcomers.

I certainly didn’t think we would be this good.

 

Big jump from 25th to 12th but it’s very early in the season and we beat the defending champs in their house. It was also on a Sunday afternoon on ESPN with Lobo giving us love.

 

Good times for UT BB.

Teams with legit bigs that pound it inside will probably give us the most issues early in the season. 

Simply because of how young we are in the front court. Need Ebo to give us minutes against these teams. 

The good news is Schaefer’s defensive scheme protects against this. The full court press gets teams playing fast instead of the half court.

I didn't think we would be this good so early but this roster is probably Schaefer's most talented and he's made a couple national championship games. 

It's also why I'm not worried a bit about Schaefer leaving for aggy. He's not leaving this roster. It's his best chance to win a title over the next 3 to 4 years.

I just realized we are also playing @ Princeton. That is far from a gimme win. 

Before the Covid year they went 26-1, didn't play last year, and are now 3-0 in blowouts. 

This nonconference schedule is wild. It takes some balls to schedule a team like Princeton on the road because that's asking for an upset.

We have to get used to it. Outside of our annual Stanford/Tennessee games which rotate and our upcoming home and home with UConn and the SEC challenge (Big 12 challenge in a couple years i guess) that we host every other year….Vic has said they’re having trouble finding quality teams who want to go to Austin and play 40 min of hell.  So on the road we go

I need Ebo to start tomorrow simply so I can see what happens. The top pic will have to guard the bottom pic (lulz). Ebo has to have at least 50 pounds on this girl.

Against such a diminutive lineup I'm hoping Gaston/Ebo/Moore/Lattimore get some confidence to help us in tougher games going forward.
