Texas Women’s Basketball 2022-2023: Get on board or get out the damn way

[Js1 86956]

Faye has 2 fouls and Jones has 3 and Texas has a problem with Jackson, yet again 

[Pato del Muerto 53343]

Wish I could see a replay of that foul call on Jones. Went right to tv timeout and never came back to it. 

[Js1 86956]

Texas has some problems defensively. KU getting to the rim easily 

[Js1 86956]

The refs are letting Jackson do whatever she wants in the paint. 

[Js1 86956]

KU leads 34-28 at half. 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Kansas is getting whatever they want inside. Vic needs to halftime scheme a way to stop them inside or Texas will lose 

[Js1 86956]

12-4 3rd Q for Texas is far 

[Js1 86956]

And KU back up 6. Unlikely to win this game 

[Pato del Muerto 53343]

Just feels like a loss. Has all game long. 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Kansas goes inside and scores 80% of the time. We don't have a chance to win playing like this

Jackson is a load down there at 6’6 and our bigs constantly in foul trouble doesn’t help that. 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

KU leads by 5 after 3 quarters

And we hav not shot the ball well. Probably scared to drive because of Jackson again but missing too many mid range. Bad recipe. 

[Js1 86956]

48-53 after 3. It’s still within reach 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Jackson got Faye with an elbow to the face. Refs reviewing the play

[Pato del Muerto 53343]

How about a flagrant for reckless contact elbow to face. 

[Js1 86956]

57-57

6:21

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Gaston taking over right now

[mrhorn 1429]

Umm, how was that KU ball.

Nevermind, didn’t matter

[Js1 86956]

65-61. Under 2 min. Come on Texas 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

65-61 Texas. Under 1 minute

[perfectchaos007 6766]

67-62 Texas. 16 seconds to go

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Rori's not perfect, but she's mighty good. 

[Js1 86956]

Texas will escape. I hope

67-65 Texas. 11 seconds to go

[Js1 86956]

Schneider and KU have been a hard team for Vic. We have struggled 2 years in a row and lost to them at home last year. 

[Rickylovesweed 15309]

Harmon is in a funk. 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

67-65 Texas with 8 seconds left. KU ball

[Gut Wagon 8214]

What on earth. Gotta make those.

Fatigue and her shooting is in a sophomore slump. Not her defense and assists 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

KU turned the ball over. Texas has another chance to ice the game from the FT line

[Rickylovesweed 15309]

Found a way to win two games on the road against decent teams with our best player in a funk. 

Need Harmon to start playing better but I wonder if the number of minutes played is starting to be an issue. A couple blowouts would be nice where Harmon can get some rest. So much is asked of her both offensively and defensively. 

FT shooting has to be mental at this point because Texas can shoot better than this from the line. 

[LTtxfan 49912]

Nice steal...

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Gaston intercepts the pass FTW. Game ball to Gaston tonight. She balled out

[Rickylovesweed 15309]

Gaston might win Big 12 POY the way she's playing in the Big 12. 

They will likely give it to Joens though. 

[Js1 86956]

68-65. Finally a successful road trip. 2-0 on the week 

[LTtxfan 49912]

68-65  Texas Wins!!!

8-16 won’t win a lot of games. And losing the rebound battle

+10 turnover margin will. 

[Js1 86956]

Baylor could do us a solid with a win in Ames. ESPNU, 42-39 Baylor in the 3rd Q

Turnovers were even or 1 diff at 7 or 8 at halftime. Biggest difference in the comeback. 

[Js1 86956]

Jackson: 21 on 9/11 shooting today. 19 on 7/10 shooting in Austin 

38 on 16/21 (76%). Texas does not want to see KU in the Big 12 tournament

I think Baylor might be the bigger threat for the Big 12 title with Iowa State's center injured. Iowa State doesn't play much defense either.

Not only that, but they ran a play successfully many times where everyone is on one side except Jackson, the guard drives across the lane and Jackson runs in to post up and seal her defender while at the same time providing a natural screen for the ball handler curing around her for a layup.  She’s big enough that the big can’t or won’t leave her (I assume there’s a dip to the bucket and a pass if so) so no shot blocking.

That is known. Texas having a win is Waco gives up a leg up on them, considering we still go to Ames and Norman

AJ is average 20.7 and 9.4 in Big 12 play. She will deserve it 

[Pato del Muerto 53343]

Cool- ou @baylor on Tuesday so one of them takes another L. 

[Js1 86956]

Baylor hangs on 76-70. ISU with the double losses this week to unranked teams. Now 2 games back of Texas in the standings and they play each other a week from Monday, plus Baylor again on the 18th. And they go to WV next. 

Texas has Texas Tech and TCU this week at home 

[Rickylovesweed 15309]

I haven't considered Iowa State a threat for the Big 12 title since their center was injured. They don't play defense and they're a 1 player team at times. 

This will come down to Texas, OU, and Baylor.
