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

[Gut Wagon 8071]

Poor, poor effort all around. 

[Js1 85338]

Just burn the tape. Now we have to win in Norman 

I no longer have any sympathy for Kyndall Hunter. You stole a scholarship we needed for a shooter or just another guard. 

Injuries happen. Vic knows this. Letting her steal a scholarship from Texas was mismanagement. He’s too loyal sometimes. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

You can't be afraid to shoot the 3. Somebody has to shoot it. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Jak is giving us good minutes. 

[Js1 85338]

Jak making the most of her minutes 

[Js1 85338]

ISU was abysmal from three and they are 5-8 today. Definitely taking their frustration out on us 

[TommysTinyTowels 787]

Jak bringing it tonight!

I didn't want her to play and she's our leading scorer.

Lol

[Js1 85338]

Yeah we were never going to win a game where they shoot 67% from BTA. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Just one of those nights. Iowa State hitting everything. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

That was probably dagger.

[Pato del Muerto 52499]

Well shit

[Js1 85338]

Gonna be a box score where Texas goes 0-fer from 3 and ISU hits 70%

I fucking hate playing in Hilton

6 for 9

They were 5 for 30 in their last game.

Well shit.

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

These last few games are a microcosm of Iowa State. They're good when they hit 3s and they aren't good when they don't. 

Unfortunately, we're playing them when they're hitting 3s. 

[Gut Wagon 8071]

When Harmon is that bad on the offensive end, I'm not sure we have a shot unless ISU totally goes to sleep. Which has shown no signs of happening. Somebody try making a jumper.

Live by it, die by it. It’s going in tonight, but we could do a better job not leaving shooters open 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

ISU is a good team and losing to them in Ames is frustrating, but Vic was about due for a loss against them. This loss doesn't hurt us much if we just could have taken care of business in Lubbock

Yep, GTFO.

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Texas hasn't played well but when a team hits 7/10 from 3 you just say it's not your night. 

[Cairn Horn88 8264]

ISU is not going to sleep tonight…They will not let up…we have to play at 150%.

[Gut Wagon 8071]

No shortage of opportunities to get back in it.  Keep grinding. 

[Js1 85338]

It’s that kind of night. 

[Pato del Muerto 52499]

Kept fighting 

might be time to have holle and Gonzalez take the first clean 3 they get and see if a few in a row drop 

Edited February 14, 2023 by Pato del Muerto

[Gut Wagon 8071]

We're not beating anybody to the basket. They've been doing it all night long. Combine that with the difference from long range and it's a wonder we're within 20. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

That was 2 feet over the backboard at a weird angle and somehow went in. 

The offense has been horrendous tonight but the defense hasn't been bad at all. Iowa State is simply hitting shots they won't consistently make on most nights.

Yes sir.

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

Not sure why Shaylee has been afraid to shoot those tonight. She can make those. 

Oh boy.

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

It's almost like Holle and Gonzales shouldn't be afraid to shoot wide open 3s. 

[Js1 85338]

Team won’t give up. Hasn’t been in their DNA most of the year 

[Gut Wagon 8071]

Great clutch shots. Maybe those will open up a passing lane or two. 

[Rickylovesweed 14317]

You're not allowed to touch Joens. 

[Js1 85338]

Yes that’s the takeaway of this game. If you’re open, shoot it. Stop looking for a pass into the post 

[Js1 85338]

We don’t go to Norman until the 25th. Please God let Sonya be back 

[Gut Wagon 8071]

What a pleasure this broadcast quality has been. Almost as frustrating as the game itself. 

[TommysTinyTowels 787]

Frustrating.

5 for 12 from the line

2 for 14 from three

27 for 69 from the floor and down by only 5.

With Sonya we win this easily.

[Js1 85338]

Shorthanded Texas falls to ISU in Ames, 66-61. Vic’s first loss to ISU at Texas

3 Big 12 losses, all on the road - 4, 4 and 5 points 

Abysmal FT shooting again. 5-12. Seriously, hit half those misses and make a 3 and maybe we win. The FT shooting is a big concern, we won’t get far in the tournament with that 

Rori had 19 and Jak had 10. ISU had 4 double digit scorers. Really letdown by Holle and Shaylee tonight. Tentative and not willing to shoot it 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Big12 will come down to that game in Norman. OU has only dropped 1 home game all year so they're the favorites now.

Ou still has to go to Lawrence and Stillwater. Not so fast. But we can make it all moot if we win in Norman. Almost 2 more weeks for Sonya to rest

WBB game officiating is always a problem. No ability to guard or move without it being a foul

OU barely beat Oklahoma State at home and they're a borderline top 25 team. 

That's far from a guaranteed win for OU. 

[TommysTinyTowels 787]

Our non-shooting guards only took 12 shots combined.

Harmon kept passing to them and they just passed it back and Rori had to put it up.

We recruited Shaylee to score. She needs to score. She’s not going to get yanked

[Js1 85338]

Vic’s update on Sonya today:

”She’s listed as day-to-day but didn’t practice yesterday. We want her back, but it’s going to take some time.”

Thanks for the update.

Dammit!

Not that much time left in the season. Thigh contusions that bad or something else I wonder?

[Pato del Muerto 52499]

New ink get infected?

[Js1 85338]

Texas and OU tied at 11-3, 2.5 games ahead of ISU and OSU, who both have trap games today - ISU @ Baylor and OSU @ Tech. 

OU plays KU tomorrow. Hate cheering for KU, but damn, go Jayhawks tomorrow 

Moderate to severe thigh contusions can take 4-6 weeks. Blah, seems unlikely we will have Morris back by next Saturday in Norman and maybe not even the following Monday against Baylor. Morris had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists against OU and 13 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists against Baylor. 

[Js1 85338]

Baylor blew another 4th Q lead at home and lost to ISU in 2OT. OSU needed 3OT to beat Tech in Lubbock

TCU picks up their first Big 12 win against KSU
