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

[Js1 85570]

13-7 Texas early. First media TO

[perfectchaos007 6677]

No Sonya according to commentator

[Js1 85570]

17-17 after 1

OU closed on a 10-2 run 

Edited February 25, 2023 by Js1

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Shorthanded Texas expended a lot of energy that quarter and its tied 17-17

[Js1 85570]

They’re letting Rori get killed under the basket. No calls 

[Js1 85570]

Both teams pretty cold in the 2nd Q. Only 2 points scored so far 

[Js1 85570]

OU in a 7 min FG drought

[Js1 85570]

3 on Faye

2 on Gaston and Muhammad 

[Js1 85570]

Texas leads 27-23 at half.  Low scoring favors Texas. 

Edited February 25, 2023 by Js1

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Can't ask for a better showing from our defense in the first half. Hopefully adrenaline can outweigh fatigue in the second half

[Js1 85570]

Rori is fired up 

[Js1 85570]

38-30 Texas at the under 5 TO in the 3Q

[Js1 85570]

Holle 3 puts Texas up 45-32

[Js1 85570]

And another 3 by Holle! Then a steal and a foul. Texas up 49-32

[Js1 85570]

Just like in Austin, a big 3Q by Texas. 51-37 after 3

We could stand to rebound a bit better on the defensive end 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

If we keep up our tight defense in the 4th, we could close this out.

[Js1 85570]

37 seconds in and 3 fouls on Texas. 

[Pato del Muerto 52596]

Attacking the bigs, getting fouls called. 
 

Rebounding keeping them in the game. 

[Js1 85570]

4 fouls on Jones. Texas up 12 with 7:45 left. Texas has foul trouble here

[perfectchaos007 6677]

OU in the bonus for the last 8 minutes

[Pato del Muerto 52596]

Gonna have to score to win. Bigs about to start fouling out and Scott and Williams will be getting layups. 

[Pato del Muerto 52596]

Why would we be playing fast with long outlets right now?

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

Is this Vic's best coaching job to date? 

All these injuries and a great chance to win the Big 12. It won't happen but Vic should be the NCOY based on all the injuries. Very few coaches could have Texas in this position. 

[Js1 85570]

Texas up 18 now. 4:18 left 

[Js1 85570]

OU shooting 27%

Defense > offense 

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

The only shitty part of this is Texas would be legit national title contenders this year if they were even remotely healthy. 

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

I know we got spanked by Iowa State not long ago but OU and Iowa State are just not good match ups against Schaefer teams. 

These offensive minded teams get punched in the face and they don't know what to do. 

[Js1 85570]

A split in our final 2 gives us the Big 12 title (at least a share) and the #1 seed 

Texas should move up to a 3 in Bracketology (no more reveals)

Hell of a defensive performance by Texas today. Now we have 48 hours to recover and prep for Baylor

Unlike our trip to Norman last year, which was Vic’s first time seeing this OU offense under Jennie B. Hasn’t been competitive for them since 

Texas destroys the Sooners. 67-45

Sole possession of 1st

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

Since the bad loss in Lubbock, Texas has won 9/10 and the only loss was on the road against Iowa State. 

Vic's teams always start peaking at this time of the year and this year is no different. 

[Js1 85570]

Other than FT shooting and barely being outrebounded, we dominated them defensively 

[Pato del Muerto 52596]

All of my bitching and it was pretty comfortable the whole quarter. 
 

nice to hear the despair in the sooner broadcast crew, including the wish casting that Texas has a quick turnaround for Baylor and has to go to manhattan to finish up.

Meanwhile they have to go to Stillwater for a hot OSU team. I’d rather be us than them 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Well done, ladies. Always fun to spank the Sooners. Wish we had Vic's equal on the men's side. 

[ztejas 43533]

Saw that OU has yet to beat Texas in any athletic competition in the 22-23 season. 

[Js1 85570]

If OU loses to OSU, that should lock them up into the 2 and 3 seeds (OSU would actually be the 2 based on having a win over Texas) and ensure Texas will face ISU as the 4 seed 

[Js1 85570]

Overlooked yesterday was Holle’s defense on Taylor Robertson.  2-8 (2-7 BTA) for 6 points. Holle then chipped in 11 points on 4-8 shooting (3-4 BTA), all in the 3rd Q, to help us pull away. Played 38.5 minutes. Rori and Shaylee with another 40 min each game. Really need Morris back.

Robertson and Madi Williams is a deadly duo and they went a combined 5-19 (2-8) for 14 points. I bet we win by 30 if it weren’t for their 17 offensive boards for 21 second chance points. 

Also Taylor Jones with 5 blocks off the bench! 

Coach JB was very respectful in the postgame press conference as well. It’s hard to not hate an OU and Baylor coach, but between the whining from coaches like Fennelly and the bitch from Lubbock, JB and NC come across as very classy and respectful of Vic and his program.

This is why the Morris injury might be a blessing in disguise. 

If she transitions into a 6th "woman" role this team would be a lot better than her as a starter. Morris is more of spark plug off the bench and I think Holle does other things we need in the starting 5. 

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

If Muhammad develops any type of offensive game she's going to be a special player. 

She's already the best offensive rebounder on the team and creates a lot of issues on the defensive end with her athleticism/length. I can tell Vic really loves her. She played limited minutes yesterday but came in throwing her body around and you could tell that Vic loved it. 

[LTtxfan 49352]

Great Win yesterday !!!  🤘

[Js1 85570]

Also forgot to shout out Vic’s dig at the officiating. Said he’s tired of our post players being called for fouls bc they’re bigger than other players. Faye and Jones especially. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Kansas is actually a 2 point favorite over OKST today, and then they'll probably be slight underdogs against @WVU and OU. Wouldn't surprise me at all if OKST loses 2 of their last 3 and falls to 4th in conference

We’ll see but I think they’re the 3rd best team in conference and I’ve rather have ISU as the 4 than seeing OSU again

[Js1 85570]

Caitlin Clark is disgusting. Buries a 3 at the buzzer to beat #2 Indiana 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Kansas beat OKST rather routinely. OKST is in real danger of losing their final 3 games

Need them to beat WV and then OU at home, would give them the 3 seed. But I’m sure they won’t
