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

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

We need a blowout in the quarterfinal game so we can rest some players.

LOL Tenn beat LSU in the SEC semifinals 

[Bullneck 19206]

 

OU won women's bball?  

OK, how shall we celebrate this?  Let's use our lightbulbs (we have those, right?  Can anyone give me the status of the rural electrification project?)..  I hear the Horns have those.  Let's do what they do.

What kind of fucked up world exists where you are “co-champs” with a team you swept and has the same record???

This dumb conference that recognizes co-champs in a round robin schedule 

[Js1 85566]

She’s just making friends all over the conference 

 

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

Gerlich is way too loud for being such a mediocre coach. You're in your 3rd year at Tech and haven't made the tournament. Shut the fuck up and stop acting like you're some type of hot shot.

Fennelly allegedly initiated it as Tech was pressing down 30 at the end of the game against ISU’s reserves. Gerlich seems to have “needs to have the last word” syndrome

Just to reiterate my hate for this conference - 

Pac-12, B1G, Big East, ACC and SEC will be done with conference tournaments after tomorrow. All teams will be resting and rehabbing until the NCAAT

Meanwhile, the Big 12 tournament is played all the way up to Selection Day….

[Js1 85566]

Washington State, Virginia Tech, Iowa and SC helped us a lot today, since we are one of the teams in the 9-16 range and all 4 of those beat teams we were in contention with as well, and winning their conference tournament could have leap frogged us (UCLA, Louisville, Ohio State and Tenn)

Our NET is up to 11, but we are still a 4 in Crème’s bracket. I still think our ceiling is a 3 if we make the Big 12 tournament finals.  

Congrats to Lifetime Longhorn Kami Etheridge on their Pac 12 tournament title and auto-berth 

[Pato del Muerto 52588]

Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze in this conference tourney. I’d just as soon lose in the first game I think.

Maybe the second game. I don’t want to lose to Tech again this year.

Any possibility of getting any of our injured player(s) back for the tournament?

Morris and Jak are the only one who could play in postseason. No chance on AMo

[Rickylovesweed 14540]

The injuries have been insane. 

Harmon (starting PG)-missed first 5 games. 

Jones (first big off the bench)-missed 9 games

Moore (starting PF)-missed most of the season

Hunter (was likely going to be first guard off the bench)- not injured by MIA the entire season 

Morris (starting SG)-missed final 7 games of season

Then players like Muhammad and Jak have missed games due to injury. The fact Vic even has Texas in this position is kind of incredible. I doubt any other coach could have survived this. 

[Js1 85566]

Sonya was the first to climb up and get her piece of the net as the team celebrated winning the (a share of) Big 12 regular season

Ok. Let's call that a damn good sign.

I had convinced myself the announcer in the KSate game had confused Sonya coming back with Jak coming back but maybe not.

That would be huge for us.

[Js1 85566]

Rori!!! (The award she also deserved last year)

Rori has 2 more years to win Big 12 POY, DPOY and FOY and cement herself as a true Texas legend - only missing POY so far 

Player of the Year: Ashley Joens, Iowa State
Defensive Player of the Year: Rori Harmon, Texas
Freshman of the Year: Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, Baylor*
Newcomer of the Year: Shaylee Gonzales, Texas
Sixth Player Award: Skylar Vann, Oklahoma
Coach of the Year: Vic Schaefer, Texas
 

Rori and Gaston 1st team

Shaylee 2nd team

Rori All-Defensive Team

Amina Freshman Team

I think Jones got robbed and Morris missed too many games at the end.

[TommysTinyTowels 787]

Big congrats to DeYona, Shaylee, Vic and Rori.

Well deserved. We are very fortunate to have them.

Now let's do some damage in the post-season.

[Js1 85566]

Vic and his PGs have such a special relationship

Based on his contract, Vic earned (so far) $70k in bonuses ($50k for regular season title and $20k for Big 12 COY). Can earn another $50k with a Big 12 tournament title. 

[Js1 85566]

Vic is also a semi finalist for Naismith COY. I’m really glad people are seeing and understanding what he’s done with this beat up, thin roster is impressive 

[Js1 85566]

Tech lost to KSU by 10

Texas faces KSU at 1:30 on ESPNU tomorrow 

Edited March 10, 2023 by Js1

[perfectchaos007 6677]

I think its safe to say we match up better with KSU than Tech. Lets win big tomorrow 🤘

[Js1 85566]

WV-OSU, 11am, ESPNU

KSU-Texas. 1:30pm, ESPNU

TCU-OU, 5pm, ESPN+

Baylor-ISU, 7:30pm, ESPN+

Both lower seeded teams won yesterday, TCU upsetting KU and KSU over Tech. Both Texas and OU get much easier quarterfinals opponents

We probably want WV for the semifinals and for OU to face ISU. 

[Js1 85566]

It's actually quite obvious no one gives a shit about Big 12 WBB, because I saw someone say Schaefer shouldn't be Naismith COY semifinalist because he "ran a top 5 team into the ground"

I was truly surprised when the B12 coaches gave him the honor.

Well if that idiot did a minute of research he would know Vic was managing the most injury riddled team of his career. No coach would have been able to keep the team in the top 5 with the available roster and it’s a testament to his coaching abilities that they are still in the top 15 and will host tournament games

The big problem is we have a bad TV deal and if you aren’t a top 10 team no one pays attention to you. They just see where we started and how we finished and assumed we didn’t live up to expectations, not dealing with 5 months of injuries 

[Js1 85566]

Geno, Walz and Schaefer should all be on that list.  They've all dealt with a lot of injuries.  UConn won the Big East, Texas won the Big 12 and Louisville made the ACC finals.

Garlic is well known to refs and the ref bosses as being a major bitch. I gave her a T when she was at WTAMU. When UT-Arlington was in the Sun Belt, she’d get a T nearly every other game. Our ref boss told us to T her up any time and fuck the warnings lol

She got T'd up last night too.

We beat them in Manhattan by 28 without Sonya.  Sundell went for 12 points, 6 assists, 2 boards, 3 steals and 1 block

Doesn't sound pretty for KSU if she's hobbled or can't go

[Pato del Muerto 52588]

Normally I’d say it’s a great game to limit starter minutes but it’s the backcourt that needs the rest, and who would you play in place of rori and shaylee?  

[Js1 85566]

WV up 34-24 on OSU.  One of these teams is our semifinal matchup (if we win)

Quinerly for WV is hobbling around on a gimpy ankle

Jak should be playing today which will help, but yeah, we're so thin at guard it's tough.

 

 

[Js1 85566]

Ok State wins 62-61

I don’t think Andrea Lloyd knows the bracket bc she was asking Hoyt about how they beat OU. They still have to play a semifinal tomorrow to (maybe) face OU in the finals

Shitty start.

2 offensive fouls.  No buckets

I think Faye insulted the Big 12 refs' moms because they hate her
