Really focused on scoring more this year with the midrange game.

What made her so good as a Freshman

Damn Booker. This is just her third game.

Booker, Watkins, Hidalgo, Williams, Fulwiley. The 2023 freshman class is balling early.

4 for 12 from the line. 33% good gawd.

need to get back on D as well

Playing these G5 schools actually gives Texas more issues with the press because they have all these smaller players. 

But it's a losing strategy because trying to run with this Texas team leads to easy baskets off turnovers.

Those were back to back amazing passes by Booker - one to Jones and one to Harmon

UTA shooting 51% - Vic might stroke out. But Texas shooting over 60%

Baylor trying to close it out against #4 Utah - conference would have 2 quality non-conf wins between Utah and Ole Miss. Texas hoping to add to that with UConn next month

Just imagine when Texas gets Gaston and Moore back. Only question is who loses minutes? Faye probably? 

Yeah, I don’t know. Good problem to have I guess. I think Moore will have to earn her place again, she’s been out so long.

Won’t be as worried about foul trouble down low like we have been in the past.

Feels weird not to hate the Baylor coach.

Yeah, I really dislike Gerlich and Fennelly and find myself respecting Collen and Baranczyk. They both speak pretty highly of Vic and Texas when we play - unlike the other 2.

This team is probably looking forward to being off until Sunday after playing Wednesday-Sunday-Tuesday

Codio showing some signs! Nice to see, but I cringe seeing all those knee braces out there.

You’ll never see this lineup but we could probably have a Maul-Codio-Shaylee-Moore lineup of knee braces lol

It's early but:

Rori 50% (5-10) - 56.2% last year, so not much of a difference. Her FT shooting as a freshman was exceptional (73.3%) but she's been steadily going downhill 
Booker 67% (2-3)
Muhammad 50% (6-12) - 44% last year, so she's doing better!
Jones 43.8% (7-16) - 67.1% last year, so she's struggling
Holle 16.7% (1-6) - 61.3% last year, so she's REALLY struggling, but was 46.2% the year before
Faye 75% (3-4) - 69.3% last year, so she's doing better
Jak 50% (2-4) - 69.8% last year, so worse

Team is currently missing Gaston (69% last year and 68.3% the year before) and Moore (71.7% last year in limited time and 67.% as a freshman).  Also Shaylee hasn't shot any FTs yet, she was 86.2% last year.

Moral of the story - get the ball in the hands of Booker, Faye or Shaylee late in close games, and maybe Gaston and Moore once they are back.

Getting Gaston back will be big because she's definitely better than Faye. Then we have two legit 5s in Gaston and Jones. 

I'm not sure of Moore's role based on her injury history. Hell of a talent but damn tough to see her stealing minutes from the likes of Booker and Muhammad.

Thanks for compiling that for us.

Big 12 might just get another signature win

Ayoka Lee 22 and 12. You let Clark get hers (24) and shut down everyone else. That’s the blueprint with Iowa

I know Vic will have a good gameplan defensively.

Defending them is still going to be hard, but we can match up to them height wise at every position but PG.  Muhl has 5 inches on Rori.  We have a small height advantage on 6'1 Griffin (G/F) with Amina at 6'4.  Jones and Faye have an inch on Edwards in the post.

We somehow only lost @ UConn last year, without Rori, by 7.

Faye and Gaston only played a combined 17 minutes. Jak won't play 22 minutes. And obviously no Sonya Morris (21 points, 5-10 from 3)

Fudd lit us up last season but if she’s out we’ll still have to deal with Beuckers who was out all last season. 

Definitely but we were also without Rori Harmon against UCONN last year.
