Texas Women’s Basketball 2023-2024: Handing out ass whoopins and lollipops, and we’re all out of lollipops

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Gotdamn Madi!

How about we just avoid an injury the next two minutes?

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Booker, Jones, Moore and Gonzales all with great games.

[Js1 85320]

76-66 final 

[Rickylovesweed 14293]

This team can still get a 2 or 3 seed with all the injuries.

I fully agree 

[Js1 85320]

0 bench points is a surprise

To a degree but we are only 7 deep now due to injuries. I guess maybe 8 if you include Jak's limited minutes. 

Muhammad and Faye are defensive players that we don't run offense through at all. 

 

[Js1 85320]

Back in the top 10 at #10. KSU all the way up to #4. UConn 8, Baylor 14, WV #24, ISU receiving votes

Still #2 in NET

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Baylor vs KSU tonight on FS1. Not sure who to root for.....

Baylor. KSU needs an L 

[86txex 166]

 

Madison does it again. She is just so good.

Runaway fave for Big 12 FOY.  Maybe NFOY, though the competition is stiff. 

[Rickylovesweed 14293]

Baylor is now 4-3 in the Big 12 and they've had a lot of luck playing Texas without Harmon and K-State without Lee. They would almost certainly be 3-4 if Harmon was healthy or even if Texas played a couple games without her. 

They are never going to be the same program without Mulkey.

I think we return the favor and beat them in Waco. 

[Rickylovesweed 14293]

I forgot that we didn't have Jones either against Baylor. We would likely have won against Baylor with just Jones.

KSU is 8-0, but you have to believe they'll drop 1 or 2 without Lee. If not, they'll just run away with the Big12 title

I think we pound them in Austin. Hoping OU or Iowa State can steal one too when KSU visits. 
 
Baylor was winning by 9 at half last night but only scored 16 points in the 2nd half. What a collapse at home.

[Js1 85320]

Yeah, I was really hoping they'd take at least 1 loss already without Lee, but no dice. Mitte already making his case for Big 12 COY. 

Texas faces OU (meh), Cincinnati (terrible) and Baylor (but in Waco this time) before we host KSU.  We really need to roll into that KSU game at 8-2.  Baylor looks to be in freefall and they don't get the luxury of facing us in the first game after Rori's ACL news. 

We can hand OU a loss tomorrow to drop them into the 2-loss column with us and WV.   If we're lucky, maybe KSU takes an L in Norman on the 31st so we can drop them into the 2-loss column as well. 

If you look at potential losses for KSU:

@ OU
@ Texas
@ ISU

The rest of their schedule is pretty easy: BYU, Ok State, UCF, WV, ISU, @ Tech

Gonna be a long night if OU is bouncing balls into their hoop

[Js1 85320]

I have never seen 2 of the luckiest bounces for OU.

3 that for basically every single part of the rim and bounced in

Pass that bounced off the court and into the basket 

[Js1 85320]

Frantic early. Texas needs to stop losing their 3 point shooters 

[perfectchaos007 6636]

Oklahoma is on pace for 100+ points. Texas needs to play tighter D

[Js1 85320]

Nice 10-0 run for Texas 

[Js1 85320]

23-17 Texas after 1. Texas goes on a 14-2 run to end the quarter 

[Js1 85320]

Phantom foul on Booker 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Amina travels.

Booker with two fouls

[Js1 85320]

Stop fouling 

[Js1 85320]

Dial down the full court press, Vic. 

More stupid fouls. We are going to lose it bc we can’t stop fouling 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Oklahoma's speed is giving us fits

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Playing like dogs. Wake up. 

[Js1 85320]

Getting out scored 19-6 this quarter. Massive outcoached right now 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

They have taken 15 threes made 6, we have taken 3 made 0

 

[perfectchaos007 6636]

We're getting outworked and outcoached.

[Js1 85320]

Amina’s sophomore slump has been frustrating. 

Take the ball out of Booker’s hands for a bit 

[Js1 85320]

Vic is doing nothing right now. Wake the fuck up

[perfectchaos007 6636]

Making this a track meet with a frosh PG for Texas is exactly what OU hoped for.

[Js1 85320]

This whole team is a mess. Everyone needs their asses ripped at halftime. But probably going to be to late 

[Js1 85320]

The press has to stop. They’re just going to keep going over the top on us

[Js1 85320]

45-39 OU at half. Could have been way worse 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Every loose ball ending up in their hands.

The kick-out for threes killing us, we have no match up for that fast point guard. They are 10 players deep so they won't wear down.

Stop the press, cover the 3 point shooters, and get it inside to Jones, slow the game down. 

Sadly I'll take a 6 point deficit at the half, something needs to change Vic.

[Js1 85320]

Garbage officiating 

Worst defensive performance of the year. Just not locked in at all

[Js1 85320]

Yeah we are not going to win this game. Or the Big 12

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Getting kicked. Not winning 50/50 balls or much of anything else. Jones and Moore seem to be swimming in oatmeal. 

[perfectchaos007 6636]

Maybe the 4th quarter is when Texas will finally play some defense.  lol

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Can we get a stop please?

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Maybe we can look worse, but I hope we never prove it. 

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

Madi playing her ass off, doesn't want to lose.

[Pancho 44768]

You’re not going to win many games when your opponent makes 10 3pointers and you only make 2.
