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

[Pancho 44721]

Quick crazy ref story…

 

Reffed a similar play to how Moore just went down. As I was reporting the foul, I heard a shit ton of screaming and yelling. I turned back around, and the girl on the ground had her left foot dangling around like a fucking piece of grass in the wind. Girl from the visiting team threw up on the court and the game was delayed by 45 minutes as an ambulance rolled on into the court. 

My 2nd Division 1 game to ref—ever.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Not Bookers best game. Get Moore back in. 

[Js1 85297]

Gonzaga is right back in this 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Huge 3 by Shaylee. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Gonzaga finally realized we are daring them to get to the rim. 

[someguy 1508]

finally able to tune in...there was a reason I was asking about bigs depth earlier today.  Glad to see we seem to be taking it in stride.  Hopefully we can finish strong.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

It looks like Gonzaga is almost playing a box in one where they help on Booker. It's also leading to wide open looks for Shaylee and Shay. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

They can't stop us inside. This isn't complicated. 

[ATXbronco 4062]

Why in the HELL was Moore back out there

[Js1 85297]

She’s a beast 

[Pancho 44721]

Cramp? She was grabbing the calf

It's a sweet 16 game with Gonzaga making a run. Why wouldn't she be out there? 

[MirrOlure 14760]

It’s a cramp right?

[Js1 85297]

Yep

[ATXbronco 4062]

I guess it does look like cramping but still, c'mon.  

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Shaylee has been incredible tonight.

We're up by a minimum of 13 and need her for the Elite 8

[perfectchaos007 6627]

Moore down with cramps. Get her some fluids

[Js1 85297]

Shaylee playing like she’s back at BYU. She knows this team 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

We are just different when Shaylee plays like this. When we add another legit shooter/scorer we are scary. 

[dcar00 14159]

this is literally survive and advance

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Vic still running this ISO stuff with Muhammad and Moore at the top of the key. He saw something. Gonzaga can't stop it. 

[Texas73 420]

Largest lead, 21!  Looking good.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

This game is why there are so few G5 teams that advance in women's basketball. We just have so much more length and athleticism. 

[TrashMaster G 17551]

Even with Gonzaga's run, we are +2 this quarter so far.

Great reporting: trainer says cramp, player says cramp “let’s hope that’s all it is”

and it’s comical how Texas can overplay on the perimeter and those girls have no interest in driving the ball during their half court offense.  They want to set screens, use screens, and shoot 3s. 

[Js1 85297]

54-35 after 3

10 minutes left 

[HenryJames 66038]

That chick took like five steps.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

The crazy thing is this has been one of the worst games Booker has played in a while. Without Jones too, I would have guessed there was no chance we would be up 19 right now.

Is that bad?

[Gut Wagon 8065]

OK, take it on home. Nobody (else) hurt, Booker finds her stroke...and we're ready for Sunday. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Gonzaga can't get back in this unless they start hitting 3s. Keep forcing them to drive. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Terrible start to this quarter. 

[D3zii 3677]

Madison very lackadaisical right now 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Keep going inside even against the zone. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

They can't stop us inside. This ain't complicated. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Vic just yelled "stop shooting and get inside." 

[Js1 85297]

Booker is drunk. Get it out of your system now 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Not sure I've seen booker this bad all year. 

[TrashMaster G 17551]

Booker's head is on another planet tonight

… maybe let Holle run the offense?

[LTtxfan 49148]

Booker really playing terrible tonight.  Glad rest of team has picked her up

[Js1 85297]

Dumb foul by Booker

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Game is over if we feed the paint. 

[Gatorubet 30189]

Booker with her money’s worth on that foul

[HenryJames 66038]

Game was over in the second quarter.

But they were small steps... 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Weirdly, I think this is a game where not having Booker might have helped us. 

She's been off offensively and we've been adding more athleticism on the defensive end when she's off the court.

She's been bringing the ball up the court most of the night

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Booker refusing to shoot or create her own shot
