Do forfeits somehow not count in overall record?

3 losses by a total of 13 points.  Big 12 opener without Rori (Madison's first real opponent playing full PG), in Manhattan and OU tearing our defense apart (with a 5 point margin that included 5 miraculous points by OU in the first quarter)

Bouncing the ball into the hoop was something I would attempt in a game of HORSE at the playground basketball court, but I had no idea it was a legal shot until that game against OU

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Baylor just beat WVU which means a Texas win vs. TCU today will jump us in to a tie for 3rd in the Big12

[perfectchaos007 6780]

11-6 Texas after 1. close your eyes if you like shot making.

[Js1 87333]

We still have a lot of issues closing out on shooters 

[TommysTinyTowels 828]

Third game no Faye.

[Js1 87333]

The jump shooting is not it, it’s e need to continue to go through Jones. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

23-20 at half. Ugly game

[Js1 87333]

9-0 run by TCU to close it to 23-20 at half 

[Js1 87333]

This team cannot close out the TCU shooters and they can shoot it 

This team needs to wake the fuck up 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

TCU is getting so many bonus opportunities and they are taking full advantage. Texas needs to get the 50/50 balls

Apparently every time I walk away, we go on a run. So…

Also OSU is giving KSU all it can handle in the third. Up 39-38

Edited February 10 by Js1

[perfectchaos007 6780]

49-32 Texas after 3. Much better quarter offensively for TExas

[Js1 87333]

OSU up 49-43 now. Oh what a perfect day if WV, KSU and Ou all lost 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Holle with 14 points so far. She's having herself a game

[Js1 87333]

Good halftime adjustments as Texas is doubling up TCU in 2nd half points to pull away and now up 22

[Js1 87333]

Texas pulls away and wins 65-43

OSU up 66-64 with 2:11 left

That might have been the worst last shot play I've even seen.

[Rickylovesweed 15584]

Since the OU game the defense has drastically improved.

The team got the message but Vic also adjusted by getting more athletic by giving Jak more minutes. We had to get more athletic with no Rori. 

 

[Js1 87333]

OU has overcome Hilton Magic tonight. Damn

[perfectchaos007 6780]

OU concluded their non-conference by losing to a SWAC team that is currently sitting 4th in their conference to looking like the inevitable winner of the Big12. They turned on the switch at the right time.

Nah, they're just the healthiest team.

Texas and K-State are the best two teams in the Big 12 with their star player.

It’s both.

I’m still convinced OU will have a couple more losses. I think we return the favor when we play them in Norman and they still have to play Baylor again and at West Virginia. Anything can happen.

To beat OU in Norman Vic is going to have to make some adjustments to slow the game down.
Without Rori quickness is this team's kryptonite;  OU/Tot ran circles around us.

One thing going for us is Vic usually learns from his mistakes.

[Js1 87333]

Iowa and Colorado both lost today. Might be some opportunity for movement. Plus NC State earlier this week 

[Rickylovesweed 15584]

We were already ahead of Iowa in NET before today's loss and we beat UCONN head-to-head. The only teams that have a legitimate case as a 1 seed over us are South Carolina and Stanford. 

That OU game will have a lot on the line. It could very well lock in a 1 seed with a win.

I meant poll movement.  We actually did bump up to #3 in NET over UConn. 

First committee reveal is Thursday night. Texas should have trounced UH on Wednesday and be somewhere in the 4-6 range.  It would be nice this week if Arizona picked up a win @ USC, Baylor picked up a win @ OU and ND picks up a win hosting NC State.   Texas needs to take care of business Saturday hosting Iowa State. 

Only 6 regular season games left. 

[Js1 87333]

Back in the top 5, just behind Iowa and ahead of NC State

KSU 7

UConn 15

Baylor 21

OU 23

WV 24

[Js1 87333]

Also for @Pancho, Crème now has us the #2 seed matched with Stanford. We will see if there’s a chance we take NC State’s seed in this week’s bracket

I saw that a few days ago. I’d rather be paired with NC State or Iowa 😬

[Rickylovesweed 15584]

The key for us will be avoiding teams with quick/scoring guards. That's our kryptonite without Harmon.  

[Rickylovesweed 15584]

I don't think we give VIc enough credit for what he's done this year. 

Over half the season without the best 2-way guard in the country and here we are #3 in NET with a chance to be a #1 overall seed.

With a freshman wing playing point for the first time ever, averaging 20 points, 6 boards and 5 assists

Charlie Crème elevated Ohio State to the 1 line over Iowa. I had a feeling, but Buckeyes are 8 in NET and now in prime position to succumb to the #2 ranked team curse this season

Yup. Trying to game a matchup with aggy in the postseason, a tradition that will finally die after this year 

[Js1 87333]

Holle is active hands tonight. Lots of deflections
