FT shooting isn’t gonna be a strength…

Neither is the 3 ball. We missed all of our attempts today. 

[Js1 85,291]

Texas wins 91-61

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

Hopefully, WV makes the finals of that Gulf Coast tournament or else this non-conference schedule will be a snooze fest outside of ND. 

12/14 or 13/14 games will likely be blowouts dependent on if WV makes the finals of that tournament.

Don’t forget we have Maryland in the 2025 portion of the schedule

Phelia might be the best pure scorer on the team. Think her minutes will increase eventually. 

She is deceptively athletic

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

Phelia scored nearly 17 points a game for 2 years at Michigan. 

21 minutes a game here doesn't seem like nearly enough but you have to really buy into the defensive end for Vic to trust you. Still, she's too talented of a scorer to only play 21 minutes a game. 

[Js1 85,291]

We are doing well offensively without a 3 point shooting threat and Moore having a really slow start to the year. She better be careful or we will be starting the 4 guard lineup or Carlton will take her spot. I like what I see from Carlton a lot

This defense travels, so we are going to be in a lot of games when we have poor shooting nights

The thing about 3 point shooting, is yeah we aren’t making many 3s but we aren’t attempting many 3s. Until teams can keep us out of the midrange and paint we aren’t going to jack 3s. 

Are we a poor 3 point shooting team or just a team that scores better at other levels? We won’t find that out until a few teams go more zone against us.

Not just zone, but when we encounter teams who can match our size and neutralize our inside game of Jones/Oldacre.  Our guards are going to have to hit outside shots to soften up the inside. 

WV has 6'4, 6'3, 6'3, 6'3 up front, so that will be a good first test
ND has 6'3, 6'5, 6'3, 6'4 up front
Maryland has 6'2, 6'2, 6'2, 6'2, 6'3, 6'2, 6'6 up front

And Texas has to contend with the likes of 6'3 Culliton, 6'4 Johnson, 6'2 Scott and 6'4 Beers at OU, 6'5 Wolfenbarger, 6'6 Del Rosario, 6'1 Morrow at LSU, 6'3 Watkins, 6'3 Edwards, 6'5 Tac, 6'2 Kitts, 6'3 Feagan, 6'4 Dauda at South Carolina, 6'2 Gaston, 6'4 Milton, 6'5 Akinbalawa, 6'4 Scott, 6'5 Thurman at Auburn, etc.

Vic’s NIL

11am against Tarleton State tomorrow. It must be the AISD field trip game with screaming kiddos

[Js1 85,291]

31-10 Texas after 1

[Js1 85,291]

53-23 Texas at half

20 for Booker

[Js1 85,291]

70-34 after 3

[Js1 85,291]

Texas ins 83-41

Not much of a 2nd half to write home about - 53 first half points, 30 second half points. But we only allowed 18 points in the second half, after 23 in the first half. 

14 for Holle
11 for Harmon
25 for Booker
9 for Oldacre
7 for Preston

Boutillier is back in a walking boot like she was all last season. When you’re a 6’9” woman and 2XX pounds your joints aren’t going to allow you to play for long. She may never see the floor in college basketball 

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

Didn't watch. Is Phelia injured or benched for some reason again?

According to Vic during yesterday's post-game interview, Phelia was hit in the jaw during practice Tuesday so they kept her out of the game as a precaution. She should be good to go during their Thanksgiving tournament.

[Js1 85,291]

Ouch.  She's had a weird start to her Texas career. 

[Rickylovesweed 14,262]

I think transfers have a bit of a culture shock coming here. It’s a different level physicality that they aren’t prepared for.
