Texas Women’s Basketball 2024-2025 - We SEC Ready

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

Man, Vic has a lot of trust in these FR.

Playing them in clutch moments.

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

Winning this game inside.

WV has no answer for the big bodies inside between Oldacre, Moore, and Carlton. Does Jones have some type of injury? She hasn't played at all in the 2nd half but Oldacre deserves the minutes.

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

We're just bullying them inside. 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

A technical on Vic?

What the fuck are these refs doing? Vic is pissed because Rori has been hit in the head 3 possessions in a row. 

Edited Monday at 02:31 AM by Rickylovesweed

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

That was dirty. WV took a clear swing at Rori. They better upgrade that to a technical on the WV player. 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

What the fuck are these refs doing?

This is so bad. 

[Js1 85929]

This final 2 minutes is a mess 

[Js1 85929]

6-0 run on FTs has WV within 4

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

The technical was so bad on Vic. He was just trying to protect his player and they didn't even upgrade the foul. 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

Need these FTs Booker. 

[Js1 85929]

Booker the closer!

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

Booker. ICE. 

Feels like a Sweet 16/Elite 8 game. 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

We should foul now. 

Only 6.2 seconds. Don't let them shoot a 3.

Steal by Carlton works too 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

Carlton!

[Js1 85929]

Texas wins 78-73 and stays unbeaten 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

Nice win against #12 on a neutral court.

In a game where Harmon and Booker were both off. 

[Js1 85929]

Go home and rest up for ND on Thursday. Give those girls the day off tomorrow, Vic

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

Harmon and Booker were only 8/24 from the floor today. Just off games for both but hard to play 3 games in 3 days.

This game was won inside with Moore, Oldacre, and Carlton. They abused WV on the offensive glass and shot a ton of FTs playing bully ball inside.

[Js1 85929]

#2 in the first NET, behind SoCar 

TCU a surprising #5 and WV at 10

ND is 13 and Ou is 16

aggy is 83 and tech is 70

Good, because our guards were kinda ass besides Booker.

I know they lost a couple games on the road, but we’ll get the best version of Hidalgo and Notre Dame in south bend. We need Booker and Harmon to find their rhythm that game or we could easily lose that one if we become one dimensional in the paint

I understand their loss to TCU - TCU did not let their post players do anything and just let their guards score, knowing it won't be enough. Sedona went for 20/20 in that game

The Utah loss was puzzling - Utah is not good.

Vic said in his postgame comments yesterday that he is now blessed with guard depth and needs to figure out the rotation. Shay is a warrior but she is a defensive liability at times with quick guards. Hopefully Vic will start Phelia and insert a healthy dose of Preston and Lee on Thursday.

I am fine with moving Holle to first off the bench and Phelia starts over her. We need her quickness and offense 

Vic said preseason that Holle or Phelia could be SEC 6th player of the year, it’s just a matter of deciding who starts by conference play 

[perfectchaos007 6723]

Texas is back to #4 in the AP poll. 
Notre Dame wasn’t punished much at #10
WVU #15

WV is better than #15, IMO.

Yeah, they have one of the best backcourts in the country. I think they’re gonna win the Big 12. 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

I hope we continue to recruit players like Oldacre. 

No offense to her, but having a player big-bodied like that creates a ton of issues for other teams. She's just so big in the paint that you have to send multiple bodies to box her out and she shuts down driving lanes on the defensive end. 

We should have one of these space eaters on the team every year. 

 

[Js1 85929]

This week is a banger of a December week for women's hoops for ranked matchups (SEC/ACC matchup ft. a lot of ranked teams) 

14 Kentucky @ 16 UNC
4 Texas @ 10 ND
18 Ole Miss @ NCST
8 Duke @ 3 SoCar

Saturday
Tenn @ 17 Iowa
22 Louisville @ 2 UConn
6 USC @ Oregon

Sunday
22 Illinois @ 12 Ohio State
3 SoCar @ 9 TCU

And you can watch Ayoka Lee take belt to ass against aggy in CS on Sunday too

Justice is a good one.

4 steals (including a game sealing one against WV)
 

[86txex 174]

I would love to see a lineup of Rori, Layla, Booker, Carlton and Odacre. I think that could wreak some havoc.

I kind of feel like we are working towards it. 

Leila needs to start over Holle
Moore is at risk of losing her starting job to Carlton
Oldacre > Jones

Yeah, you can make a good argument our bench frontcourt is better than the starters. Good to have that depth. 

[Rickylovesweed 14858]

I think Vic is going to rotate a lot between Jones, oldacre, Moore, and Carlton. The idea being can you handle that type physicality for 40 minutes with all 4 of them as most teams will only have 1 or 2 quality frontcourt players.
