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

[Js1 86414]

93-62 final

Harmon with 19 (!!) and Booker with 21 and Lee with 20

Lee was 6-6 from three and Rori was 2-2

[TommysTinyTowels 816]

You know Rori was looking to score immediately after Hidalgo lit her up. Good to see her score efficiently though and hit both threes she took.

What do we think our chances are against Pedo St? They look pretty good and only have 2 losses this year.

Wrong thread and we have to get past a pretty good Creighton squad first who also only has 2 losses (5 setter at Nebraska and 5 setter at Louisville). 

Creighton also has wins over USC, Purdue, Kansas and Marquette three times.

Whoops, my bad. Moved my comment over to there.

Texas dropped to #6 in the AP poll after losing to Notre Dame. I don't expect any poll shakeups until next year when conference play starts.

Barring upsets, not a lot of ranked on ranked:

18 ISU @ 21 Iowa - 12/11
2 UConn @ 8 ND  - 12/12
25 GT @ 14 UNC - 12/15
18 USU @ 2 UConn - 12/17
10 OU @ 20 Michigan - 12/17
24 Neb @ 25GT - 12/21
5 USC @ 2 UConn - 12/21

And then conf play starts around 12/29 (or the weekend before for the Big 12)

17 Mich St @ 7 MD - 12/29
24 Neb @ 1 UCLA - 12/29
20 Michigan @ 5 USC - 12/29

That is pretty much all the ranked on ranked matchups left for the rest of the year.

53.3 points per game? 

Oh god, Southern may not score 40 lol

The deepest part of our bench should be getting the majority of the minutes tonight. Staying healthy is top priority from now until OU

Yep - this stretch of games is where especially Rori, A-Mo and Taylor should be playing 15-20 minutes a game - our most injury prone or coming back from injury players.  Give those minutes to Holle, Lee, Preston, Phelia, Oldacre, Jak and Carlton.

Texas up 45-24 at half. Overall uninspired play thus far. I do not understand why Phelia is not getting more playing time. Moore is not having a good game so move Booker there and play Phelia. Why take Phelia as a transfer if you’re not going to play her. Must be incredibly frustrating for her.

Maybe a health issue?

2 for 13 from 3  for a sizzling 15%

That's got to change. Sagging off Preston

[Rickylovesweed 15193]

FYI, @ Richmond will be a good one.

They're 9-1, only loss is by 2 points, and beat Oklahoma State. That's a tricky game on the road. 

[Rickylovesweed 15193]

Richmond is also #26 in NET.

That's going to be a Q1 win or loss. Great opportunity to help ourselves in NET.

Most of those missed 3’s from Holle.

HEY!

[Rickylovesweed 15193]

I think Lee was injured in the WV game. She came out early in that one and didn't return. Then only played 3 minutes against ND. 

She needs to play a lot. Athletic on the defensive end and can shoot. The shooting is something we need. 

[Rickylovesweed 15193]

The big problem is our starters right now. 

I think our best lineup is Harmon, Lee, Booker, Carlton, Oldacre. Or a smaller lineup of Harmon, Phelia, Lee, Booker, Oldacre. Right now we have 3 starters that probably shouldn't be starters.

 

[86txex 178]

I guess Moore is having nagging knee tendinitis. It’s clearly affecting her play. Totally agree about the starters; it’s like Vic can’t make the change out of loyalty/ seniority or something. Vic is not realizing this team’s full potential by starting those players.

She doesn't have much mobility at all. I guess all the injuries caught up to her.

She can still be an effective player at times but it needs to be a more limited role.

Yep. I was only able to watch the first Q and I was so unimpressed with her. She’s a shell of who she was before all the injuries.

UConn @ Notre Dame,  tonight, 6PM,  ESPN.  

Should be a good one.   Will see how Geno schemes for Hidalgo and Miles.

 

Edit:   Check your listing,  not sure if 7PM or 6PM.
