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.

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.

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.  

Southern
Richmond
La Salle
SD State
UTRGV

5 games in 2.5 weeks before SEC play starts.

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

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.

Yeah, ND is good. 

Their early season struggles had a lot to do with adjusting without Westbeld. When they get her back they will be legit national title contenders (I picked them to win it all). 

Wonder if they play UCLA bc they’ve beaten 2-3-4 already

Richmond is also #26 in NET.

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

Lol we are already #2 in NET, I don’t think we need the help 

The SEC has (besides us) currently 1, 7, 13, 15, 19, 22, 23, 25, 30, 51, 59, 61. Aggy will be a drag, at 95, along with Arky at 135 and Georgia at 155

We are going to be just fine. We also have that late non-conf versus Maryland at #18

Oh I know we are going to be fine but think we will be playing for a 1 seed.

Our non-conference schedule is looking a lot better than expected.

WV is really good and Richmond is good for a G5 team. Also, South Dakota State will be another tricky one in a week but at home this time. They're 9-2 with some really quality wins and close losses to good teams. 

They're #41 in NET.

That could be a hell of a tournament with at least 3 top 10 teams and maybe 4 (no idea on Duke for next year), but Texas/SC will always be top 10 preseason and UCLA returns Barker, Rice, Jacquez, Gardiner and Betts and Leger-Walker is redshirting to play next year due to injury.

Apparently JuJu rolled her ankle (likely not too serious, but not sure yet) in a game against Elon when USC was up 50 points with 5 minutes left

Wtf was your star player even in the game for? To stuff the stat sheet?
