That was a very tough stretch of games and got through it completely unscathed. 

I hoped for 2-2 against Vandy, SoCar, Kentucky, LSU

Then I was content with 3-1

4-0? Amazing. Toughest stretch of games - Vandy was ranked, SoCar was #2, Kentucky was #8 (maybe not that good, but they had the record) and LSU was #5

WWWW

Texas has an absolute case for #1 overall if UCLA loses again.  At a minimum, the committee just moved us up to #2 with South Carolina dropping 2 of 3 

LSU is now out of the 1 seed race, per Crème’s update this morning

Vandy also lost in 2 OT to MSST at home. 

Gaston has 14 on 6-8 FG

We haven't lost a game since Vic realized we needed to go smaller. 

We should not play more than about 15 to 17 minutes a game with Oldacre/Jones and Moore/Carlton together.

I don't know who should lose minutes but Preston has to play 20+ minutes a game. I guess Holle? 

She's a winning player and completely changes the game with her athleticism/quickness. 

Yes, it will likely come at the expense of Holle.

I wouldn’t start the game with Harmon, Preston, Booker, Lee, Oldacre but that was a hell of a finishing lineup 

I do think Carlton may start at Georgia. She earned it.

Texas BOR needs to re-assess that contract extension and double the money. Take it out of RT’s salary 

We just need to go all in on a big next year in the portal to pair with Oldacre.

The lineup we closed with today is all returning next year. Our best chance at a title is next year.

So glad to see Justice turn things around. Many have been rooting for her.

Holle has made a ton of big plays in her long career. Undoubtedly a great Longhorn who's contributed to a lot of wins and helped Vic reestablish our place among the elite. But for some reason, she's had a tough shooting year. Maybe she's been quietly nursing some injury that hasn't yet healed. Regardless, Preston has an impressive +/- and is desperately needed on both ends of the court at crunch time. Lee, too.

I think she will continue to start but she has been subbed out pretty early for Lee lately. I think she just provides steady leadership at the start of the game and Lee and Preston get to watch the flow of the game before they come in

I'm pretty sure those two were watching the first half and thinking, "I know I can do better than this."

After the last 2 home games, Vic has to trust them. They’ve delivered. That Lee three was so fucking clutch

We need to utilize that inside out more. That’s a selling point for AC

I truly believe Mulkey was surprised that we came back and kicked their ass.

Look, she’s a legit coach - you don’t win 4 titles by accident. But she got out coached today - not the first game this year LSU has just collapsed and lost a big lead. It finally bit them in the ass. 

She doesn’t seem to trust her bench. Vic let 3 players off the bench close out the game

I know some think we don’t have the horses to win it all this year. But I beg to differ: I think this team can do it. I believe gif inserted here.

Defense - oh yeah, elite 

FT shooting - Vic‘s best Texas team, by far

Offense - ???

Toughness - 100000%

Could have fouled at any time down the court. 

Yep. Not a good coaching moment for Johnnie

But damn, Blakes may be national FOY?

Blakes is easily one of the 2-3 best offensive players in the college game. If we had her, 2024-5 would be our first undefeated season since Jody's. Somebody start tampering.

I would take her and Pierre in a heartbeat. 

Also absolutely missed MSST losing to Florida. Oof. I’m not sure we should be below 90% favored in our last 3

You think they beat USC at home March 2nd?

They also play at Iowa, where USC lost. Iowa needs to do another Caitlin Clark day
