Texas women's basketball '18-19

[Pancho 44986]

We won by 1

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Looks like Quinnipiac missed a game winning layup and Texas won by 1

[Js1 85566]

I’ll take it. Time to game plan for without Lashann if the injury is serious. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

WVU let a 20+ point lead slip away as they just lost to Iowa

[texasstrong12 4668]

If Higgs is out long-term we are screwed. If she is out we should just throw in the towel on the season to be honest. 

RS both Higgs and Prince and run it back next year. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

May as well redshirt Joyner too. Let’s see how we look against Michigan tomorrow first and go from there 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Today Baylor was in a dog fight with SDSU and won by 6. UConn won by just 10 against Saint Johns. Top teams didn’t play their best today it seems 

[RockyMountainHighHorn 896]

Can’t say I follow this team a ton but over the years I have more. I caught on the scroller we were down by 10 at the end of 1 to quinn. I thought that maybe I remembered seeing them being decent last year so was like alright. Just looked at the final and let’s just say I was happy but very surprised to see us in bold. 

Edit- one quick favor, can someone posts the names of the freshmen on our team this year? Wasn’t one like #3 in the country and another top 10-15?

23-8 start against Michigan 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Impressive half with all the injuries. Damn more of this please. 

Edited November 25, 2018 by texasstrong12

[texasstrong12 4668]

Yeah, I can see why Aston was hyping Warren in the preseason. 

[Js1 85566]

39-14 at half. Killing them 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Michigan is 5/36 from the field. Yikes. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Any updates on the Higgs injury?

Real deal 

[Js1 85566]

Solid win. I think we play Fordham 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Yeah Fordham upset Washington today so we play them next

I knew Warren had to be good the way Aston was hyping her. Aston hates freshman and is normally really critical of their play. 

From the get go she’s been high on Warren. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Wonder why the recruiting sites weren’t big on her. Regardless, I’m glad Aston saw something special with her

When I watch her play I don’t see a player that’s really an elite athlete. Recruiting services love freak athletes. 

But she’s crafty as hell and does everything well. She’s not going to jump out of the gym or blow by players but she’s fundamentally sound across the board. 

Aston said Warren has the highest basketball IQ of any freshman she’s coached and it shows.

[texasstrong12 4668]

The other thing about Warren is I really have no clue what position she plays or is a best fit at. She can play point, shooting guard and small forward. 

I think that’s a big reason she’s good. In today’s game positions don’t matter. The versatile types with different skill sets are what drive teams.

Craig Way said Joyner could be back in 1-2 weeks and Sedona mid-season

[Js1 85566]

Fordham apparently the best 3 point team ever 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Fordham shot 69% from the field in the 1st quarter and we’re only down 1

[Js1 85566]

Sug is absolutely picking up the slack with Higgs sidelined. I’m very impressed with her taking over games 

[Js1 85566]

39-28 Texas after 2

That would be great but I want Higgs back more than anything. Hopefully we can get her back this season

Way said they won't have a full assessment on the injury until returning to Austin.  Guessing they didn't want to send Higgs back home without George, so she stuck around and was on crutches.

[Js1 85566]

It's a shame we didn't get to face Mizzou or Duke over the break to see how our team really is.  We're 6-0 but our only legit competition is Michigan because we missed out on Mizzou and Duke/Washington in the champ game.

The next 2 Sundays are the big games - MSU and Tenn.

MSU - 6-0 but they've played no one (Virginia is the only P5 team they've played)

Tenn - 5-0 but they've played no one (Clemson is the only P5 team they've played).  They play @ Ok State on Sunday.

Fml. Can she still redshirt

Yeah she only played in what, 4 games? Out of the like, 30 we play. It’s 30% right? 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Yeah she can get a medical RS. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Next year we’ll be stacked if healthy

[Js1 85566]

Even losing Jatarie we will be fucking stacked. 2020 might be the year. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

yeah, we will be loaded next year if Higgs returns. 

You never want to see injuries like this but in the long run it might actually be beneficial. This team was probably a year away with everyone healthy to begin with.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Tomorrow morning is the field trip game. I set my DVR since I definitely won’t be able to catch it at work 

[Js1 85566]

98-54 win. Aston’s career 250th win

Sounds like a really good crowd at the game 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Miss State’s size is giving us lots of trouble, and theyre getting lots of 2nd Chance points. 18-9 Miss St at the end of the 1st quarter 

[Js1 85566]

That doesn’t surprise me. This was a bad matchup against 6’7

[perfectchaos007 6677]

We also can’t make a shot. 7 minute scoring drought 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Mississippi state went on a 16-0 run

[perfectchaos007 6677]

32-15 MSST. I dread what Baylor and Khalani Brown will do to us this year
