Missing Higgs. Badly

36-22 MSST at half 

[Kel Varnsen 8540]

We have no answer for 6"7"

[perfectchaos007 6677]

I just want to see Texas win the 4th quarter. Something to build on

[Js1 85448]

I think we’ll be lucky to make Sweet 16 this year 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Well we won the 4th quarter by 2 points. Lost the game by 18 and really it wasn’t even that close 

[Js1 85448]

Texas (MSU), OU (Auburn), WV (Mizzou), OSU (Tenn) and Tech (Florida) all lost their Big 12/SEC matchups. 

The bottom tier of the conference won their games - ISU (Arky), TCU (Ole Miss) KSU (Vandy) and KU (LSU).  

Lordy, it’s up to Baylor to at least end it in a tie. They’re up 20 at the half 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Ended in a 5-5 tie. We certainly failed to do our part

23-14 Texas after 1

[perfectchaos007 6677]

40-35 Tennessee at half. We went ice cold

[perfectchaos007 6677]

62-57 Tenn after 3

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Any time we start to make a run, we’ll miss a bunny layup on our end and Tenn will knock down a 3 on theirs. Demoralizing. Tenn up by 6 with 4 minutes to go 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Tenn wins 88-82. They led the entire second half even though they never led by more than 7. We Couldn’t get over the hump.

[Js1 85448]

Overrated team. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

I think we’re barely top 25 material this year. In conference play we will lose 5-7 games. Baylor twice (duh) plus at ISU at WVU and a couple more

[ClubWhatever 12153]

Not having multiple legit threats from Bta really limits us in our half court offense.

It was already a rebuild year and that was before we lost Higgs (our best player) and Holmes (2nd/3rd best player). Granted, Holmes was back against Tennessee but she's nowhere close to 100% yet. 

When Higgs was injured this season was over. She's our best defender and best scorer. Best thing Aston can do this year is to get young players experience and run it back next year with Higgs. 

I hope they RS Prince too. Not worth playing her half a year for a season that's already lost because of the Higgs injury.

They need to add 10 adult beverages to that deal for it to be worth it this year

I looked into it but could not figure out where we would have to sit.

Baylor lost to Tree today. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

We pulled away from Stetson late. Way too many turnovers by us today against this 1-8 team

[perfectchaos007 6677]

3-7 OU was leading #1 UConn pretty much the entire game until the 4th quarter when UConn finally took the lead and pulled away. Wtf

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Joyner has her best night of the season shooting 7-14 against UTRGV

[Js1 85448]

Team looked ready to head home for the holidays 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Here's the Australian I mentioned earlier in the thread. I really like this addition. Reminds me a lot of Kristy Wallace. She had a lot of options from top programs. 

Edited December 26, 2018 by texasstrong12

[Longhornmaniac8 255]

I'll say this, if we shoot 67% from 3 with 15 attempts per game, we'll win a lot of games.

I won't hold my breath, but it does seem like the entire team is exorcising some 3 point demons against this poor team.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Next year's team will be good if Higgs comes back. Littleton and Warren weren't highly ranked but they're better than a lot of 5 stars that have come through this program in recent years. 

Starting 5: Higgs, Sutton, Collier, Holmes and Warren. Littleton, Prince, Underdood, Allen-Taylor, Celeste Taylor, and the 2 Australians off the bench. 

That team will win some games. The Australian above (Palmer) will contribute early. She's a floor general and the type of FR that play early.

Littleton was the #33 recruit. Still pretty good. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

#4 @Maryland fell to Rutgers wow

[Js1 85448]

UConn transfer Lexi Gordon (2017 #29) transferring to Tech 

[Js1 85448]

Ok State comes to town tonight.

They are 9-2 overall, with a bunch of cupcake wins and losses to Tennessee (63-76) and UCLA (59-71).

Guard heavy, they don't rely on any one post player to handle the load.  Both Gnanou (7 starts, 16.2 mpg) and De Lapp (3 starts, 17.2 mpg) split time at center.  3 players hitting over 40% from deep, so we will need to watch for them.  It's really the Gray (17 ppg) and Miller (17.8 ppg) show and everyone else just chips in here and there.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Sounds like we need to put pressure on their 3 point shooters. Make them beat us with long 2 point jumpers 

[Js1 85448]

Why, if only our standout perimeter defender wasn't out with an ACL injury.

Womp womp.

[Js1 85448]

14-4 Texas after 1

[Js1 85448]

17 point lead at half. 33-16 Texas

[Goodman 3273]

Guessing 850 here so we’re allowed to move up, kids are digging being able to sit a few rows up tonight. 

[Js1 85448]

48-29 after 3

[Goodman 3273]

Serious nervous energy in here with 1:33 left.

[Js1 85448]

15-0 OSU run and now we lead by 5

[Js1 85448]

Texas wins 60-51

[perfectchaos007 6677]

 Baylor upset UConn today by 11. UConn hadn’t lost a regular season game in 4 years 

[Js1 85448]

Doesn’t feel like a dominant team right now. UConn has no depth and not much size. Baylor/MSU are bad matchups for them. 

[Js1 85448]

Ice cold in Morgantown. Mide starting over White. Injury? 

[Js1 85448]

This team looks awful. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

We're a turnover machine. WVU leads 11-10 after 1. low scoring affair
