  1. "Jaggerson" has solid Anglo roots.
  2. Traore I think is just adjusting to playing again, but Mark has no excuse. Appears he lacks confidence...but well he should, given how he's played so far. Still wish Swain had been given the ball at the end against ASU.
  3. This is a common issue with teams that haven't played together much, especially when there's no clear No. 1 PG to reliably get into the paint and distribute the ball. You're going to rely on a few guys getting hot enough long enough to score 80-plus points and then hope you can scramble to a W. We should improve on D and the boards as guys settle into their roles. Of course, in SEC play the overall level of competition also will ramp up, which might hide any improvement we make this season. I'm just glad there's enough overall ability on the roster to build on. Despite the collapse against ASU, it's been a better beginning than I expected.
  4. I now can confirm that staying up until 11:47 pm ET to watch us win is far better than 2:07 am to lose.
  5. I'll admit I didn't have Weaver or Harmon carrying the late scoring load on today's Longhorn bingo card.
  6. We need Heide to hit some bombs eventually. He can feel free to start right now.
  7. Mark is trying to bury himself on the bench.
  8. Let's just be really stupid and hope they keep missing FTs.
  9. Heide needs to make a positive impact.
  10. Tramon "Off The" Mark so far this year
  11. I don't care what the D or margin is, over the years opponents seem to have hit quite a few last-second bombs on us. Hopefully not fatal tonight.
  12. White smokin'
  13. Our really big, strong man needs to play really big and strong.
  14. We'll be fresh for Corn then. 😃
  15. Have a better alternative in the Final Four? Not saying there isn't one, but for now I'm assuming both these teams will make it there.
  16. I'm thinking UCLA will handle Duke easily enough. That second game never really seemed to be in doubt. If Betts plays as expected, she should score and rebound at will.
  17. Yeah, enough already. I'm way more interested in a Texas-Kentucky volleyball rematch.
  18. Kara Lawson is an age progression of Aaliyah Chavez.
  19. The law of averages suggests we all be skeptical of any player who's not rated at the very top for his position. Even with them we know how often something goes way wrong. Just hope a couple of every half-dozen "fillers" in a class eventually contribute. If a guy has the size and tools, is affordable and of course is also seen as a culture fit, I don't know why we wouldn't roll the dice on him. Especially in the age of NIL. Nobody's signing 28 obvious draft picks.
  20. For whatever reason, the question of whether we can count on Booker to score late in games lingers. She's often a far better offensive player before halftime than after. Same shots taken, and not always against tighter D, but different results. I don't know if it's fatigue or more mental (likely the former), but if I see it, I'm sure opponents also do. Fortunately, Rori saved us today.
  21. Sadly, I'm on Eastern Time. So for me, most of the men's game against ASU occurred on Tuesday morning.
  22. Not sure any team at any level, of either gender, denies inbounds better than we do. A great trademark of Vic's D.
  23. Harmon has been amazing all day.
  24. Pretty tough call either way, but I'll take it.
  25. Monday night was glorious.
