  1. I like Carolyn Peck trying to say what Iowa Sate needs to do to win down 17 with 1:14 to go. WTF?
  2. This D is wicked. They have 2 points in the fourth Shaylee with the 3
  3. Hells yes. We got some separation now, let's keep building on it.
  4. Amina running the floor well. She's gonna solid for us for years.
  5. I just hope we don’t “Sark” it and I have to google the shiny new coach's name to find out who he is.

Gonzales has scored in double-figures in 10 games this season and has three games where she has scored 20 or more points. SCORING INSIDE: The Longhorns have a 672-406 (39.5-23.8 per game) advantage in points in the paint over opponents this season. One of the factors have been the emergence of Khadija Faye, who is averaging 9.2 points and 8.8 rebounds a game over her last five games. Faye has posted four double-doubles on the season. FAYE/GASTON DUO: Khadija Faye and DeYona Gaston are stepping up in the absence of Aaliyah Moore. Over the last five games they have combined for 22.8 points per game and 12.8 rebounds per game.

  7. Yeah, in a limited pool of candidates Cal ticks a lot of the important boxes. As stated before there are issues including his age but we are going to lose most of our team at the end of the year and we need a strong presence to keep recruits and pull in portal players. He would also possibly bring some Wildcats with him and he has coached well enough to win a Nat’l. Not too many guys with that on the resume. I think there are bigger hires out there, but the bigger they are, the less possible they seem. I could certainly get behind a long term “up-and-comer” but Cal would be the type of splash hire that would absolutely keep the party from hitting pause.
  8. Ok, make the free throws Sir
  9. Hunter is a liability, gets the pass from Carr and passes it right back. Needs to get his swagger back. Need Rice to get in and drive to the cup like he did in the overtime game.
  10. Wow, letting them play.
  11. Way to much talk in the press about keeping the present staff, making it more acceptable to do just that. CDC - Please don't Terry.
  12. Furq. Well, by the end of the season we should be really good, so I don’t think anyone other than perhaps the top teams would want to see us coming to crash their regional.
  13. Thank god we had Jones back for this game. With 4 fouls on Hadi we would have been in trouble with Jackson. Rori looks exhausted.
  14. Kansas 10 points from the line. We are shooting 58% from the floor, Kansas 36.4% Biggest issue we have is Hadi with 3 fouls but at least Taylor is available for limited minutes.
  15. Vic having to play the two freshman right now, dangerous time
  16. Morris was hot, hate to see her pick up 2 quick fouls.
  17. Great Interview. Talked a little about the men's team. Presser Nuggets: Last game made good plays down the stretch and weren’t rewarded for them (cough..the refs sucked) Texas gets everyone’s best game Not an X’s and O’s issue but how hard you play. Got to play harder, have to communicate on D – had players guarding air. Getting our lead shot blocker back but hard to pull Hadi out the way she is rebounding. Different skill-set with this group, we can score the ball but gave up 86 which was not ok. His 1rst year team didn’t get it until late in the year If we had other teams’ non-conference schedule, we’d only have one loss (cough.. Mulkey) Praised the men’s team and Coach Terry. Still can’t hear the dang questions.

  19. I was in a crappy upper level seat; one of those games you never get over. Some hated opposing coaches you eventually learn to respect but not that fucker. Glad you could express our feelings to him, and thank you for your service.
