  2. Rori Having trouble bringing the ball up. Pressure bothering us
  3. Shaylee for three puts us up by 10 in the third quarter
  4. Booomm! Champs!
  5. Kyndall Hunter just posted a very nice video on her Instagram about being a guard for Texas and about playing for Vic. Hope is alive, we could use another guard about now. Kyndall Instagram
  6. WTF? Now they show Shay and Jak got in at the end of the game.... Shay missed a shot and Jak hit two FTs. Shay 6 minutes, Jak 2
  7. Wow, only playing 7. Maybe they are sick- flu?
  8. Thanks for this. Makes me feel a little better about losing him.

  10. Certainly better than our last coach. oh wait..... Better than our previously last coach.
  11. Thanks for posting that @perfectchaos007 Hadi and Gaston both played great. Poor sound on the questions again. Watching that and seeing how upset the team was you have to give them massive credit for continuing to play at a high level after AMo went down. Yeah, doesn’t look good. It's been a rough one. One of those wins that feels like a big loss. Still hoping for the best though. Dammit.
  12. Well, we are who our record says we are. Today. But the team looked better last time and with a lot of new players working to get on board with Vic's system it's going to take a while. But you can already see Shaylee, Sonya, Hadi and the freshman looking more comfortable, strangely enough though it's Holle and Moore that seem to have regressed a bit. Wish Jones wasn't going to be out, would like to have the whole team learning together and she is a very important piece for us if she can stay on the court. (not including Kyndall under "whole team" anymore)
  13. Cathartic game for us, the right opponent at the right time, should build some confidence. Nice to see the smiling faces, Shaylee and Sonya both with great games and looking more comfortable. With Taylor out Hadi getting some valuable time. Fun game to watch, we will get there. Go Ladys!
  14. Spot on. We could really use Matharu right now. Best shooter we have is Sonya, and Vic dog housed her in the second half. Might be hurt….
  15. Puisi played 40 minutes, 25 points, 10 for 19 and 5 for 11 from three. They are 8 and 3 we are 3 and 4..... This is not like losing to a much lesser team, they will be in the tournament. Not the team I expected this year, but we are a work in progress. At least Shaylee looked better and when we get Jones back that should help. Don't see that patented Vic defense yet, hopefully in a month the team play will be better. Go Horns.
  16. Puisi killed us in this game. Great shooter.
  17. We needed that bucket Hadi missed, but at least she got the board on the other end. Tough game, great opponent.
  18. If Taylor wasn't out we'd be looking a lot better. Her presence in the paint is crucial for us this year. C'mon Ladys!
  19. This is a very good South Florida team. Pounded lesser teams and only lost to the ranked opponents. They are 7 and 2 Beat TCU Georgia Tech and Alabama. Only lost by five to number 17 Michigan And we have a long way to go to figure this out. They appear to have better shooters than us, and we look terrible in transition D
