  1. Yeah, he's been in the paint and open a number of times tonight.
  2. Thankfully it's on ESPN1 now, I was going to need some Dramamine for that shit.
  3. On Vic's show today concerning Gaston and Warren: “I know they got banged up. They were up in the training room and you know they get checked out one more time and checked out during the game and were checked out again today. They’ll see the doctor for one more round of being double sure. We will make sure those kids are ok.” A little rambling but he says they are going to be "double sure" so it sounds like the staff thinks they are good to go, pending final approval.
  4. Do not want Baylor or SC but for the love of god can someone knock Mulkey out before we may have to face her?
  5. 6 Straight, ladies doing work, peaking at the right time Praying our girls are ok
  6. Game 27: #11/12 Texas (20-6, 10-5 Big 12) vs TCU (6-18, 2-13 Big 12) Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022 – 7:00 p.m. Central Frank Erwin Center (16,540) – Austin, Texas GameDay Quick Facts: • TELEVISION: The game will be televised nationally on Longhorn Network. Tyler Denning (pxp) and Andrea Lloyd (analyst) will call the action. • RADIO: 105.3 The Bat broadcasts every UT game on the statewide network. Roger Wallace (pxp) and Kathy Harston (analyst) will call the action. Check TexasSports.com for a listing of affiliates carrying the game. • SERIES: Texas leads, 48-4. Last meeting: Texas 68-47 (Jan. 22 , 2022; Fort Worth). LEADING IN: The No. 11/12 Texas Women's Basketball team will return home this Saturday (7 p.m. CT, LHN) as they play host to TCU inside the Erwin Center. The Longhorns are riding a five-game win streak entering Saturday's contest and are coming off of a 62-51 victory over on the road on Wednesday. The Horned Frogs are coming off of a 92-57 home loss to Oklahoma on Wednesday and have dropped 10-straight games entering Saturday's tilt. THE SERIES: Texas and TCU will meet for the 53rd time overall on Saturday. The Longhorns own a 48-4 advantage over the Horned Frogs in the all-time series and are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings. Texas took down TCU 68-47 on the road in their first meeting of the season (Jan. 22). MANHATTAN MILESTONE: With Wednesday's victory at Kansas State, second-year head coach Vic Schaefer secured his 9th-straight season with at least 20 wins dating back to 2013-14 season during his tenure as the head coach at Mississippi State. During that span, Schaefer has also had three teams eclipse the 30-plus win mark in a season. THE SCHAEFER FORMULA: Longhorn head coach Vic Schaefer makes no secret in the way his teams have found success over the years. Relentless full court defensive pressure, attention to detail, and limiting turnovers and mistakes have been built in to the identity of his programs. The 2021-22 Longhorns are no different ranking among the best in the country in several defensive categories. UT currently ranks No. 1 in the Big 12 and No. 32 in the NCAA holding opponents to just 56.3 points per game. They also lead the league and rank No. 11 nationally in turnovers forced at 21.7 per contest and rank No. 6 in turnover margin at 6.77. HITTING THEIR STRIDE: After dropping three-straight games from Jan. 29 – Feb.6 , the Longhorns have righted the ship as they've won five in a row and are playing some of their best basketball of the season down the stretch run of the regular season. With three games remaining in the Big 12 regular season schedule, the Longhorns sit in a three-way tie for third place in the league standings with Oklahoma and Kansas at 10-5. Iowa State and Baylor share the top spot in the standings at 12-3. SCOUTING THE HORNED FROGS: TCU has had a rough go of it during their 10-game skid as they enter play in last place in the Big 12 Conference standings and haven't recorded a victory since Jan.19 vs Texas Tech. The Horned Frogs rank No. 9 in the league offensively averaging just 61.3 points per contest while allowing 73.6 points per game on defense, which also ranks No.9 in the Big 12. Senior guard Lauren Heard paces the team offensively and ranks No. 8 in the conference averaging 14.8 points per game. She also leads the team on the glass averaging 5.9 rebounds per game. Okako Adika is the team's second-leading scorer at 9.8 points per contest while Tavy Diggs is third at 6.7 points. NEXT: Following Saturday's tilt, Texas will travel to Kansas for their final road contest of the regular season on Wednesday, March 2. Tip is slated for 7 p.m. CT and will air nationally ESPN+. The Longhorns will conclude the regular season on Saturday, March 5, as they host Oklahoma State (1 p.m. CT, LHN) for Senior Day inside the Erwin Center.
  7. Tops scorers for this year. For reference Taurasi averaged 16.2 ppg her last year at Genoville and Sue Bird a blistering 14.4
  8. Would truly love to beat Baylor in the B12 tournament, that dog has been on our ankle way too long. The confidence boost would serve this team well in the NCAAs. If Rori is playing at the high level she's capable of it certainly feels possible with the way the team has looked lately. I think Baylor is just so deep in our heads we just don't expect to win.
  9. From Texassports: "When Anissa joined the team, they did make the ask to Nike to get her a standard jersey with her name. Due to the nature of that timing and lasting supply chain issues from the pandemic, Nike was unable to provide this for this year despite the team’s best efforts." So you are correct @Js1
  10. Outstanding. You can't help but feel the team is coming together at the right time. Moore with some good minutes tonight and Matharu as @Js1 said back up to 16 in the scoring column.
  11. Hells yes. The Vic hire has been one of Texas' all time great moves.
  12. Announcer, "both times K state has played Texas they have not been who they want to be"
  13. Great win on the road, two for the night. Life is good. Held them to 51 points, great job.
