Texas Women's Basketball 2021-2022 - "Vic's Got It Going!!"

[texasstrong12 4668]

This is why Gaston was the #1 recruit at one point. 

It's just a matter of if she can stay healthy. Not many players her size that can do this type stuff on the perimeter. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

We can't shoot FTs at all. 

[Js1 82355]

Aggy not going away 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Like Tennessee, the worry is going to be depth with 3 players out due to injury. 

 

[texasstrong12 4668]

That's 2 on Gaston. This is the problem now without Moore.

Just got to weather a couple min until the half 

[Js1 82355]

Texas up 36-26 at half 

[perfectchaos007 6527]

10 point lead at the half for Texas. This is where we were against Tennessee and then we shit the bed late and lost. Good opportunity for us to turn a corner

[texasstrong12 4668]

Gotta keep pounding the ball inside if aggy continues to play these 4 guard lineups. 

Ebo or Gaston will have a huge mismatch inside.

Maybe but I think the big issue in that game was lack of depth. Tired legs in the 4th. 

Probably going to have the same issue in this game as Gaston and Ebo are having to play almost all the minutes at the 4/5 right now. Schaefer's full court system/"40 minutes of hell" means you need a ton of bodies to play this way.

I mean, I think its unrealistic at this point to expect all scholarship players to be healthy at once. All teams go through injuries, and just look at what happened with Bueckers at U-Conn today. Tennessee was down their leading scorer when we played them. Being healthy is a huge advantage but difficult to count on.

They mentioned a lot of ankle injuries. Are we running too hard in practice?

Yeah, but being down 3 players (2 of which would play huge minutes) is a major problem in Schaefer's system. 

He runs full court press almost all game which means you need 9 to 10 players. Injuries exacerbate problems in Schaefer's system because you need so many bodies to play this way.

aggy going zone. Somebody has to hit some outside shots. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Our FT shooting is awful. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Harmon is fucking incredible.

Yeah it’s not a strength, sadly 

[texasstrong12 4668]

aggy gets a good look whenever they put Ebo in pick and roll. Let's hope they don't realize this lol. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Ebo is getting gassed. I don't think she's come off the court yet. 

[Js1 82355]

Holle making an impact 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Our offense goes to shit when Allen-Taylor, Warren and Ebo are all on the court together. 

Need Harmon and Matharu to stay on the court together. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Ebo needs a break. She's completely gassed but not sure what we will do at the 5. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Schaefer putting Gaston at the 5. 

[Js1 82355]

Matharu feeling it. But Roby doing work inside on us 

[Js1 82355]

We need to double Roby. Gaston cannot guard Roby 1-v-1 and now has 4

[texasstrong12 4668]

This is where depth really becomes a problem now. That's 4 on Gaston. 

Ebo gonna have to play now even if she's gassed. 

[Js1 82355]

We cannot guard Roby without fouling. We are fucked 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Warren and Allen-Taylor give effort but they just aren't good offensively. They're leaving Warren wide open. 

This team will ride or die with the youngins. 

[Js1 82355]

54-46 Texas. To the fourth. Buckle up 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Matharu and Harmon can't come off the court or we won't have enough offensively. 

[Pato del Muerto 51914]

Can our post defenders not play defense without hacking?  Every entry pass is a shooting foul. I get that they are tired.

Ebo just isn't athletic. Can't really move lol. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Ebo is killing us but we don't have another option right now unless you want to play a FR with little to no experience. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Matharu is on fire. Lord. 

[Js1 82355]

Matharu is sick 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Every possession needs to be Matharu or Harmon. Nobody else shoot it. 

[Js1 82355]

Matharu and aggy turnovers coming up big in the 4th

[texasstrong12 4668]

Schaefer is such a good coach. He's told his team Matharu is getting the ball every possession. 

[Js1 82355]

61-48 Texas. 7 min to go

That's what I'm seeing too. He has given her the green light to shoot, drive, whatever she sees

[texasstrong12 4668]

Best thing to stop our bigs from getting abused is to continue this full court pressure to prevent them from getting the ball inside. 

[Pato del Muerto 51914]

Harmon with matharu and hunter will be unfair when it happens.

Yup. Hunter might be a better pure scorer than both. 

Scary hours. 

[Js1 82355]

Gaston done 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Matharu and Harmon both 5 stars. 

You win with this type of talent. 

[Js1 82355]

Texas needs to play the clock game for a bit. Bring in Ebo under 3 min 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Now we're playing somebody that's hardly played at the 5. Trying to buy at least a couple minutes with Ebo having 4 fouls. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

I don't think I would double the post because aggy needs some 3s. Just play straight up in the post. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

This is a top 10 team when Hunter and Moore come back. I don't think that's even a question really. 

 

 

[Js1 82355]

19 point lead with 3 min left. Just play smart and run clock
