Harmon must be on a minutes restriction. 

Very likely. Manage her workload until conference play. A big part of missing multiple games/weeks is conditioning for Vic’s defensive system. Part of why I’d expect nada from Hunter if she even came back.

Texas wins 74-50 in Rori’s comeback game - she had 11 points 

3-3 with the chance to win our next 7 to enter conference play 10-3 after the 1-3 stretch without Rori 

Back in action on Saturday against USF

I’m addition to the new announced SEC/ACC challenge, the SEC finalized its new WBB format once we join 

Quote

Women's Basketball

  • Regular season: Each season a team will play one rotating opponent home and away, plus the 14 remaining teams in single contests either home or away, for a total of 16 conference games.
  • SEC Women's Basketball Tournament: All 16 teams will compete in a single-elimination format, consistent with the current format but with two additional games. The top four seeded teams will continue to receive a bye through the first two rounds of the tournament

Notables

RORI'S RETURN: After sitting out the first five games of the season with a toe injury, sophomore All-American Rori Harmon made her return in the Longhorns win vs Princeton. Harmon played 24 minutes and scored 11 points and added two assists and one steal. Harmon was recently named to the Wade Trophy Watch list for the top collegiate women's basketball player, marking her eighth preseason honor. 

TOUGH SCHEDULE: The Longhorns have played a challenging schedule through their first six games. All three of their defeats are against top-25 teams with two of the three against top-10 teams. 

MAJOR MINUTES FOR THE FRESHMEN: The Texas freshmen Amina Muhammad and Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda have played significant minutes for the Longhorns.

WTF is going on here 

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

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.

Not worried about the team or this game. 23 first quarter points can’t happen but they continued to play better defense. 
 

sometimes a team just shoots well and usf did that. 

Just taking some lumps as we gel

Work-in-Process

Defense needs work.  Offense really needs work.  Haven't had much of a chance to watch this season yet, but a glaring hole for the Horns last night is terrible outside shooting.  Really wish Texas had a couple of better 3pt shooting threats -- USF definitely did. 

Coach'em up Vic !!!

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….

Agree with this here. I thought they started to figure some stuff out in the 4th quarter, but I think it was too late. 

We are clearly out of contention for a 1 seed. I think our ceiling is a 3, which is fine.
