Sounds like Taylor will be out for a while. Vic said she would be evaluated "weekly"
Still no update on Hunter...I'm surprised she's still on the roster at this point

Unsurprisingly, Texas fell out of the AP top 25 for the first time since Vic's first year here.

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)

Yeah tears were flowing in the presser about Aaliyah Moore. Hopefully she can make a speedy recovery, but it did not look good

 

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.

Team is snake bitten with injuries. Just seems like it's going to be one of those years where nothing goes right with injuries. 

 It's been a rough one. One of those wins that feels like a big loss. Still hoping for the best though.

Dammit.

Gaston named Big 12 POW for her 20 point, 16 rebound game.

First Big 12 player of the 2022-23 season to record a 20+ point, 15+ rebound game and the first Longhorn to do so since Charli Collier. 

Her first weekly POW honor. She had 1 FOW honor in 2020-21.

Tomorrow is the AISD field trip game at 11am. Jackson State is probably the best team in the SWAC, so couple that with Texas' injuries I could see a very competitive game.

We are playing at Jackson State though?

You're right, I saw 11am and just assumed because it was the only weekday morning game left on the schedule. I guess they aren't doing the field trip game this year.....the tradition died with the Erwin Center. RIP

I mentioned one year we did it against OU in January. Don’t be so sure

Texas went on that run in this game with Morris on the bench. I think Schaefer needs to stagger the minutes between Gonzales and Morris. They don't need to play as many minutes together because neither are really defensive players. 

This team is at its best when they're defensive minded and create offense from turnovers.
