4 for 12 from the line. 33% good gawd.

need to get back on D as well

Playing these G5 schools actually gives Texas more issues with the press because they have all these smaller players. 

But it's a losing strategy because trying to run with this Texas team leads to easy baskets off turnovers.

Just imagine when Texas gets Gaston and Moore back. Only question is who loses minutes? Faye probably? 

Yeah, I don’t know. Good problem to have I guess. I think Moore will have to earn her place again, she’s been out so long.

Won’t be as worried about foul trouble down low like we have been in the past.

Feels weird not to hate the Baylor coach.

Yeah, I really dislike Gerlich and Fennelly and find myself respecting Collen and Baranczyk. They both speak pretty highly of Vic and Texas when we play - unlike the other 2.

Codio showing some signs! Nice to see, but I cringe seeing all those knee braces out there.

You’ll never see this lineup but we could probably have a Maul-Codio-Shaylee-Moore lineup of knee braces lol

It's early but:

Rori 50% (5-10) - 56.2% last year, so not much of a difference. Her FT shooting as a freshman was exceptional (73.3%) but she's been steadily going downhill 
Booker 67% (2-3)
Muhammad 50% (6-12) - 44% last year, so she's doing better!
Jones 43.8% (7-16) - 67.1% last year, so she's struggling
Holle 16.7% (1-6) - 61.3% last year, so she's REALLY struggling, but was 46.2% the year before
Faye 75% (3-4) - 69.3% last year, so she's doing better
Jak 50% (2-4) - 69.8% last year, so worse

Team is currently missing Gaston (69% last year and 68.3% the year before) and Moore (71.7% last year in limited time and 67.% as a freshman).  Also Shaylee hasn't shot any FTs yet, she was 86.2% last year.

Moral of the story - get the ball in the hands of Booker, Faye or Shaylee late in close games, and maybe Gaston and Moore once they are back.

Thanks for compiling that for us.

I know Vic will have a good gameplan defensively.

Defending them is still going to be hard, but we can match up to them height wise at every position but PG.  Muhl has 5 inches on Rori.  We have a small height advantage on 6'1 Griffin (G/F) with Amina at 6'4.  Jones and Faye have an inch on Edwards in the post.

We somehow only lost @ UConn last year, without Rori, by 7.

Faye and Gaston only played a combined 17 minutes. Jak won't play 22 minutes. And obviously no Sonya Morris (21 points, 5-10 from 3)
