Texas (MSU), OU (Auburn), WV (Mizzou), OSU (Tenn) and Tech (Florida) all lost their Big 12/SEC matchups. 

The bottom tier of the conference won their games - ISU (Arky), TCU (Ole Miss) KSU (Vandy) and KU (LSU).  

Lordy, it’s up to Baylor to at least end it in a tie. They’re up 20 at the half

I think we’re barely top 25 material this year. In conference play we will lose 5-7 games. Baylor twice (duh) plus at ISU at WVU and a couple more

It was already a rebuild year and that was before we lost Higgs (our best player) and Holmes (2nd/3rd best player). Granted, Holmes was back against Tennessee but she's nowhere close to 100% yet. 

When Higgs was injured this season was over. She's our best defender and best scorer. Best thing Aston can do this year is to get young players experience and run it back next year with Higgs. 

I hope they RS Prince too. Not worth playing her half a year for a season that's already lost because of the Higgs injury.

Next year's team will be good if Higgs comes back. Littleton and Warren weren't highly ranked but they're better than a lot of 5 stars that have come through this program in recent years. 

Starting 5: Higgs, Sutton, Collier, Holmes and Warren. Littleton, Prince, Underdood, Allen-Taylor, Celeste Taylor, and the 2 Australians off the bench. 

That team will win some games. The Australian above (Palmer) will contribute early. She's a floor general and the type of FR that play early.

Ok State comes to town tonight.

They are 9-2 overall, with a bunch of cupcake wins and losses to Tennessee (63-76) and UCLA (59-71).

Guard heavy, they don't rely on any one post player to handle the load.  Both Gnanou (7 starts, 16.2 mpg) and De Lapp (3 starts, 17.2 mpg) split time at center.  3 players hitting over 40% from deep, so we will need to watch for them.  It's really the Gray (17 ppg) and Miller (17.8 ppg) show and everyone else just chips in here and there.
