Whatever it was, it was below Texas' average. Thank goodness for Amina, Taylor, Booker's FTs and Gaston to pull the team through.We shot 45% It was a defensive issue.
If Texas were to play every game with the same intensity that our opponents play us… heck, if our opponents played every game with the intensity they play us. Just nuts.Sometimes there are games like this. Every team has them.
Well, then it's a good thing we play at UCF this weekend and not at OU.It we can't guard this lame-a## team from the perimeter, we are toast this weekend again oU. Just awful perimeter defense tonight against a team we should have destroyed. Hopefully this will be a wake up call. Really hurt to have Booker on the bench for 15 mins. She missed more than a full Qtr, and it really showed.
That call pissed me off to no end. The Tech chick (who is a pretty good player) is allowed to pull Taylor's arm down, throwing her off balance, then stand there like an idiot and get smacked in the face, and it's Taylor's fault?ESPN had us down for two technicals. I remember the intentional call on Jones. Was there a second?

Post game press conference
Agreed. Amina was awesome tonight and the story should have been more about that rather than what the rest of the team didn’t do.I would prefer if Vic kept his negativity in the locker room rather than in the media room, but that might be a me thing. The whole “it’s on me” fell flat and insincere. He’s sitting there next to a young woman who just pulled down 15 rebounds, including 10 offensive and he could barely throw her a compliment. Maybe that’s the way to motivate, but I don’t like it playing out in public. Not saying it’s not true. But Jones seems to agree so what do I know?
One of Mwenentanda's turnovers was a travel call. The other was a poor decision to pass.As they say an ugly win is better than an ugly loss. Horrible officiating helped make it ugly, but most of the offensive fouls were legit. Just brain dead play.
One thing that stands out to me.
Min Played - Maul: 21 Nwennentunga - 4
Turnovers - Maul: 0 Nwennentunga - 2
Maul is the one that needs to play more. If you want more min then quit throwing the ball to the other team. Duh!

Feel free to join Ashley and the others who think that kind of tough love is corrosive to their mental health.3. The fact that Vic chews out his players in a Press Conference is fine. The players he has coached for more than 1 year knows this is his style, his "honesty" and if they didn't like it well then there's the transfer portal to your left.
4. He's willing to say in public what he says in private. That's transparency. Harsh and old school, but that's the way he's always been so why would we want him to fake it for their feelings? There's the transfer portal on your left.
It doesn't matter to me what type of turnover it is. The fact is she's over half way through her 2nd season and is not taking care of the ball. Her turnover ratio is over double that of Shay's. I would rather see more of Maul, and I'd also like to see enough of Codio to see what she can do.One of Mwenentanda's turnovers was a travel call. The other was a poor decision to pass.
You might be right. But referencing his salary was pretty gross. The whole thing was super negative. I’d prefer he kept that talk in the locker room. But that’s more on me than anything else. I know that the Genos, Mulkeys and the Pat Summits of the world do/did it too, so that’s probably the mark of a coach driven to succeed. But Pat was the only one that seemed to do it with a little grace. She was pretty clever about it too. Locked one of her teams out of the locker room. LolI don't have a problem with anything Vic said... the truth is what it is. We play ANY other team in the Big 12 other than an injury depleted Texas Tech (who had far less talent to begin with) with that lack of focus and poor effort, we would get embarrassed. At this point in the season what do you do as a coach to make players understand what they've worked so hard for, overcome so much for, and what they're playing for?
This type of effort makes me want to cancel flight and hotel reservations to KC. I can take a loss... but I can't take piss poor effort. What I saw last night was our super freshman having a bit of an off game, and her backcourt mates do pretty much nothing to pick up the slack for her. Instead, they got DESTROYED by the other team's two sophomore guards. Shivers and Maupin made them look like two birdbaths out there on the court. Good thing we had great effort from Muhammad and Jones (and Gaston) or it would've been a loss.
Call me harsh, call me unfair, get pissed at me all you want... just calling it like I see it. If that guard play does not improve its consistency it'll be a very early out for us in March.
Jaq has moments of greatness followed by moments of looking lost. Head scratcher. Maul might not have had turnovers, but she has a tendency to run into traffic and then throw the ball up hoping it reaches the basket. That said, I’m glad she’s getting more minutes. I think it will lead to good things from her.It doesn't matter to me what type of turnover it is. The fact is she's over half way through her 2nd season and is not taking care of the ball.

Very concerning considering we play @ UCF this weekend.It we can't guard this lame-a## team from the perimeter, we are toast this weekend again oU.
We are about to play a game in Jordana's home town. I really hope Vic finds a way to get her some minutes.It doesn't matter to me what type of turnover it is.

Speaking of the drama queen, it was nice to see her flame out again in her last appearance in Austin. The Senior PG played 23 min, had 0 pts, 1 asst. Missed both of her FTs too. All of that without having to be guarded by Rori. We really lucked out shedding that dead weight.Feel free to join Ashley and the others who think that kind of tough love is corrosive to their mental health.
