Hopefully we'll shake it off and play like we're capable. Tech is a real threat if we're not on top of our game, especially in Lubbock.
Yep. I see this being a very difficult game for Texas. Tech has good guard play but we all know that the PF for Tech will be the tough match up. If Ortiz, Gaston, Audrey, and maybe even Charlie can't match up with her it's going to be a long day. Especially if Texas continues it's trend of not shooting the ball well on the road.
Maybe I need to remove my burnt orange glasses. Tech has lost four in a row. They’re not a good team. Texas should win this one comfortably but I guess anything is possible. I wish Warren could play but we should be fine without her.
We have a few shooters to bust a zone, the problem is they aren't plentiful up and down our roster. If the few we have aren't shooting well, then there's not a CONSISTENT second line of arsenal to turn to.
Warren is playing today. She has been practicing the past couple of days and Vic said she will play regardless
I'm putting my momma hat on. I hope Warren's momma told her not to take any charges. Your brain baby is more important than you flopping on the floor and rattling your brain matter around in your skull. Continue playing your hard nose defense but skip the charges. It is not worth it.
Still so frustrating to see how many drives/layups we give up. And yet we can’t seem to get them for ourselves.
I think we’ve got great swarming defense but our one on one seems to be a little lacking. Maybe we overcommit which has high risk high reward but it seems like it either leads to a drive or pull-up jumper for the offense.
It's hard to get open layups in a zone. What Celeste Taylor and Warren are doing is how you break a zone down. Getting the ball to the free throw line or baseline will always make a zone collapse but we are just not making the right plays when we get it there.
Yeah this makes sense. I wish I’d see us being a little more effective at breaking down the zone and finishing at the rim instead of settling for a jumper. But I think most of our points are in the paint so what do I know.
Yeah, maybe we’re flopping a little bit. But annoyed at the lack of offensive fouls on Tech and yet they’re being called pretty regularly on us.
Our offense is anemic. And our defense isn’t making it hard enough. Back door cuts, penetration moves. And we’re fouling like crazy.
We settle too much for jumpers and yes even when we get to the rim we don't finish. If Texas can just get the ball to the baseline and have the post player drop it's a wide open layup everytime. Especially with this 1-3-1 defense they are running. It doesn't help that Allen-Taylor is passing up open 3 pointers. Collier needs to make her presence felt in the 2nd half if we want to win this game
I think you can handle it if your opponent is doing well or winning because they’re hitting incredible shots. That just isn’t what’s happening here.
Lord, having Warren back is beautiful. I JUST WISH she could finish a little better. But she’ll get there. Kind of wish we could see some of that Ebo-Collier combo like the other night.
Really wondering why Vic isn't playing Charli n Ebo together. Tech wouldn't be able to handle both of them. Or heck put in Gaston with Charli.
I’m not sure what the game plan is, but it’s not working. We are being selfish with the ball... not taking the extra pass... not getting ourselves into position to score. No leadership on the floor. Very frustrating
This game is very frustrating to watch. Lambert has got to step up and be a leader & Collier has got to finish at the rim!!! On the defensive side we need to stop gambling and going for steals that are not there. If it's there you will get it but it's leading to open jump shots
SMH! I Still can't understand why we don't have a high low with our 3 bigs. We would start practicing that once we landed in Austin. Go to class, homework, back to hi lo practice. Every day all day until they figured it out. Samething with breaking a zone. Samething back door cuts. Charli, Charli, Charli. 2 of 12. She's tall. That's it. She's tall.
We are NOT good enough to guard teams man to man. This is going to be a bottom of the conference finish if we don't just accept that. Tech is not that good and have taken us to the rim all game long. This team is immature and can't shoot on the road for some reason. Vic's lack of strategy is pretty sad in this game.
