    One area of improvement for Vic's team is the foul rate. It's not uncommon for his aggressive defensive style of play to generate more foul calls than most and freshman are always whistle magnets but the Longhorns already have 4 players averaging over 3 fouls a game:
    • PF DeYona Gaston - 1 foul every 5.2 minutes
    • F Amina Muhammad - 1 foul every 6.1 minutes (freshman)
    • PF Aaliyah Moore - 1 foul every 6.9 minutes
    • W Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda - 1 foul every 7.1 minutes (freshman)

    Due to the canine/kennel cough outbreak raging in DFW right now, I couldn't board my dog this weekend for the South Florida and Southern games. Anyone want 2 free tickets in good seats, DM me. Here's the view from my seats:

    I sent you a pm. I'm going tonight. USF should be some good competition.

    So you live in DFW and you have season tickets? That's commitment.

    Since I live in the Houston area, there's no way I could go to even half the games if I had season tickets.

    For next season, I'd be interested in splitting season tickets with someone.

    I think several of us from the Dallas area have season tickets and I know for me, I have to be selective on the out of conference games I attend, so this one was on my list to see. I try to attend all conference games.

    Before I contracted (long) Covid I could drive to Austin, see the game and drive back to Dallas on the same day/night. Now I have to stay overnight and pay for a hotel which has really added to the cost. The season tickets are by far the cheapest thing about it compared to gas, lodging and parking for each game.
    I just have to shake my head about the locals complaining about game times and traffic issues keeping them at home. Try driving a round trip between Dallas and Austin on the perpetual nightmare that is I-35 and get back to me with your lame excuses why you can’t go to games that might take up 3 to 4 hours of your time with hardly any expense involved.

    I knew I wouldn't make every game but thought I'd be able to get to Austin for quite a few and I'd just make the games I couldn't attend available to get butts in seats. Unfortunately, Dutch got kennel cough when I boarded him while on vacation a few weeks ago so I had to quarantine him (couldn't make the Princeton game) and then the same illness closed the boarding facility and wrecked this weekend's games.

    Ok Taylor came out with the team just before lineups are announced. Clearly not playing tonight in sweats and wearing her glasses

    Our transition defense is just bad. No other way to put it. As soon as the press is broken we just look lost.

    Add turnovers. Really was hoping that Holle was going to ba a positive factor this year. Not so much yet.

    So far, they are eating us alive in transition. If the press is not helping, why not adjust to the situation, take the press off, and get downcourt?

    I think they’ll be better in the second half on both ends, including transitionally on D.

    Face guard Puisis with Holle or Morris, get Aaliyah involved inside (No fouls yet), get the ball into the post where we have a large advantage.

    STOP TAKING midrange shots 5 seconds into the **** clock! Especially Aaliyah, Sonya and Gaston, no more fade away off 1 foot shots from Sonya, and work the shot clock for a good shot.

    Vic will prepare them well and have a great game plan second half.

    Roris shot looks terrific.

    LOT of game left to play

    We got knocked in the mouth the first half. It's time to make defensive adjustments and SCORE, SCORE, SCORE! And put a body on #3 puisis. She's killing us with 18 points. Face guard her. Our press isn't working. What else do we have defensively?

    Rori please stop flopping and taking charges. NOT WORTH IT! You're a great player and we need you on the floor not on the bench in concussion protocol. Use that energy to score the basket.

    We're obviously missing Taylor and the early start plus VB game screwed up attendance, but none of that is an excuse. We shouldn't be down like this to USF. Their FG% is 20% higher than ours right now, so lets hope that changes in the 2nd. That's the diff. in the game.

    RORI face guarding Puisis, great adjustment by Vic!! Thought we might need her defending the ball handler but if Morris can handle it we can do this.

    Tsineke and their best post player 3 fouls each. Attack them!
    Rori keep face guarding Puisis, Morris Faceguard Tsineke. Shut down the 3ball.
