Two notes of interest to Texas fans in the Dave Campbell article...
Stock Up: Texas
Seven wins in a row for the Longhorns, who moved up to ninth in this week's poll. Per
Across The Timeline, it's the first time back in the top 10 for the team since the Nov. 26, 2018 poll.
The team opened Big 12 play against Oklahoma State, winning 62-51 behind a pair of 14-point performances from Joanne Allen-Taylor and Aubrey Warren.
Something I liked to see about that game: how many minutes Kyndall Hunter got. She started! And while her shot was off as she went 1-for-7 from the floor, it's good to see Hunter getting minutes. I'm a big fan of her game.
Stock Up: UTSA
The Roadrunners were never going to be "good," but something I wanted to see in Karen Aston's first season was strides.
Well, she's already doubled the team's win total from last year. And won a conference game already, beating UAB 68-60.
Jadyn Pimental had 21 point in the win, going 8-for-25 from the floor. The Lamar transfer has seen some big disparities in her playing time this season, but she's scored 20-plus points in three of her last five games.
I was worried Aston was going to struggle to get good players to San Antonio after how the team has looked in recent years. But she's brought in some good transfer and has given this program something it was lacking: direction.
