Sweet 16: Texas vs UCLA

dang, still just under five minutes to go. Horns need to retain composure and score.

 

great finish by Ariel!

 

Now keep your damn feet on their throats Horns!!!

 

Nice find by Celina and finish by Imani.

 

crap, where were our players on that miss?

 

okay, we are going to make FTs.

 

Let's go Brooke!!!

 

gotta make these, Brooke, Can't leave them an opening.

 

1-2 for Brooke. Now Empress misses the first. Makes the second. they are killing me.

 

bad foul by Imani. Canada had no shot there.

 

need two here, Empress. come on!

 

leaving the door open for UCLA with all those misses.

 

let's see what Imani can do.

 

OMG. Are we going to the Elite 8??????!?

 

another miss.
1-2 again. what the heck are they doing?

 

remember, these are some of our top FT shooters.

 

5 pt game. It is not over yet.

 

come on, Ariel. Nail the door shut.

 

yes, two of two!!

 

alright! come on, Brianna! FT throws.

 

awesome comeback, Horns! we win 72-64. Bring on UConn. Of course, we need to play a lot better from the get-go.

 

Everyone who said we were overrated can suck it!!!!!' We are in the Elite F'n 8!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm glad. Excellent step for the program. But....UCONN is ready. Just play and grow.

 

Congrats! Another step forward in the program under Coach Aston. Elite Eight baby!

 

Great win for the program! This team has nothing to lose, all the pressure is on Uconn. Just play free and relaxed and compete as well as they can.

 

Definitely a big step forward!!! Congrats ladies, coaches and of course...US fans!!!!

 

Billings and Canada with 20 pts each. 10 made FTs each accounted for half of their pts. Didn't shoot well from the field otherwise with Billings 5-12 and Canada 5-16.

Imani ended up with a double double (18 pts, 10 rebs) with Brooke adding 15 pts and Ariel 16 pts. Our bench added 15 pts (6 each from Kelsey and LaShann).

FTs: UCLA 24-32; Texas 15-20. both hit 75%.

Going to the Elite Eight!!

 

Even my 19 month old nephew was cheering and clapping with me when texas took the lead, Hook 'em!!

Now lets go give uconn a run for the money its march anything is possible.

 

The difference in the second half was that Imani played really well and the defense that Lashann played on Canada was great. Also, Coach Aston did a great job coaching in the second half and mixed in some zone.

 

Great effort and it sure felt like the calls went UCLA's way the whole game, so kudos to the players thru that added diversity. I saw frustration, but they played through it.
