West Virginia has only lost one home game this season, the conference opener to Oklahoma

 

Even though the preview released by UT athletics says Saturday, the game is actually tomorrow, Feb. 1

 

Today, I am primarily concerned for safe travel for the team.

 

They’re in route.

Get in. Get the win. Get out. And hopefully none of you take up smoking and poor dental hygiene while visiting!

 

And especially Meth!

 

Hoping to see a focused and locked-in Longhorns squad this evening.

 

This winter storm sucks. Hope I get my Internet back before tipoff!

 

I cannot go forward with this game without your exuberant prediction of the outcome.

Also . . . !!!!!!!TEXAS!!!!!!!

 

I have no internet either, can someone give score updates every so often?

 

Thank you to whoever can help us!!

 

Texas leads 19-14 after first quarter.

 

Lackadaisical first quarter...

 

Holle and Gaston both have two fouls at end of first quarter.

Gonzales and Gaston have five points each.

Six turnovers for Texas.

 

We were also close to running away with that first Qtr. Then my cable went out and now I see they cut it to 5. Gonna be choppy night. Hopefully the team responds better than my cable signal.

 

This is literally like trying to stream with an old dial-up signal.

 

Faye just picked up her second foul.

Texas leads 24-14 with 7:30 left in second.

 

Here we go with the whistles being blown on practically every possession.

 

Faye can't catch a break. Another foul call where I didn't see her do anything. We're up 24-14 with 6 min left in 2nd. Missing way too many shots or this would be a blowout.

 

Texas 24-16 with 4:14 left in second.

 

31-22 at half. We are shooting poorly, refs are calling touch fouls on both teams - very annoying.we should blow them out …

 

Gosh, I hate these kind of games.
Foul happy refs have changed the face of the game. Tough defensive game, but only 3-9 at the line. Rori's the absolute worst at the line, no excuse for it. She doesn't look like she's frustrated by it, but she should be. Perhaps she should try bouncing the ball a few times instead of just throwing it up there. We Need Those 6 Points!

 

Here we go with more “phantom” fouls.

 

Dreadful game, a parade of fouls and turnovers. Sonya hit 3-s to keep us ahead. Everyone else missing everything. 43-32 with 5 min in q3

Broadcasters are saying nice things about Texas

 

46-34

3:41 3rd

 

Every time they cut it to 9, the homer play-by-play guy says "and it's a 3 possession game." Really bro? You think we ain't defending 3's? So then Sonya hits a 3 and now I guess its a 4 possession game with 3 1/2 left in the 3rd.

 

48-43

46.2

 

End of 3rd

48-45
