It is interesting the perspective in these observations. Some folks see the progress that the team has made, particularly the FROSH, and yet others go the opposite ways.
Really interesting.

Who did the recruit for the referees in this game, the president and officers of the Longhorns' boosters club?
Texas played great
They also couldn't miss
UConn played poorly
A few unlucky breaks, too
Fourteen is a lot to make up, but some of that is going to go our way in the second half.

Well, that was about as bad as we might have feared. :-)
There's no tonic for improvement here but repetitions. UConn just has to watch the young ones get better. But the floor play of the vets wasn't great either.

Worst I’ve seen us play in awhile. Sloppy. Lousy shooting, rebounding and passing. Doesn’t make for a successful team. Even Ginger could dance better than that, right Roy?  |

I'm keeping an eye on the facial expressions of Husky coaching staff.

I think they can do it, TX is a great team with great coach, but Geno will make some adjustments as well. |

Texas came back to earth shooting wise in the second quarter. It was a 6 point game for a while. And then both teams stopped scoring. And eventually Texas started scoring again. Would you believe we actually had a better shooting percentage than them? They just had a million more attempts. |

I think we are better at home than we are on the road. So, I am looking forward to playing games in Connecticut.

Nika and Aubrey simply weren't in this game. It's one thing for TX to spy Paige and keep her from shooting. Aaliyah's played well and Ice is a freshman. Nika and Aubrey have to be more aggressive, more productive. Otherwise, Paige cannot be Paige.

Too many turnovers on terrible passes.

I don’t really know what adjustments he can make.
Try to get Paige more involved I guess. And that is about it.

I am happy to make it to the half. We have to cut down on turnovers and do better on the glass. We actually shot well. We need offensive contributions from Paige and Aubrey. I can see that ice isn’t ready. But she needs reps. I really like Ice's play tonight. Taking and hitting some nice shots. Her turnovers were the right play that just weren't executed very well. Harder to teach the ideas than it is to get timing, etc. just right. If anyone thought we'd see her have zero rookie mistakes ... that's an unreasonable expectation. Aaliyah - some tough breaks, tough calls ... Just needs to be tough in there and not get passive. Paige needs to be a bit more aggressive, but it is tough. They're covering her very tightly and others are not passing well enough to get the ball to her before the opportunity elapses. Aubrey is playing stellar D, but offering very little at the other end Nika only really burned once defensively, despite the call-outs here. |

Paige with only five points so far. They need a hot Paige in the second half.

I think we need her to play like Caitlin. I really do. 20 shot attempts a game as a goal.

Aaliyah's essentially unstoppable offensively. And our rebounding isn't even that bad.
It's the injuries to offensively productive players and some pretty sloppy floor play, which should come around as they get more reps together. But the production has to come from somewhere.

knock Paige to the floor? Recover the ball and score an easy layup? We call that TEXAS REFEREEING! Hook 'em.

I truly believe this team will improve with time, but right now they are embarrassing themselves.
