These freshmen are special. They have poise and no fear who will help fill in when others are having an off night.

Wonder if its time to insert her as a starter full time.

IMO... absolutely.

6 scoring in double digits and two players having a double double is better than a number one scorer in my book. And speaking of Book, she always comes thru when we need her. We’ve won back to back with her in a funk which is the actual story here. A couple of games ago we were scratching our heads about Rori and Amo. Book is averaging 16 ppg (team leader) with 6 rebs and 3 assists. It’s not like she has fallen apart. Other teams focus on her and someone or several ones step up. It’s all good. We are averaging 91 ppg with 4 players averaging double digits - remarkable.

Yep... Book will be there when we need her. She's bound to break out at any moment, and she's allowed an off game here and there just like anybody else. My observation was that she just seemed a little unfocused the last couple of games.

Texas is:

#1 Net Ranking

#4 Scoring Offense

#2 Bench points

#2 Field Goal Percentage

#2 Free Throw Attempts per game

And Rori Harmon is #5 in assists

And just to poke the bear… the top 5 teams in the nation (including us) are not in the top 25 teams for three point shooting. And 4 of the top 5 aren’t even in the top 50 for threes.

After Booker's first 3-point game back in November, she came back with 5 games over her average. She has not done so this time. Instead, she's 5 games under her average. The game announcers indicated that this might be because she's now on top of the scouting list. Whatever the reason, I hope she figures things out soon.

Post game presser is FINALLY available... I don't get what takes so long, especially after a home game.

I get it if she is being denied her shot. But she is missing wide open looks.
Andrea Lloyd kept saying that Booker plays better with the ball.
Maybe her and Harmon can split
" pg" duties ?
This will be interesting going forward.

And conversely, I think Rori would shoot the ball better from deep if she were able to spot up and be the beneficiary of one of Booker's great passes. Honestly, I'm surprised we have not seen more of Rori and Booker splitting the duties like Hidalgo and Miles at Notre Dame.

Loved Vic saying "Jordan's green light is blinking!" Don't hear him cheering much about scoring.

Lee is impressive. Yes…every three pointer looks like it’s dead center. Schaefer realizes it too. Impressed with everything about her. Defense, handle, decision making, personality, interviewing, basketball IQ, etc. I think the best comment she had was saying that she understood the offense is inside-out and she was ready to shoot the three if it was there. I never get the sense she is forcing a shot. I get the sense that she is seeing the floor and everything on it and is processing the information for the correct play. I don’t care if she starts or not….she’s a 25-30 minute player going forward.

That there needs to be time between games is truly annoying. Bring on Bama.
