Baylor @ Texas 02/27/2023

We need more from Gaston in the 4th quarter. Rori also got a little carried away in that last sequence. This is a game we cannot lose.
 
Pitiful. They play lights out for one game then roll over in the next. They are not even talking to each other - just jogging back snd forth taking poor shots. This group will not go very far in tournament.
 
The championship was in their hands and this…Only Rori and Jones are playing to win. This half players have looked progressively tentative on offense and lost on defense.
 
Amina is 4-16 for the past 5 games. She cant hit the side of barn. Between her and Hollie there is no offense on the floor. No sense of urgency we are down by 10 with 2 minutes and we still want to take all 30 seconds to take a bad shot. Every time we take a step forward we take 4 steps back. This season has gone so fast cause I have been waiting every week for us to look like that top 5 team and we just arent going to get there.
 
Amina just isn’t an offensive threat at all and doesn’t seem to have very good handles. Shay is either too scared or has been told not to shoot. Unless it’s a fast break or a corner three, we aren’t getting much. Even Rori isn’t a huge offensive threat. Soooo, if we can’t find run it through the bigs or get Deyona’s mid-range free, then we have to rely more on Shaylee. I wish there was some more offense ran for her. I really think she’d be up to that.

While this result sucks, can’t be too disappointed/surprised. Our shots weren’t falling. Theirs were. And our injuries are killer.

Win in Manhattan. Win the tourney and we’re a solid 3. (I actually think our second conference tourney game will be harder than any final if it stays true to standings.). Either way can’t see us jumping up to a 2. We don’t need to either. But, we don’t want to fall to a 4. I wouldn’t hate playing Indiana or Utah in the Sweet 16. But I don’t want to either!
 
Would really like to know why Sonya wasn’t in the arena tonight? My concern is she was trying to work her way back and had a relapse of some kind.

Oh, and I’ll say that even though it wasn’t perfect and there were a few head scratchers, I appreciated this ref crew letting them play. I think both teams benefitted from that.
 
Well, we've stunk it up tonight. Held Oklahoma's scorers in last game, but have made Baylor's freshman look like Caitlyn Clark. UCONN has played all year with a short bench, sorry Texas couldn't grit it out. Poor output by Gaston and Holle really hurt, and Amina was no positive addition to the game. Just a disappointing game.
 
Disappointed with the loss, but Baylor is a decent team so it's not a bad loss. They're also playing without their best shooter/scorer IMO in Morris. Without her they basically have to try to replace at least 10 points on a team that struggled to score and shoot the ball well even with Morris.

Speaking of bad loses, it's the bad loses on the road to lesser opponents in conf. that I feel will probably comeback to haunt this team. And playing K-State, a team that plays zone on the road looks to be another one of those bad loses.

The Senior Night ceremony was very touching - and terribly ill-timed. I’ve never seen that after a game (versus before) and it was painful to watch Vic and the team stand around for a half hour after a miserable beat down. Awful planning by someone.

At least Gaston had an excuse A she was hurt. Amina was pitiful.

When would be a good time to have a ceremony?
 
We felt the pressure of expectations. Out-shot, out-hustled, and out-coached. How many times did we force the ball inside to Jones and the double team? Pathetic
