Gaston was not available to play tonight. The announcers referred to her and Celeste not being available. I assume injuries for both.
Injury, not serious, but she will not play tonight...What's wrong with her???
Audrey just took an elbow to the throat and gets called for the foul...more Big 12 officiating bullsh*t!!
Nooooooooo.......there is another reason.....There has to be a reason Gaston is not playing. I'm going to assume a first half suspension. There is no other reason for her not to be playing
The most outrageous call was Audrey taking an elbow to the throat and being called for a foul. I also see that the women have adopted the off-arm-bar as they dribble...maddening. Drake did a great impression of the Princeton men's offense...all those uncontested layups off back cuts. Won't see that offense in the Big 12.
- How long does Ashley have to wear that facemask? Cause it's really crimping her game
- Ahhh, that's what Ebo brings to the game, great touch after receiving the ball. So many years of our bigs receiving the ball and for some insane reason having to dribble the ball once before they were willing to shoot. Catch and shoot, love that about Ebo
- But Ebo not the greatest passer
- For sure, tonight showed that Charlie not mean to be a Post. Not that she asked to be, and I know it was for the team. But I kept thing "Why can't Charlie get free and closer to the basket?" And then I see Ebo forcing her way into the paint in order to receive the ball. Body mass and strength.
- Doesn't it seem that every game Texas enters a 2-5 minute scoreless drought in the second half?
- Mind boggling how many consecutive free throws we made until the first miss
- Love the message to the guards to DRIVE TO THE BASKET
- But didn't love the free, unguarded baskets given up on defense. Whose got that one?!
- I know that Charlie was frustrated, didn't realize that she was in tears until I saw the reply on TV. Not sure if they showed it, but after play resumed on that long timeout where they were looking at the monitors, Vic walked over to Charlie's chair and spent some time talking to her
- 16 steals, definite emphasis on more harassment of the players. Loved the several pokes of the ball out of the hands of the other side
- I guess the Big 12 has an edict about watching for flopping, but to the detriment of true charges. Two players with their arms straight up and not moving called for blocking?
- Only one shoe stomp from Vic tonight
Especially against overplaying man-to-man defense.I wish we would see back cuts in our offense...they're very effective!
I'm not going to stir up yet another hornet's nest questioning Charli's skill or pro prospects. I think that this experiment with her at true post shows that she's a true PF. Looking back she had Joyner to pair with her and really Joyner was the muscle that did the work in the paint to take the load off of Charli having to be there. And two years before it was Joyner and Jatarie sharing that load allowing Charli to be free from the scrum underneath the bucket. Oh yeah, there was that true freshman named Sedona Prince that was the obvious future Post for Texas. [Cough, Cough]Ebo definitely brings the muscle we need in the paint and has great hands and a nice soft touch around the basket. The thrill that I got out if her first offensive rebound and putback!... She's a beast on the boards and I love the authority that rebounds with.
Charli is definitely a great talent with a huge upside, but much better served at the power forward position. What we tend to forget is that she's only six games into her most important and formative season -- the junior season. The struggles we're seeing from her, both physically and mentally, are growing pains.
As talented as Charli is I think it's definitely in her best interest, in terms of continued physical and psychological development, to stick around all four years and continue to get the valuable and needed experience. I sure hope she stays. Having said that, the choice is hers to make and Coach Vic and his staff will put a winning product on the floor regardless.
If you get a chance to rewatch the game, you’ll see we had a few of those on our end as well. Not nearly as many as Drake who clearly thrives on it.I wish we would see back cuts in our offense...they're very effective!
This is what happens when she’s doubled every game. The narrative becomes what you and your counterparts are saying. Egbo wasn’t doubled. And guards are definitely free to roam because there is one less man on defense. I’d say Charli is a great decoy right now so our guards can score and our other bigs can go one on one. It’s funny that y’all fall for the narrative presented when she is down low and doubled. Maybe she should smile next time while 2-3 defenders only target her and handle it with grace. Lol. Bad refs don’t help either. But.... it’s a blog and that’s what we do.... analyze based on ?. So actually it opened up around the 4th after Charli asked to be moved around. She was told to stay down low and get banged up so people like y’all can analyze her frustration. And so you can see her try to score while struggling to get the ball. And to get blocked out by 2 people on all rebounds. Yep.. that’s exactly what you saw. But neither of you, maybe a few said she should be moved out to add dimension to our team and to add more versatility. All we need is for her to be doubled so guards can dribble drive. Just take it Charli. You can’t look like this is easy for you so you better stay longer to learn to take it and be the best doubled post in this life. Yep that was the tears you saw. And obviously hitting outside jumpers opened up some opportunities for the high low you mentioned during the 4th qtr. Now that can only get better. I told you earlier, they are trying to create this narrative so she shouldn’t look like top 5, she should stay, ... and all of what you guys are saying. It’s actually all good, at least we know they have SUPPORTIVE fans . Y’all really do entertain your selves with these kids lives.Ebo definitely brings the muscle we need in the paint and has great hands and a nice soft touch around the basket.

One things for sure Jennie Baranczyk is a really good coach. If not for getting Vic she should've been at the top of the list. I suspect she'll be at a top P5 program soon.
I guess Audry has to get clubbed in the head to get a foul called. That was absolute BS. Vic should've called timeout and had the refs review it for an intentional foul.
I still don't know why everyone thinks Charli is a top 5 WNBA draft choice. She misses so many easy bunnies standing under the basket I keep looking for Enemkpali on the back of her jersey. It looks to be like Ebo has better touch under the basket and is a better rebounder too. Maybe on potential, but not results. And as we know, potential just means you haven't done anything yet.
“To help take the load off Charli”. What load? She averaged a double double last year. She had more rebounds than Joyner? What do you mean? She did what was expected of her and more.... lololololI'm not going to stir up yet another hornet's nest questioning Charli's skill or pro prospects. I think that this experiment with her at true post shows that she's a true PF.

Anyways, gonna need a healthy Ebo for the entire season to take the heat off of Charli so she can work concentrate on her strength as a scorer.
Sure you’d like to see 100% of all shots made. Have you checked the players field goal percentage. I’ll just stop addressing this ignorance. Opponents do understand that if she goes one on one down low.... it’s a rap! You do know that right!One things for sure Jennie Baranczyk is a really good coach. If not for getting Vic she should've been at the top of the list. I suspect she'll be at a top P5 program soon.
