Yeah. I don't see an officiating conspiracy.I thought he was fine and Vic seems to like him.
I sure hope so!Yes. She seemed okay. I didn’t notice anything unusual.
I saw the opposite w VicI thought he was fine and Vic seems to like him.
Jones? I like her a lot. Has great ball handling under the hoop. Odd they call her a forward.It was interesting to hear Ford yelling "give me the ball!" many times. We could hear it from the opposite end. She did have a back issue and had an ice pack on it at the end of the game. My memory might not be great but she is a big inside presence we haven't had for a while. She keeps the ball high in the air, doesn't try to dribble, and passes out if she's double or triple covered.

If Jones is a forward, there ARE no posts.Jones? I like her a lot. Has great ball handling under the hoop. Odd they call her a forward.
Vic is probably happy they held Princeton to 17 points below their average.
Have to say Gonzalez and Morris don't look as quick and athletic as I was hoping, but Jones is a little better than I was expecting.Hard to tell how much of that was good defense since Princeton looked really slow and awkward on offense.
Honestly we didn't look great either. I don't want to whine much about a 25 point win, but compared to last year we just don't look as much like fluid athletes. Even a lot of the same players don't seem to have the same physique, athletic instincts, etc. Hopefully just early rustiness?
Not trying to be negative, just was honestly surprised as I was watching how much we didn't look like an Elite Eight team.
Yes, and lacking the quickness we had with JAT and Matharu is a bit of an impediment to the dribble-drive offense. Still scratching my head as to why JAT didn't utilize that extra year of eligibility.Have to say Gonzalez and Morris don't look as quick and athletic as I was hoping

Don’t know why she was in Austin but in the video she says she’s been friends with Coach Wisdom-Hylton since they were 11.Yes, I saw her at the game. Anyone know why she is in Austin?
Good points. Difficult to pinpoint a cause, but I can only assume that the staff is even more aware of the team chemistry that has to evolve.Hard to tell how much of that was good defense since Princeton looked really slow and awkward on offense.

We are integrating a lot of new players. I hope this is not the norm, but perhaps it will be. Vic is playing the freshmen a lot. How much will we see them as the intensity increases? They seem to be really good fits for his system. I think Shay is feeling pressure being one of the returners. Yes, we don't look like an Elite-8 team, but when has a Vic team peaked in November? Players will continue learning the system and we'll get better. Jones is a great addition and the team will get better at finding her. I'm feeling good about where we're headed. Only concern is that right now, we cannot lose Rori.
Well, actually we were "so reliant" on Rori all of last season. The difference was we had JAT, a person familiar with Vic's system, pick up the slack when Rori needed a breather or got into foul trouble. Now we have Shaylee as backup and so far she still seems to be struggling to get comfortable and find her place. While some players really excel at new challenges, I think Shaylee has been set back by it all. In the last game, I was ready for her to fire off lots of shots and live up to all the scoring stats while not playing point, but it didn't happen.Being so reliant on Rori is scary indeed. Let’s hope she stays healthy.
