Sweet 16 Game

We got this!

Even if we are to fall short, it is clear that KA has returned this program to a level where it is reasonable to have unreasonable expectations. And frankly I can think of no higher compliment to her, her staff and her players.

She has never brought in a kid who was an elite player, but was never going to be able to graduate and get a degree from the University of Texas. Very few sports, women's or men's, at any level can say that.

Our bar is high. It is clear her's is too, personally and professionally. While being as subtle and as much of as a gentleman as I can, neither she, or her program as it relates to the big picture, is in the shadow of anyone in, oh say, a 200 mile radius.

Now, with that said, HOOK EM HORNS!!!!

8:21 tipoff. Let's GO HORNS!!!

OMG, BU goes down!
I know I want the Big 12 to represent but this actually feels kinda of good.

And down goes Baylor

 

[BabHorn]

Alright, Horns, time to corral the Bruins.

 

[BabHorn]

geez, that was probably our worse half this year. The only thing that gives me hope is that UCLA was unable to draw away. 15 TOs! Numerous poor passes.
Second half has to be better.

 

[Bobcat]

It's been our achilles heel ALL YEAR.......no effective half court offense. Everybody knows it including the announcers. You can't run every possession. Unforced turnovers because we still don't know how to attack a zone consistently. SMH!!!

IIRC, we had a bad first half against UCLA in the 2016 sweet sixteen game. Ariel took the team on her back the second half. Hope she is ready to repeat that performance tonight in the second half!!!!

 

[HornView]

Yes, Ariel must catch on fire. She won’t end her Texas career this way...nor will Brook

For all of that we are still only down 8 and didn't play well at all. And the difference is actually that 7 point run in the first quarter as (playing as poorly as we did) we matched them 20 points to 20 points in the second. I actually think UCLA has played about as well as they could have thus far, and the Horns no where close to our best - yet still only down single digits. But we need to get back on track early in the 3rd, we don't want to dig a deeper hole, or have to play catch up the entire second half. Let's go Horns!!

 

[HornView]

Great start to the 3rd Qtr

 

[overseasbbfan1]

This yo-yo stuff is bad for my heart. Horns looked great and open the 3rd on a 14-4 run and then UCLA goes on a 10 point run. We gotta stop this back and forth nonsense and take care of business.

 

[BabHorn]

Heartbreaking way to end the season for our team.
Kudos to UCLA who answered every surge by the Horns with one of their own.

 

[HornView]

UCLA seniors were the #1 ranked class and this was expected but nothing can convince otherwise, Texas is the better team...if only they’d played like it.

So true... Achilles' heel all this season and the five prior as well. SMH
