Texas at Baylor 02/14/21

The lack of a plan is on the coaches. The inability to make a shot - I do not know how we got in this position. Since they are calling fouls on defense when the offense powers through, we need to drive much more than we are.
 
Is it to late to get Rori & Kyndall to enroll early:( our guards simply don't want to play today. Baylor is not doing anything special in this game. They have 33 points and some due to the amount of free throws they are shooting so defense is not what's bad. We simply look like we don't want to be there and it's frustrating to watch the team come out like that in a big game like this:brickwall:
That's the bottom line. Vic's system depends heavily on good guard play. Was echoed at halftime. There is a talent gap at the moment. Who of our guards would Baylor take?
What im disappointed in us all the missed open looks and turnovers.
 
We just lack aggressive guards and wings. That would free up Collier. Everybody else play scare too me. Next year can't come fast enough.
 
I don't see a lack of a plan, I see a team not rising to the occasion... players not handling the moment, beginning with the leader.

Chevalier needs to get in the game. She brings that spark and energy that we are desperately lacking
While I agree she plays hard, she brings literally nothing on the offensive end. At this point, let's see what she can do. Fact is....our guards are just not very good......AT ALL. Celeste has missed open look after open look and Joanne Taylor is just throwing up bricks left and right. We simply do not have good guards.

We just can't shoot to save oyr

True but to be fair nobody is bringing anything on the offensive end. She can't do any worse then what we are currently seeing.
 
Through three quarters of play, our guards have shot 7 for 36. Repeat performance of what we saw in Stillwater. Post players have not imposed themselves AT ALL.
 
Of the players that got away this off season Benzan is the one that hurts bad.
You are correct. I had no idea she was that good until I saw her numbers at Maryland and she is an absolute sharp shooter. Something we desperately need. Now Vic sees that I know he will address that in the off-season.
 
Just a huge talent and size gap.
Exactly. Anybody thought we'd be a top 10 team because we got Vic was dreaming.
New coach, very litte pre season practise time, has never had a full roster and what depth he has is quite frankly not all that good.

He is addressing the talent gap and has a nice class this year and will be better next year when he can actually visit recruits.
The thing that really irks me is the poor shooting and our turnovers.
 
As woeful as the offense has played, defense hasn’t been bad.
This is a game the team learns from. And then we beat Baylor in Austin March 1.

Texas has the talent. We are no way a top 10 team but we have the talent to make it competitive with any team in the country. We are just very inconsistent. We have games like Iowa state where we play full on ready then we have games like this where we can't put together a full game. Our Defense will show up then our offense will dissappear or vice versa. It's just too inconsistent and Texas doesn't have a floor leader who steps up and talks to get this team going.
 
We have no hope against really good teams unless Joanne and Celeste are hitting baskets well. Today their shooting has been ... well. Celeste is a scrappy, athletic player, but really doesn't have a natural shooting touch, at least not lately. Reminds me of Joyner in that respect. I wish they'd stop talking about Charli being the #1 draft prospect. It's embarrassing. From today's game, that should be Nylissa Smith. They are both good players, but honestly I've always thought Nylissa was a little better. It's interesting that Iowa State knows how to play Baylor, and we beat ISU twice. It's got to be partly psychological, but ISU's excellent zone and excellent 3-point shooting are probably the main difference. Those are 2 things we don't have at all. We can't play worse than this. It will be interesting to see if we can give them any kind of a game in Austin.

I guess on a given night we can play with alot of teams, but as far as competing against elite teams.....no....we do not have the talent to compete. It's just not there. Our guards are so inconsistent. I expected more, but it is painfully obvious we just don't have it.... Vic simply does not have the athletes to play the style he has been so successful with....
 
I just do not understand our lack of offense. I mean, these girls have been playing since they were kids. Hope we get 30 points, but that is pretty dismal. So sad, that we are so inconsistent you never know what team is going to show up.

As much as I think the 3 freshman next year will help significantly, we are in need of an upperclassman transfer or two with size. And yes...I don’t think either JUCO player will be an early contributor.
 
Collier looks checked out. I have never seen her look like this even as a freshman. She struggles alot with the mental aspect of her game. Once she gets frustrated she let's that take over her entire game.
