Texas @ Auburn 01/16/2025

Wow, Booker with 19 points at half! Hope she stays consistent in scoring more games than not! Texas really took off after slow start. I'm most proud of their free throw shooting. Nothing like teams of old.

To me the color guy sounds like Floyd the Barber on the Andy Griffith show.

Joe Ciampi – Women's Basketball Hall of Fame

The color guy is Joe Ciampi, coached at Auburn in the 80s
and is a member of the women's hall of fame. His teams were ranked in the top 10, competitive with LaTech, Virginia, Tennessee ... name is pronounced Champ-y. We/Jody beat him several times, as I recall.

Kudos to the announcers for not going for the false narrative about the foul disparity against the home team. Many times they said “that’s an easy call to make” when Auburn has fouled

Thanks for the insight. Serious question though: is there any WBB coach from the 80s NOT in the Women’s Hall of Fame? :yes:

70's and 80's were the pioneering days of womens collegiate basketball. Makes sense that most of those pioneers would be in the hall.

Meh...this was a win against a bad team. That is all.
As mentioned. Gaston is good this year.

I agree with you. It was great to get a win, but the game was outright sloppy at times, too many turnovers, etc. Texas actually let Auburn look respectful at times. At stated above, Texas should have won by at least 30! Hopefully, they were saving all their energy for Maryland.
 
I'll be interested to see the presser, and Vic's thoughts on this game. Personally, I'd be happy with the W and the play of Rori, Booker, and Jones but not pleased with my bench nor the fact that we got nothing from our 4 spot. The freshman were definitely freshman tonight.

Team free throw shooting was freaking outstanding!! It's a road win. Now get back and prepare for Maryland... we're going to have to play much better all next week than we played in these last two games.

I enjoy any conference win and particularly a road one. This one was expected but there was a time not too many years ago where games like this weren’t a given so I’m going to enjoy the moment. Good win for our ladies. Good for Booker and Harmon and Jones. Historic win for Holle. We’re 17-2. But you do you. :beertoast:

Gaston was good last year too. Just my opinion.
:hookem:

Solid win, no doubt. On the one hand it seems that the youngsters don't get enough playing time. And then, on the other, when they're in... As a coach, the easy part is running the veterans out there. The tricky part is how to integrate the youngsters so they're ready when needed. The game definitely gets a bit ragged when they are in. And, what's going on with Jack?
 
Yep. This team remains enigmatic to me. Carlton looked like a pro a few weeks ago and tonight looked like a freshman. Lee is a sharp shooter and then a no shooter. Booker is up. Booker is down. Booker is up…. Oldacre had 2 points tonight. I don’t get it, but we’re 17-2 having only lost on the road against #2 and #3 and I still think we can take both of those teams in Austin. But they’re a mystery indeed.

It’s always good to win, especially those games you are supposed to. The ladies did just that. Just think if Texas had not won this one how the know it all forum coaches would be howling. It must be nice to have all the answers to fix what might be wrong. Oh well, it is what it is.

Congrats on the victory.

Still lots to be improved on... but that's how our season usually goes. We have a tendency to get better and better the deeper we go into the season. Looking forward to seeing what this team looks like in March. I think we'll all be pleased.

I like to look at it this way: the team now has enough talented depth that when a player or two has an off night, others will step up and fill the void and make us competitive. It's an enigma for sure, but a nice one to have I think.
 
Carlton played 15 minutes and Lee 12. Preston only got 3 minutes but I’m assuming 3 TO’s in 3 minutes had something to do with that. Off night for her. I thought maybe Vic was trying to give Oldacre some rest as she has carried the load several times including when Taylor had to sit out a game or two.

Any conference win on the road is a good win especially in the SEC.

Well, your stance is definitely what we all hope for except it didn't happen against SC. That was a total collapse of a game if I ever saw one and only one player scored in double figures. Hope it was an anomaly and that our mutual desired scenario happens the rest of the season!:thumbup:

"Total Collapse" is a bit strong. Fundamentally, we were competitive. We just couldn't shoot worth a damn.

This family has accomplished much for the Texas Longhorns. Her dad was one stud Defensive End on our 1983 football team (probably our best football defense ever). And now Shay becomes our all-time winningest basketball player!
