This is going to be a tough game for us especially emotionally.

Yep. I felt even before the injury to Moore that this game was going to be tough. The only positive to the Moore injury is that UT has good depth at the position. And that Gaston has experience and has shown that she can be productive when she's not injured. Without Moore, Jones, and including the emotions, I think that Jackson St. will win.
 
Wasn’t it the case last year that the team had better focus on the road? If we stay out of foul trouble and limit turnovers should be able to win this game.

I can’t find that this game is going to be telecast not even on ESPN+ am I (hopefully) wrong?
 
It looks like JSU has a streaming service. If you go to the WBB schedule it has a "watch" button and it takes you to the JSU streaming site. Looks like there might be a PPV for $20.
 
I'm interested to see it play out, but we lost a LOT of physicality with Taylor and AMo's injury. The freshman forwards just don't have their strength yet.

I think we are going to need Hadi Faye to have a breakout performance to win this one.
 
I'm surprised we're playing at a place like JS. They are only 2-5, but have narrow loses to a couple of pretty good teams.

We can win, but Gaston and Faye had to hit those bunnies under the basket.

I think Hadi is capable. Hopefully the last game gave her some confidence that she can carry forward.

I think Hadi is more than capable, after all she showed it against us two years in a row.

Agree. When I said we needed a "breakout" performance, I was referring only to her results so far this year. If she plays FOR us the way she played against us, it will go a long way towards a favorable result.

We are doing it because Vic was so impressed by the way their coach and team performed in Austin last year. If you recall, he made a point to visit their locker room after the game to praise and encourage them.

Thanks for the info. I think I’m going to go the radio broadcast route for this one.

Remember it's an early game tomorrow midday.
 
If anyone has a Roku, you can go in and add Jackson State University to your list of channels, then go to the JSU channel and it will show the JSUvTX game and you follow the prompts, pay $20 for pay per view and HOPEFULLY it will stream the game on your TV with no problem. Fingers crossed
 
With the move to a different location, I wonder if it will get televised at all.

And this was supposed to be the "screaming kids" game that some schools like UT have once a year. I wonder if that is cancelled as well. Will be fairly empty arena, I think.

Thanks Racer for the update. This is kinda ridiculous. Where did they have us playing - some barn somewhere? I get that Vic wanted to go there out of respect for the opposing coach, but a TexasWBB game not even being televised? I think this should be the last time we do this.
 
I’m pretty sure Jackson St doesn’t play home games in a barn. It wasn’t that long ago the American Airlines Center was leaking during a Dallas Mavericks game. Things happen unfortunately. Maybe the game will still be broadcast. I plan to listen to the radio broadcast either way.

I think it’s significant and a positive thing that Texas is playing at a HBCU.

There were storms across the Southeast yesterday, perhaps that had something to do with the leak. I also think it's positive significance that we are playing a HBCU on the road, and I hope this will be a home-and-home that will continue for years to come. JSU plays a really good schedule so it doesn't really impact us negatively.
 
Gaston is going to have to learn to play smarter and cut down on the fouls. She is extremely talented but doesn't always make the best decisions. This is her third season with the program even though she sat out most of her first one.
