Couldn't agree more. Since conference play started, she looks flat-footed, slow, and unsure of herself. Guess all those nonconference blowouts lulled her into a false sense of big girl basketball confidence. Hopes she says, "oh, I get this now," and moves on to great things.

High School to college is a big transition. Each player makes it at their own pace. Give her some grace - she'll get there.
 
So, anyone love the announcers? Sounded to me like they were reading from Cliff's notes. From the very beginning, where they stated that this was a competition between two high-scoring teams. Not a remote reference to Texas' defensive abilities. I think it slowly dawned on them, as the game progressed, that Texas could play some defense.
 
Ok, sorry, one more. I agree with the comments about Jak. She has stayed with the program, and you could always see her potential. This was her best game as a Longhorn.
 
Yes the announcers didn’t sound very informed about Texas to me either. Don’t think either one thought Texas could win. As the game went on, the play by play guy became a real believer however. He started really laying it on thick sometimes almost in disbelief about Texas’s “suffocating defense”. If he said it once, he said it 100 times “Texas started this game on a 19-5 run”. He was absolutely in awe of Texas midrange game (as he should have been it was practically a master class).

The lady doing color talked many times about Madison’s game looking a lot like KD, but I must have missed where she acknowledged that was not a fluke and Madison is a big KD fan and tailored her game to match his in many ways. You would have thought a color analyst might have mentioned it a few times if you’re going to keep bringing it up.
