Texas @ Notre Dame 12/05/2024

ACC/SEC Challenge... and what a challenge this game should be for us, especially on the home floor of the Irish after they dropped two consecutive games over the weekend. They'll definitely be playing like they have something to prove. We are going to have to be much better than we were against WVU.

Some Texas players seem to be having first half vs. second half games, i.e. Booker and Taylor. Would love to see them have consistent games throughout in order to defeat Notre Dame.

Did anyone else “leave” the West Virginia game happy about the win but really nervous about this squad? I mean what was that? We went almost 5 minutes without a basket at one point and still got the W. We’ve never been a good outside shooting team, but it seems even more off this year.

It was just a very weird game and now I need an ND win to calm me down about the coming season.

I'm thinking that if Hayley Van Lith can handle Hannah Hidalgo, Rori and Book certainly can. She said, hopefully.

I think we're struggling to find a flow because so many different combinations are being used. Eventually that rotation is going to have to tighten up a little bit for the sake of continuity. That happens... I think we'll be just fine.

A new poster inquiry: back in Austin after some time away. Used to join viewing parties at the Hitching Post on Burnet; I see that is gone. Is there a current local gathering place to watch the games? Would love to see the Notre Dame game with a crowd....

Glad to hear we played an ugly game against quality opponent and got the win. I'm glad I didn't see the game cause I'd be just like you. I'm pretty sure we will not go undefeated. I will be more than happy if we could remain a top 10 team through out this season

I will at least admit that the team’s difficulty containing Harrison and Quinnerly gave me some unpleasant flashbacks to last Spring’s game against NC State. And I couldn’t help but think things might get ugly going against Hidalgo and Miles. But I saw some things that encouraged me to think the team may be able to be much better by the end of the season if not sooner. Preston and Lee seem to be rapidly adapting. Lee seems to be ahead defensively. But I think her offense will come. Sure I wish the team shot the three better. That could be a difference maker playing more elite teams.
Edit. P.S. we won’t see many teams play the kind of relentless defense WVU does.
