I don’t see that. I think they’ll play better but I don’t see any way that they can beat UCONN.Now watch. They’ll probably turn around and beat UConn because the one thing this team does consistently is play inconsistently
It looks like we will not even be a no. 1 seed in the big 12 tourney. Tonight was a loss, but the team has looked awful the last 2 or 3 games. They have had to come from behind to beat much less talented teams while Baylor rolls those same teams.Don't want to be negative, but have to be a realist. This team is not beating UConn based on how we've played recently, especially with no help from the freshmen "shooters".
And, if we don't win all our remaining Big 12 games, including the Big 12 tourney championship, we can kiss a #1 national seed goodbye. Just didn't do enough in non-conference to slip up against a conference team like TCU.
Great coaches and great teams don’t lose to teams like TCU. This is what separates Baylor from Texas in the Big 12. I would be shocked if Baylor dropped a game like this - Kim won’t stand for it. Neither should Karen.
Maddening.
So you are comparing an NCAA tournament loss to a conference loss to a weak team?
12/30 was not NCAA. And that year OSU was 21-10So you are comparing an NCAA tournament loss to a conference loss to a weak team?
Just heard on the radio that Rellah didn’t make the trip due to “Coaches’ Decision”. They had no other information.
If I recall correctly, wasn't that a 20+ win OK State team that made the tournament?
Why do our post players get blocked so often?

So YES, I am comparing.
Oh, I WILLLet me know when TCU makes the tournament.
Holmes is basically playing her way into condition, but barely because she isn't getting minutes.
I think Coach Washington mentioned that she was in much better shape physically than he was expecting when she was allowed to practice with the team. I think the issue is being "banged around" with arms and bodies playing near the hoop - that's the issue.One would think conditioning and being in playing shape would have been foremost on Joyner's mind while away from the team.
I get your point, but you are exaggerating. We will be a #1 seed in conference tourney if we win out; we control our own destiny. Not saying we are playing well enough to do it, but lots of games to be played.It looks like we will not even be a no. 1 seed in the big 12 tourney. Tonight was a loss, but the team has looked awful the last 2 or 3 games. They have had to come from behind to beat much less talented teams while Baylor rolls those same teams.

That was the only conference game they loss that year. Also starting point guard Niya Johnson the nation's leading assist leader did not play.So you are comparing an NCAA tournament loss to a conference loss to a weak team?
I’m sure Coach Aston knows all of these things and it’s her responsibility to address and correct these issues. It’s been the same issues since she’s been at Texas.Anger Fact: We really have 10 - 2 [Destiny, Rellah] = 8 McDonald's All Americans at our disposal.
Anger Question: Do some of these questions ever get posed directly to the coaches? I never make it to the pre-game, where I know the coaches will stand up and ask for questions. This year, I haven't made it to the post-game. I know it's VERBOTEN to stand up and asking insulting questions like, "Coach, everyone knows they just have to throw a 2-3 zone at the Horns. What are going to do about it?" Has anyone attended any of those Q&A sessions and asked:
1) are you practicing to beat the 2-3 zone?
2) why do you not call timeouts to cool down runs by the other team?
3) isn't switching players in-and-out killing the momentum during games?
4) ....all the other gripes we had.....
I guess you can ask these questions in a highly modified manner that is non-insulting....anyone heard these questions asked of the coaches?
1) Coach, I know you realize that teams know to throw the 2-3 on you. How's the work against that defense going?
2) Coach, are you letting the players work it out to gain experience rather than call a timeout during games when the other team is on a roll?
3) Coach, what factors do you consider when inserting a player when we're on a roll?
I was hoping this thread would diffuse my anger, but it has not.
That is the pattern I am concerned about. My other main point is that this team needs to get Joyner Holmes back in the starting lineup. She is the player that is a match up nightmare. Our opponents have to collapse on her with leaves a wide open 3 after the kick out. That aspect has been missing this year. That is why Brittany has a low percentage on her threes. If they don't collapse Holmes scores inside because no one has a player that matches up one on one.We started out very slow
