Texas vs ISU, game 2

38-34 Texas with 15:53 to go.

Hang tough, Horns. Time for Chassidy to come to life. She's been good about having good second halves. ISU has Poppens on the bench with three fouls but Christofferson is hitting 3s.
 
Horns hanging on, 38-36 with 13:16 left to go.
Come on, Horns, bring it home.

40-38 ISU with 11:46 to go after a Prins jumper. ISU gets the ball back after a TO.

Let's go, Horns. Need a push here.
 
Christofferson with a 3 and Texas with a TO.
55-44 ISU.
Nneka with an offensive foul-a technical was called. Hope that was not on Nneka.
 
Now AG fouled out....this is OVER...just no offense...no shooting from Chas...and no one stepping up...well, AM just hit a jumper, but it's gonna be too little, too late!!

DAMN....

Horns gone cold. 61-47 ISU with 3:51 to go. Not looking good if the Horns can't get hot and get some stops to help.
Still have time, but not much.
 
70-51 ISU with with 1:20 to go. Horns will lose this one.
Horns still having trouble making shots on the road.
Good win for ISU.
Horns will have to regroup as they will likely have only 3 guards against KU Wednesday. It's going to be a tough road trip.
 
Tough to play w/ only 3 guards...but we just can't get a break, and can't really shoot...just very upsetting...

Final 71-56 ISU over Texas.
Just had our guards get tired with all those shots coming up short.

Time to get ready for KU Wed.
Go, Horns.

Fifth year so no excuses for this. Sometimes things just do not work out no matter how hard the school and the coach try.
 
No idea why she can't duplicate here what happened at Duke, but this is just pathetic. The problems go way beyond coaching, but they also definitely include coaching.
 
The biggest thing has been her error in having no Texas connections left when she swept the staff away...(except for Cathy Mac, who doesn't count).

She should have kept Travis or Clarissa or both....no Texas Connection = Lower recruiting #'s....a problem she NEVER had at Duke...

Part of it has been the awesome recruiting done in the last few years by Baylor and the Aggies...anyone who got Griner was going to be killing everyone...(I predict they are undefeated this year and win a NC) and we couldn't compete with our recruits, the best of which sat out last year, and is apparently not the same player this year...

I still think she is a good coach, she just didn't really get that she was a Yankee girl hittin' the Southwest's BEST Conference with a HUGE handicap to overcome..
I frankly think any other coach from the North would have accomplished the same, had they not kept the Texas Connection...

By year 5 you are what you are. Even with injuries, there should be enough in reserve to be better than NINTH in the Big 12. Yes, in 2010 the football team finished next to last, but that was after 1 MNC plus another appearence and 10 10 winning seasons - a little different.
 
So is she the Bob Weltlich of UT Women's basketball? That's who she reminds me of from a personality and performance perspective.
