Texas vs San Diego State

it would have been nice to go into conference undefeated....but i do think it's good that they got a wake-up call now. no worries, though. they'll bounce back. and i wouldn't mind if they went undefeated at home

only 2 undefeated teams that come to mind are Texas in '86

and UConn in '02.
 
TN had one too though....don't remember the year, and i'm still not doing the google!!!

TX will bounce back. I have no doubt. The more time that passes, the more i think this loss will be a good thing.
 
oh right, can't forget tenn. they went undefeated with 'the meeks'...can't remember the year though. for some reason the one that sticks out most is when tenn won the championship with 10 losses on the season.
 
Yes I would rather lose now than later and yes this should definitely put some fire under them and continue to teach them that every possession counts. You can't take plays off.

Like someone else said I didn't think we would go undefeated but I was hoping we would start the season undefeated. But it's all good. This will be good film for them to watch and learn. I still say Eirka and Britt we need you to fight and get open and keep looking for your shot. Erika scored 4 and Britt 5. Come ladies we believe in you. Keep shooting! O, and I'm still waiting for Erika to have another breakout game.
 
Seven free throws for the entire game? Did anyone drive to the basket or did we settle for jumpers all night?
 
Geez, tough loss. A sloppy one, too. Still, one they had a chance to pull out but they lost track of players a couple of times allowing easy FGs when they really needed stops. Lindsey, Carla and Brit had five TOs apiece. That’s rather uncharacteristic. Earnie had the second most FG attempts for the game, really uncharacteristic. Ten assists for the game with Carla only getting two is definitely not moving the ball around to find the open shot. The 3pt shooting was not there this game. But it hasn’t been there before. What was surprising was the inability to get to the FT line in this game. As well as the Horns shoot FTs, if they get to the line, they win this game. SDSU is a very good team with a couple of outstanding guards. Looks like they kept the Horns from penetrating. Someone mentioned that they were a second tier team. Sorry, but I don’t buy that. They may not be ranked but they have a strong shot at being in the NCAAs. They don’t have the depth of Texas but this night, that was not a factor with four starters playing 34 plus minutes each and the other 25 minutes due to foul trouble. As for TOs, 23 is way too many, but before this game, they were averaging 16.5 a game, after this game, they are up to 17.1. Not great and plenty of room to improve but not a disaster when they were forcing 20.9 TOs before this game and forced 19 to fall to an average of 20.8 TOs forced.

Seems like the team just wasn’t clicking together this game. This may have been their worst game offensively this season. They had trouble covering the 3 but otherwise were very tough to score against. There is a lot of stuff for the coaches to talk about. But the Horns are 11-1 with a home game against Lamar before starting Big 12 play. I will be surprised if the team drops out of the top 10.
 
Welcome back BabHorn!!! We missed U!!!

The Horns seemed to have no teamwork in this game. Normally, Coach G can get a group of 5 on the court to "gel" together, but this game just was not going to happen. It was almost obvious from the get-go. We should not have lost this game, but.....

hopefully, as i and everyone else stated, maybe this loss won't be so bad...!!??????
 
btw. FIRST here to post in 2009! Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new year for the Horns as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
