Texas vs Tx Tech, game 2

[cynt]

I noticed only 6 players played last night. Does anyone have any insight to why more players aren't playing? I'm aware of the injured players I'm referring to the rest of the bench. We still have several conference games and Big 2 tourny. That will wear out those 6 players.

Not a huge difference but actually seven played. AG and Cokie off the bench, plus the five starters. The only players available who did not get in the game were Kayla and Ro.

It was not a pretty game, but I came away smiling. It’s difficult to win a conference game with only three guards, and this makes back-to-back wins. More important, to me, the body language of the team seemed much better. They had some adversity but worked through it in a positive way.

I thought everyone made contributions, and don’t want to take away from that. But that was a great, great game from AT. Of course, now I expect that every time out…

I’m really impressed with the work that Chassidy is putting in to become more of a scorer and not just a shooter. She has shown a willingness to fight and create to get shots and this team needs that.

There is still a big hole to climb out of and the schedule is not going to be kind to them. I figure they need three of the last five and the only game they are likely to be favored is on the road. Hopefully they will get another guard back soon. I don’t think Chelsea was wearing a boot last night and I’ll take that as a good sign.

No question they need another guard back soon as AT and Chas each played 40 mins last night. But they handled it well and hopefully Chelsea, and perhaps even Tiffany will be back before long. Great win, though, and the crazy thing is if we win at KSU, we would be just a game out of 4th place in the league. And the squad/s in that fourth spot would be just a game ahead. That seems crazy considering we were in 9th just a couple of games ago, but that's the Big 12 for you. Agree that we've got some tough games left so we definitely need to get some more bodies available. Keep fighting, Horns, and we're behind you all the way!

I thought it rather stunning that there were 3 "bigs" in the game last night at the same time...Cokie, AG, and AM....big lineup...I think it was when Yvonne had to go out w her fouls...

I thought I saw Chas come off the floor for a few min, but everyone says she played 40, so I guess not...

Still do NOT understand not using KB or Ro at least a few min...
Ro came out after the half last night (shooting warm-up time) and hit 5 or 6 jump shots in a ROW...Every game I have seen her play in, she has scored in the first 10 seconds...(except the last one she played in where there was about 12 sec left at the end of the game)....

In any case, a W is a W...ugly or pretty, we need 'em ALL....

We really need to win out this Conf. (except Baylor, which will only happen if someone does a Tonya Harding on Griner...NOT that I wish it, just sayin')

I just recovered from my "Tech headache" from yelling and supporting the Longhorns durning this win on Wednesday. Not a pretty game, but a win. Since they are so hard to come by for us this year, I'm still proud of the team.
