Making way to much money for his 🤬 Nevermind I’ll stop

Amazing ... love it! This is the NIL "team" battle many coaches face today IMO

Haha

She had a bad matchup and she didn't look like she had the normal Rory energy tonight. It's been a long 2 weeks of tough games so it might have caught up to her given how much she put into the other games. She'll be back with vengeance if we face them again.

She wasn't guarding Galvan outside of a few switches. It was Lee getting juked by her and Blakes owning Rory. Just weird we matched up like that.

Coach Schaefer and the women's basketball program are basically in the same spot that football is with Coach Sark and softball was with Coach White before he won it all last year. They seem so close, but there's something that might be holding them back from reaching the top of the mountain. Schaefer has a lot of talent coming in from high school and international recruiting over the next few years, so you would think he will get it done at some point. It seems like he's open to recruiting players that can shoot the three at a good percentage, so that will help space the floor and allow his frontcourt more room to operate. As for the remainder of this season, hopefully a loss like this a turning point that propels this team for another deep tourney run. How this team responds in Knoxville on Sunday will tell us about the ceiling of this team this season.

This has been simple for a while. Consider us the 35-40th best team in the nation (a lot of advanced ratings have us around there). That itself is close to getting in at large. Not a lock, admittedly. But close. What is a lock is getting to 9 SEC wins (and even 8 is 50/50 odds IMO, projecting from where we are now) If we just play to "chalk" the rest of the season against those rankings, we get there easy. We have shown the ability to "play down" and that Miss St. loss still hurts, but we also have the ability to "play up" and beat almost anybody (except Florida IMO). So call it a wash if we lose one we shouldn't and win one we shouldn't. A LOT of evidence at this point says we are between 35-40 nationally... just be who we are — a frustrating but tantalizing team who averages out to around 35-40th in the nation — and beat who we're supposed to beat on the rest of our schedule (according to those advanced rankings) and we get to the magic number of SEC wins to get that tourney bid. Since about 4-5 weeks ago, when the rankings really started to stabilize and we've gotten to know who the rest of our scheduled teams are, I haven't understood the doom and gloom that says we won't make the tournament. I'm 75% sure we will🤘

I've got my eye on Burns and Higgins. Burns is the "pro-style closer" option with top shelf electricity in that arm. But he had control/command and mental toughness issues last year; we'll see how he's grown there. Higgins is more the "college-style closer" option... and has some similarities to Volantis as a composed lefty who is better than his stuff would indicate. Higgins has also gotten some recent preseason honors recognition, which tells me those outlets think he's gonna be our closer (rare for a middle reliever / stopper to get preseason first team picks). We can quibble about whether we have a top-end starter to match up eye-to-eye with the Casan Evans, Hunter Elliots, Gabe Gaeckles, Cam Flukeys, and Dax Whitneys of our title competitors (we don't IMO), but we have as much if not more pitching depth than anyone! It's up to Schloss and Weiner to strategize to our strengths.

I'm disappointed in that performance. I don't think Vic and the coaching staff did a good job preparing the team for the game. We made some adjustments at half to spread it out and go inside to success but starting the game we had bad matchups on defense. Putting Rory on Blakes and Lee on Galvan didn't make sense to be me and they took advantage. It would have been better to put Lee on Blakes and Rory on Galvan give then the size and quickness matching up much better. We stayed that way much longer than we should. Later Preston and Maddie guarding the 2 stars with Sidberry playing PF was better in the second half but the damage had already been done. Also the refs were vastly favoring Vandy. They had 3x the FT we had which was ridiculous. Blakes and Galvan are special players but we didn't play like Texas today. We never really recovered from their first punch out of the gate. The attention to detail on defense and the focus on offense was not there at all in the 1st half. Way too many open shots and missed bunnies which is very unlike us. Rory looked tired today. It's been a tough schedule the last 2 weeks so just chalk it up to a bad game. We can beat them in a rematch on a neutral site.

Love that they win but I am not a fan of the style of play.

She was playing horribly getting her butt kicked by Galvan.

Any word on Harmon sitting second half ? Just poor play?

Still a butt kicking. 86-70 Vandy.

We made it respectable with our bench. I think Aaliyah should replace Lee in the starting lineup.

It’s “Gigolo” and he offers a critical service for UT athletics staff members who need intensity release.

Flood definitely mismanaged the interior by NOT going to the portal for the best available, But he’s seemed to have changed that philosophy this offseason and he’s for sure earned some grace here. NO first round picks from the offensive line for over twenty years before flood got here.

11-0 Texas run rule after 5, final

is that a 2 year flood

What does it say when Harmon and Lee are on the bench.

Coach Vic is very stubborn. He never sits Booker. It's obvious she isn't doing anything.

Booker is a mess.

Here are Muschamp's contract details:

Ouch. Barring a miracle, this one is gonna hurt. Probably knock us out of a potential 1-seed in the tournament as well.

Here are the changes to Nansen's contract:
