Just now, Jeff Howe said:

That minus-13 with Booker off the court hurts.

Still within one score heading into half is great with the run So Car just went on

[Jeff Howe]

Jordan Lee's 10 points off the bench have been huge.

[Jarveaux]

Refs appear to be very liberal calling fouls on Texas .

[goattalk100]

South Carolina is tough with their depth. Lee’s production was huge off the bench. Need someone else to step up in the 2nd half to have a chance.

[Jeff Howe]

That bucket by Booker is the first Texas field goal since a Taylor Jones basket at the 3:32 mark of the second quarter.

[Jeff Howe]

South Carolina 43, Texas 37 — 8:25 to go, 3Q

[Jeff Howe]

I'm apologizing now for baseball posts getting into the hoops thread.

[CJ Vogel]

Texas is running out of gas here. Too many offensive boards allowed. 

[Jeff Howe]

South Carolina 49, Texas 41 — 3:55 to go, 3Q

I fear we might be cooked.  8 points is a lot to overcome for our offense against this good of a team.  

[burntoc]

The fix was in when they saddled Maddie with 2 ticky tack fouls in the first half, in addition to the one earned foul. #changemymind #hookem

This might get ugly. Texas down 52–41 with 3:00 left in 3Q.

Feels like it’s going in wrong direction fast.   Hope they can turn momentum around. 🙏🏼

[Jeff Howe]

Texas is 3-for-10 from the field in the third quarter.

[pinkman_90]

There’s always talk in basketball about passing up a good shot for a better shot.  Vic’s offense a lot of the time is “pass up a good shot for a crazy contested, way worse shot at a closer range”

[Jeff Howe]

South Carolina is on a 7-0 run. The Longhorns are in the midst of a 3:01 scoring drought and a 1-for-7 shooting slump.

[Paul L]

Welp, great season but that got ugly.  

[John Moore]

Transition D is brutal tonight 

[HudGar1922]

it was a good season by the ladies.  just aren’t at South carolinas level.   got to recruit shooters 

[Jeff Howe]

South Carolina is on an 11-0 run. A forgettable (and likely decisive) third quarter for Texas.

[Jeff Howe]

Jordan Lee stops the bleeding. 

[Jeff Howe]

Texas shot 4-for-14 from the field in the third quarter.

[CJ Vogel]

Texas outscored 20–9 in the 3Q. 

[pinkman_90]

Vic needs to make some tweaks to get over the hump.  Let’s keep the 90s basketball defensive effort but maybe update the offensive side to at least the 2000s.  2020s would be ideal.
