Final Four: Texas vs. South Carolina Game Thread

[CJ Vogel]

Texas outscored 20–9 in the 3Q.

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.  

[Jeff Howe]

End of 3: South Carolina 58, Texas 44

[Bevo92]

Rory Harmon needs to stop shooting.   She’s way off tonight/.  Jordan Lee and Maddie Booker need to get hot in 4th just to keep it close.   Frustrating third quarter. 

[texcoyote15]

Vic needs to look close in the portal for anything that can help. He’s got a good base roster coming back. 

[Class of 04]

SC is putting belt to ass right now. We can't buy a bucket or a stop.

This is Schaefer’s ceiling unless he has a modern day offense.  Dawn Staley is his Kirby Smart

[Jeff Howe]

South Carolina 61, Texas 48 — 7:24 to go, 4Q

[Jeff Howe]

South Carolina is on a 6-0 run and leads by 16, 64-48. Texas is 5-for-18 from the field in the second half.

[HookemTexas]

Not to make excuses, but to be fair to Vic, two of his planned scoring threats for this year both went down with season ending injuries.

A Moore two years in a row didn’t play the post season.

Preston over Holle

[Jeff Howe]

It was great to see the program under Vic Schaefer get over the hump and into the Final Four. Here's to a reload and making another run at the big prize next season.

[Jeff Howe]

South Carolina 69, Texas 52 — 2:52 to go, 4Q

[texcoyote15]

We’ve got a good team, but we’ve got to alot better if we want to win one.  Tonight shows you where you want to be. 

[Jeff Howe]

Texas is 7-for-27 shooting the ball in the second half.

[NothinButDaHorns34]

Seems like south caorlina is going to be vic’s version of sarks georgia issue year in and out. 

[CJ Vogel]

Heck of a season, and heck of a team.

Nothing to hold your head about on a Final Four run. 

[Jeff Howe]

FINAL: South Carolina 74, Texas 57

The Longhorns end the 2024-25 season with a 35-4 record.

[GoHorns1]

South Carolina is much deeper than Texas.

[HookedOnTF]

Wish the Monterrey gal wanted to associate herself with the home state flagship instead of mobilehoma. 

Defense by itself doesn't win championships, and the theme across sports right now seems to be that offense does. Explosives in football. HRs in baseball. 3s in basketball.

Having 3 out of 4 losses to the same team stings. Gotta knock them off of the hill. Next up OU softball, then Georgia football. 

(I don't count Tennessee baseball in that dynasty tier but they also look to be firmly planted)

[qaertyisthatdude]

Olivia Miles, come on down and give Texas some juice offensively!

[Howie4514]

One of the worst officiating game I’ve seen in a while. Cahill this one up and move onto next season. 

[WG Carter]

Coach Vic and these players gave us some great games this year. Hope we can get to next step---but grateful to this coach and these players

[texcoyote15]

They have relied on Booker to do most of the scoring.  When she got in foul trouble it was going to get bad.  Most teams have doubled and triple team the post when the ball comes in there and they throw up a weak shot or turn it over.  Teams didn’t have to worry about Texas shooting 3 pointers that much.  Lee looks like she’ll be able to score.  Vic needs to get some more if they come up in the portal.  Great season but need to get better to reach the top.
