Let's go! The roster is coming together well. Could use either another big body or a traditional PG that can shoot and defend.

Booker getting into foul trouble altered everything. Her rhythm was gone after that and our team defense was a mess having to try to protect her from getting her 4th foul. That game look nothing like the basketball Texas plays particularly on the defensive side. SC was getting open looks everywhere. The refs called why more bump fouls on us than on SC. SC were manhandling Oldacre and grabbing Madi a lot on the screens with no calls. Overall, it was crazy obvious today how much more talented and deep SC is than we are. We need more talented combo players. Missing out on Chavez really hurts. Crump has potential but still needs development particularly defensively. Lee was great today though. You can see a possible star there when she has that green light of confidence and looking for her shot. Her confidence dropped later in the game but when she's confident, she gets buckets. Preston needs a better midrange shot given how they play back on her. She'll figure out how where to get shots in the pace of the game. I really think Vic needs to push tempo with Preston at the point though. It's a waste of her speed running half court all day when she's faster than everyone on the court. We could use a few more easy buckets too. Watching Texas run the break sometimes is frustrating. They have the worst spacing when it comes to the break. PG not running middle and 2 bigs running down the middle instead. We blew a 3 on1 early in this game because of spacing and it happens at least once a game. You can tell they don't practice it as much as they probably should. Just like the men, we need more skilled bigs. Taylor and Oldacre got the job done against all the lesser teams but got manhandled every time we played SC bigs. We don't need much better but we do need more skilled and athletic bigs like you saw from Edwards, Dauda, and Kitt. We only had 3 that could play legit PF/C. All in all, the future is bright and Vic maxed out this team so hard to complain about much but just wished we would have looked like ourselves a bit more of the game today. Pick up a could nice bigs and a 3 pt shooter in the portal and we're good. Great season ladies!

What a game!! 4 quarters of focused and suffocating defense. The way they switch and pass off on defense is elite and allows us to challenge every shot. We're still missing a few too many bunnies. We're going to need all those buckets to get some revenge on South Carolina. But gratz to Vic and the girls. First final four in 22 years ... definitely something to be proud of.

Not surprised given OU can give her PT immediately and their offense fits her better than Vic's. It's a bummer we put so much effort into trying to get her but we'll be fine with our Aaliyah. Crump will fit well into our 3/4 position and create space with her outside shooting ability. We just need to find a big and more outside shooting in the portal. I think Chavez would have created some tough decisions for Vic especially if Harmon/Preston are back next year. Defensively, she is not even close to the level that we play at Texas. Her gift is that quick release and shot making but she'll have to get a little stronger physically to be able to score efficiently in the SEC. It'll be fun watching Harmon and Preston try to shut her down next year.

Given what was at stake, coming out without defensive intensity for the first 30 mins was disappointing. Have you noticed every team has had their highest FG% of the season playing us. It's a recurring theme at this point. They need a boost somewhere. If Chendall Weaver can come back, maybe that's the energy boost and momentum changing plays they need to stay competitive for longer in these games. Right now, nobody except Tre at times is can make those kind of momentum changers.

Barron might end top 15 in this draft. His interviews were great and his football IQ might be the highest of everyone in this draft. His versatility is one of the best too.

Ok great to hear. I must have just missed when he was on. I just saw Sorrells 40 and Alfred's field drills.

RT has had 2 seasons now with building and coaching his own team. There's been a clear decline in the results year to year. The criticism is fair at this point. RT is a good guy and I'm sure he's been good for the guys off the court. But his issue is building a winning roster and figuring out the identity and maximizing the roster he has. RT is a defensive specialist yet our roster has been built with more 1 dimensional offensive minded players in key roles. How does building a team where your best player is Max Abmas and even Tre Johnson this year aligned with RT's strength which is defense? How do compete in the SEC without having a starting caliber big man? We've been the smaller team in every SEC game this year. That's a roster building issue. Don't get me wrong, RT gets the guys to play hard but there has to be more if you want to succeed in the SEC. The loss of Chendall Weaver and his energy and momentum changing plays this entire SEC schedule has hurt the team more than people realize. I hope we can still make the tournament but it's clear RT is not the right coach to raise the standard of Texas basketball to a higher bar than we've ever had. Good enough won't cut it anymore.

Committee should pick #1 seed based on recency all things being equal. Texas is clearly playing better than SC right in the last 5-6 games. It's a big deal not getting the #1 seed and picking the site of the first games.

Sorrell had a nice 40 time but I feel like he and Alfred were barely talked about or shown in the media highlights. Did Sorrell do the on field drills because I never saw it?

I've seen a few videos now on Jayden Daniel's VR training he's been using since LSU and how he's talked about how it's helped him be the QB he is today. I believe LSU has started to use it with all of their QBs recently too. Does Milwee and staff have any tools like that for our QBs? I think it would be super useful for the QBs to be able to see 1st POV customized variations of defenses without needing 21 other guys to simulate it. This should only get better with AI improvements.

Not much to choose from right now in terms of a legit big that can defend and rebound with the best. Petraitis was nothing special to me. Any new faces we’re going after?

RT wasn't a good fit for Mitchell. RT just never trusted him enough and thus slowed his development. Hopefully he'll land somewhere that can help him get to the next level.

Why do we even have NLIs anymore? Pretty disappointing since Cam is a really good player.

Please yes. No more sign stealing.
