Texas Game Recap

[GameTime]

They got 27 foul shots to our 11. You wonder how that happens in a basketball game since they were banging as hard as we were. Second they outscored us 18 to 12 from the 3 point line.
This is two stats you have to win to beat top ten teams. We did outrebound them 45 to 41.
We got up 16 more shots than they did and shot an ugly 21 for 69. Take Diamond off and you got 12 for 47 which is about 26 percent for the rest of the team. That can't happen and it is up to Holly to figure out an offense where it never happens again. If only three players on the team take all the shots you can't have 8 players shooting 25 percent total while one player shoots 41.

Yeah, but we beat them in the number of missed lay ups....No one can miss em like us....We're number 1.

Yes, missed layups is on the players.... but we need some semblance of an offensive scheme..... and need to be more sound and polished in the fundamentals of the game.

And, cikou is being kind because he is not pointing out all the losses to ND, USC and Maryland the last few years.

Right. I was intentionally only looking at the first half of the season just to give a semblance on the consistent performances we've seen the last 4 years. Unfortunately until or unless something positive changes, the second half will likely look similar in terms of not making it to the final 4.

This is the third thread started about today's loss and how sorry the coaches are.

Which poster will start thread number four on the same subjects?

Get over it, unless you are paying for the bandwidth.

Is it true Holly went to Chattanooga today to watch UConn play?

Please forget the Celtics of old. That's part of Holly's problem: she's stuck too far in the past. If she wanted to better serve her team with a modern example of how to move on offense, pass the ball and score (in bunches), look no further than the Golden State Warriors. The ladies can even watch in glorious HD, what a concept.

We don't have a Steph Curry (who does?), but we do have a dynamic playmaker in Diamond DeShields and once Te'a settles down and gets Holly's advice out of her head, she has the potential to possess a great handle. Her shooting will come around eventually. She proved her ability in the first game when she was performing off pure instinct, not antiquated coaching.

Same thing my husband said.
