They were able to persevere and put the game away.

'The Eyes of Texas', does it every time.
No true Texan dislike that song.
If they had won you would have heard Mulder crowing all the way to Florida.Florda_mike said:

In typical ESPN fashion, once the commentators realized the Lady Cows were going to lose, they talked about just about EVERY other team besides Baylor.

For all their faults, ESPN couldn't stop gushing over Kristy tonight.
Biggest surprise of the night?Onward Go said:
Lost my voice -- just got home from game -- looking forward to reading this thread. Somebody might have already mentioned it, but it seems like Texas' only play was the McCarty push then shoot. If the refs had called it, she wouldn't have had half of her points.
No surprise at all if you stop to think about it.whitetrash said:Biggest surprise of the night?Onward Go said:

Was expecting many more UT fans.
Too much excitement for my blood praising the opponent for taking the lead.Mulder said:

So exciting. As one Austin writer pointed out, UT led for a total of 15 seconds between the two games. By my math, that gives us 79:45 of lead time, including when it counts.ScottS said:Too much excitement for my blood praising the opponent for taking the lead.Mulder said:
