Didn't watch the game live because I'm at the Houston Rodeo but just saw the score. WOW, I love this team so much. So much adversity but still pushing through it. This game will prove to be so invaluable for the youngsters as they really haven't had this much pressure on them yet. CONGRATS TO THESE WONDERFUL LADY BEARS

Wahooooooo. But we haven't beaten anyone. Havne't played any top teams. but wasn't Texas picked to win everything. Weren't they ranked way ahead of us. Didn't they almost take down UCONN?

But they had some horrible losses: an overrated Tennessee. TCU.

Holmes better get to work now for the next season.

P.S. Texas. We'll take Cox. Holmes is yours.

I'll be honest, I thought Alexis Morris was the most valuable player, given the situation into which she had to step. No knock on Brown, without whom the team is not where it is. Both are phenomenal!

I think when the announcers were interviewing him, he said our other 2 games against UT were pretty close (score wise). Did anyone else hear that? I thought he must not really watch the womens basketball.

Very satisfying, well deserved! The kids did indeed play well.

Horn fans giving CKM a hard time for throwing shade (had to look that up) at the half time interview, but I love it that she's calls out all the hype. AT the beginning of the season and pre season we just heard how loaded Texas was with 10 MCd's AA's and how it was their year...

You tell 'em Kim.

That's what Aston told him.
