How is the relationship with Kim and Aston?
Like with Coale? Or civil like with ISU coach

I had heard Mulkey's relationship with the UT coach is similar to Coale's if not worse.

It should be mostly full, ie 9000+

It will be a busy night with all that is planned -
Stripe Ferrell with green or gold shirts on your seats, also giving out glowing light up wristbands for the "Where Lights Shine Bright" promo, plus they are honoring/remembering Chameka Scott in a pre-game ceremony.

So far 2 missed walks and 1 missed over the back on UT under their basket.

Wallace has a couple of careless turnovers early. Needs to settle and then wear McCarty down. Would be fun to post her up in the high post

Thankful Bear

I am so nervous. Can feel my heart beating. Really want a win. Opening lights looked great on tv.

We need for Morris to have the ball running the offense. Time to move Wallace to the 2 and let Morris run the show.

Looks good on TV. playing hard but silly turnovers perhaps a bit nervous. Man those UT guards have quick hands.
