Texas shot 51.5% against us in Austin (and still lost). Tonight they shot 34.1%. Holmes/McCarty/Atkins combined 10 for 43.

Looks like Fox College Sports will replay the game at 3am, 7am and 9am tomorrow. The Fox app doesn't archive replays like the ESPN app.

Yes you did and yes she will. That was a signature game for her and will go down in Baylor history. That ain't no freshman!

One turnover for Morris tonight. Playing against senior guards. That's pretty impressive.

I would have liked to have seen Morris at the point with Kristy at the two. I really think that would have been our ideal guard combo.

Poor Bowlsby, how it must hurt him to give us the trophy.
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.
Old Bowlsbutt is an idiot. Why don't we fire him and go hire Larry Scott?

The Pac 12 would give him to the Big 12 for free.

Now you have me worried. But I'll take him. Even if he is incompetent at least it will be someone different being incompetent.

yep he said that and yep he is an idiot
He also said he thought the conference had positioned itself very well for the NCAA tournament, failing to realize there is a good chance only two teams get in. He is completely useless.

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.

He has to say something positive of the conference as conference stability reflects on him

He's just a politician of sorts looking out for himself and trying to justify us keeping his uselessness

He's about the last person in the world you want fighting for you

Those are the most positive things I can say about him

Big momentum swing at the technical... good win Baylor
How ironic that Karen Ashton always bashes her players for not showing up, intimidated by us, etc. and she totally BLEW her own teams momentum. Without the T this would have down to the last minute. Cox is clutch. We will skate to the elite eight and then we are going to be going IF ONLY KW blah blah blah. If nothing else we need the depth. She said she still hasn't ruled out playing although I cannot imagine that scenario, but if she could just give us 8 quality minutes somehow someway it would be such a boost.

Again, thank you Karen Ashton. Morris definitely the PG of the future. Feeling really bad for Kristy. She has become the rallying point for this team. They all want to do it for her. And there is no team with a bigger chip on their shoulder than us after 4 straight elite eight losses. Gutsy performance all the way around although I thought before the game we would win, but not like this.

Of the 2005 NC game against USC? It's on an endless loop, I believe.
