Cox is so frustrating. I really expected more from her. Holmes was the clear #1 in the class imho.


Cox appears slow and out of shape.

How was that a jump ball and not a foul. Same thing happened the precious play and was a foul on Wallace. Bs.

Jones needs to follow through on her lay-ups attempts. She might accidentally draw a foul if she would drive in and actually get a good shot off.

Seems like something changed with the team. Used to be when there was a scrambled for the ball, we'd come up with it 7 out of 10 times. We protected the ball. Passes were crisp. We owned the boards.

Not any more. They seem a lot more 'beatable ' now. Injuries? Fatigue? Come on Bears, let's figure this out! You can do it!!

We need to play a lot better so that lady with the horrific high pitch scream shuts up. Or I just have to turn the sound off.

This is a terrible showing thus far. I expected us to be hyped but UT looks so much better than us in terms of talent and effort. Layups are supposed to at least hit the rim once on a miss. I confess to not watching much girls ball this year so where does this team stand in comparison to recent years teams? Not as talented? Just young?

Did something happen with Alexis Jones? She was amazing at one point scoring at will and then all of a sudden she started to struggle. That's when I feel like as a team we started to play poorly.

Two painful misses on the inside

We are lucky not to be down by 14 instead of four.

While Texas is playing excellent defense, 10 turnovers is ridiculous.

Way too many layups missed
Media Bear

Tentative. Tight. Not letting the game come to them at all.

Playing like they're afraid to make a mistake ...

Somebody other than Brown has to score.

I'm curious to know why Mulkey doesn't play Bea and Brown at the same time...
Media Bear

Brown playing well -- carrying us so far.

See if Chou can create a spark...

Yep. We should run the offense thru her
BaylorBears_254

Please bench Cox and play Bea with Brown! This lineup is not cutting it Mulkey
FWBear

Absolutely no game outside of 5 feet.
Media Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If anyone -- anyone -- besides Brown would get involved in the offense, this would be a different ballgame.
Bruingirl

Surprised KK hasn't come in yet. She subbed in Cohen instead which is ok, I really like her as a player off the bench.

brown shooting 4/5. Rest of their team 2/15. Joke.
FWBear

Dribbling under the basket and traveling. What in the world?
Media Bear

Holmes kid is way better than Cox. Not even funny ...
burg0047

2/17

Honestly...Mulkey is getting out coached. Her rotations are horrible. Jones has been horrible. Cox should be benched. Davis is too small. And we still haven't used the lineup of Bea and Brown together.
Lawbear

Only have watched a couple of Lady Bears games this year. Do we still not have effective three point shooters? Seems like that has been the missing ingredient the last several years.

frustrating game. Brown is the only Bear producing.

UT has improved but not near as much as we have regressed. The fact that Alexis Jones is not in there tells me that she is hurt or in the dog house.
Media Bear

Fall away shot off a double team. Brick.

Texas takes it on the break. Easy bucket.

Agreed. I really don't know how Cox was even #1. Maybe she will end with the better career, but Cox is nowhere near her level
Media Bear

Bad news. Alexis Jones out w knee injury and unlikely to return.
BaylorBears_254
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Finally Mulkey goes with the Bea/Brown combination...and Jones is hurt
Media Bear

Horns have gotten 2-3 "shooters rolls" already tonight. Like off the back of the iron, straight up -- and in.
