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


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


I think Cox has possessed a superior skill set in high school but no where near the athleticism. And now the more athletic girls have improved their skills.

Can't recall a half of basketball as bad as I just saw from the Lady Bears

We are playing like your average girls basketball team where layups are 50/50 odds of flying off the backboard. Absolutely embarrassing. Is UT that good?

Sans Brown, Lady Bears shot 3/22 in their first half. 13.6%.

Need some guard play.

That was bordeline unwatchable. For those of us who don't watch a lot of WBB it is unlikely to drive is to watch more of it.

Mulkey has brought us the quality of girls basketball that is worth watching. That wasn't it.

Here's to hoping the girls come out with a fire lit under their asses

Not at all.

Is there a valid reason Brown doesn't get the and-one calls on all these shots?

Texas is a better team than we are right now and they want it more. Same story in Waco. We aren't playing hungry, and Alexis Jones has been playing like crap lately.

Don't know our history on cancer days. Do we tend to under-perform on pink night?

UT clearly kicks off their foot -- Horns ball, of course ...

I hate to say it but this is a whole lot bigger problem than just losing this game now. With Alexis Jones out this could likely does mean we won't be winning the Big 12 Conference tournament and probably won't get very far in the NCAAs unless she gets back and it's only a minor tweak. But given that she's had two surgeries on each knee I have a feeling this is going to be the end of her career if she's not just extremely lucky. Damn shame considering how good we were two-thirds of the way through this year and now we're just an also ran potentially. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Oklahoma kick our butts in Norman at the end of the season. But hey maybe if we have some time to adjust Landrum can be a serviceable point guard but she sure it isn't going to be the threat that Jones was.

We have had more than our fair share of knee injuries to guards late in the season over the years. Hope it is not serious this time.

Lady Bears are moving better on defense and running on offense.

Cut the 11 point deficit to 4

Wallace has to start playing better perimeter defense on McCarty.

Lady Bears looking better though.

41-37 Texas

Hopefully the Jones injury isn't bad and she gets to rest and get healthy for the NCAAs

Kim Mulkey should have gone after a PG last year. Wallace is killing us

With the post halftime defensive effort, we do have a chance.

Keep feeding Brown.

Always seems like it. Kryptonite must be pink.

Can we just make a big donation and quit wearing the pink?
