Can't miss those FTs and then give up a wide open three. Terrible.

Played hard and battled and then had a terrible last minute. Boo.

Nina misses 2 free throws that would make it a 2 point game then Texas hits a 3 for a 5 point swing. Geez.

Texas is full of theater majors! Buncha actresses. Or, marketing majors--selling those fouls.

Dumb play by Wallace after huge 3 from Horns (after 2 big FT misses from Davis). Five point swing there at end of quarter.

Seems like every contested shot near the basket results in someone getting slapped

Amazing it's still close. If we pull this out ...


Agreed. The type of mistakes we have made , especially on the road , usually translates to a double digit deficit.

Brown, though, is the best player on the court tonight and our D was much better in the second half. To win, someone besides Brown is also going to have to become a scoring threat.

We only need to double our score in the 4th quarter to hit our season scoring average!

Y'all bagging on Cox earlier need to see she's coming into form still after missing the summer.

I fully believe until Kim changes her philosophy to recruit more players who are better shooters her teams will have an elite 8 ceiling.

Should have been BU ball. She was sitting on the line before the timeout

Texas player was sitting on the end line and they give her a timeout.

Didn't know you could call a time out while out of bounds. Jeez.

A zone buster shooter with our bigs would be really effective.

Not sure if it was Brown, but she didn't block out the shooter and cost BU a possession. TX timeout, thought TX player was sitting out of bounds but surely ref would have called that.

And she lost a shoe out of bounds and her foot landed on the line before sitting on it

Until a few weeks ago Jones was the lights out shooter we needed. I have to wonder if her knee might have been affecting her before today.

Any maybe there was a bit more to that "rest" that Kim have her for a few games before conference play started.

As crappy as that first half was (not to mention a key injury), a LOT of fight shown by the Lady Bears to get things back to a tie game at this point.
