Is the box score right? We attempted only one 3 ball all game?

Had almost 2x as many turnovers. We won tonight and that's great but this is a very one dimensional Mulkey team.

Lol if there were any UT fans who did not already hate Mulkey, they do now after that interview. Love it

Nothing better than dealing the Longhorns a massive dose of disappointment on their home floor for what is likely the conference title.

I don't think they have indicated how severe it was - at least I never heard any details. It appeared she tweaked her knee early in the 2nd quarter.

I would have paid good money to have a Rhule Cam side screen shot during the second half!

I just spoke with my mother who went to the game via the bear foundation bus. She said one of the other older ladies was in the restroom after the game and a UT lady hit her with her purse.

I'm glad Mulkey is ours because I can't imagine how much I would hate her if she wasn't. But she is ours and lives rent free in UT's collective mind and I love her.

Now that is a reason to have a bathroom law.

When they played in Waco, we were out rebounded by the horns. Mulkey said we'd have to win in the paint to win the game.

Mission Accomplished.

Fun sitting in a UT box, decked out in Green and Gold, and you sneak out with a win. Those folks thought they had it in the bag going to the fourth. Love watching people in Orange leave shaking their heads.

Let's not look too far ahead. We still have to play the Sooner in Norman.

Mulkey/Aston rivalry can not hold. Somebody's gonna get a left hook at post game handshake some day. Maybe the tourney final?
Usually when one coach has worked for another coach, there's a lot of affection and warmth in subsequent years, even as rivals. Why has this relationship gone so sour?
