we looked like trash today. Texas players neutralized our players, and Vic neutralized Dawn. We looked inept, untalented, and outmatched. Pains me to say but Texas is the better team this year. It’s weird that this team is so schizophrenic—we saw it against Oklahoma, Kentucky, and now Texas.

Simple. The better team won. They have both the best Big in the conference and the best player. The better team won. The team we should have had this year might have been good enough. This one isn't.

Longhorns shot excessively well too. And they were obviously fired up.

Are we still firing Mark Calvi?

We played like a mentally tired team in a game that we really wouldn't get much out of in the lbig picture. All it means is that we will be the 4th Overall Seed instead of the 3rd Overall Seed. I feared we would have a let down after another emotional win over LSU. The sky fell the last time we lost in the SEC Final. Nobody cared 3 weeks later. Team gets to rest and reset for 12 days and start the real journey. Texas was the better team today. However, the notion that the season is over is nonsense.

I think Reagan Beers and Clara Strack would disagree with the assessment that Texas has the best big. Which big are you even talking about because Texas sort of platoons two bigs (Cunningham and Oldacre). Both are very physical and it gives our girls problems, but neither is really skilled. Now, you have a point with Booker. However, I think a takeaway from this game is that we can't leave Tessa to guard Booker. If we were to meet again, the pairing of Raven and Agot works better. Raven can't guard Harmon and Booker. Finally, front court has to toughen up. Jumping for rebounds is not optional. If you want to win a Chsmpionship, the effort that you saw against LSU has to be a habit. Yesterday was the first day I saw Joyce jump for a rebound all year.

Joyce hasn't been all that great of a rebounder since she has been here. Maybe it's by design and not her role......I really don't know enough about basketball to know. The one I am concerned with is Okot. It seems she disappears when faced with a comparable big. I feel confident this team will rebound and make a nice run but I don't see us being in the finals with this team especially with all the injuries.

It looked to me like Texas had the attitude we had on Saturday, we're not going to lose this game. Their interior D was stellar, but their perimeter D was even better, I can't remember us getting off very many 3's and that is all defense!

They're better. By us suffering a reduction in strength while their overall talent increased, they surpassed us.

For statistics i would prefer they lose now than in the NCAA tournament.
