#6 Texas vs #2 Maryland - 3/28/21

[Blueballer]

Wow Maryland is like a piranha on a roast!

Ha - you think Vic will resurrect that quote? Maybe.

Brenda has done an incredible job coaching the last two years IMO

I'm hearing Benzan's name a lot. Who knew she was such a distributor on offfense?

I honestly like her more than Mikesell

Slam dunk. Mikesell struggled in all aspects of the game. Shooting, ball handling/running the offense, defending.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well Texas didn't roll over and die. Getting back in this. 13-7.

edit--make it 13-10

 

[nwhoopfan]

18-12 thru Q1. More entertaining than it initially appeared it would be.

The fact that the #1 WNBA prospect can’t score easily over a smaller freshman is....concerning

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Give Texas credit for the fight after the initial haymaker by Maryland.

 

[Shades]

What was Taylor doing at the end of the quarter? Take a shot. Don’t act confused and turn it over.

Reese is only one inch shorter than Collier and is more athletic.

Around January, I became convinced she could go scoreless for the rest of the season and still be drafted #1.

It’s bizarre, the anointment. She’s a good player, and she’s got skill. But she vanished from games way, way more than you’d ever want a lottery pick to do — let alone the #1 overall.

She has half of Texas’ points.

Wonder if Vic has ever considered hiring Melanie Balcomb to get some offensive pointers?

 

[donalddoowop]

Is anyone noticing how Lobo is not pronouncing "t's" in some words? Words such as "important", she pronounces
"impor ant", and "potent she says "po ent". She sounds like a valley girl. Just saying.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Texas has done a great job slowing the game down but they can't score.

 

[Mulder]

Texas is playing like Rutgers.

 

[Mdoggie]

Collier vs Ono. I will take Liv all day long. I really wonder if Collier would have developed differently at Storrs? She is supposed to be the #1 pick in the draft. Interesting.

 

[hoopsfan22]

This is a little like our game yesterday. Every time Maryland looks like it's gonna blow it wide open, Texas makes a little run to get back in it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Big time flop by Texas player, didn't work, she got called for the block.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Credit Texas for hanging tough, but they've turned this into an ugly scrum. Game started out w/ Maryland playing beautiful basketball.

 

[Mulder]

The Horns are hanging in there.

Hook 'em!

Not trying to pick on you specifically but is there a mirage effect around Olivia Nelson-Ododa? I have seen multiple instances where posters on here said they would take her over Collier, Boston, and Cunane. All three of those decision seem unwise to me but the latter two egregiously so.

ONO does some things well and is growing immensely as a facilitator, but she is not a physically-dominant center and is already not the best post player on this UConn team, IMO.

Only way for TX to compete - they can't win in a free flowing game.
MD ain't getting to 100 tonight.

 

[MSUFan2003]

Vic's goal is usually to turn games ugly, and he's succeeded so far.
