Is it anathema to even think about any other game tonight?

Florida State leads 9-7 at the first media timeout.

The officials are very whistle-happy so far. Ten fouls in just 6 minutes. Including a horrendous block/charge call that went the wrong way. Let us hope and pray that the UConn-SC game isn't like this.

Amen to that!

So, this is a game against a top 10 team, and yet the field house is nearly empty. C'mon FS: get the kids out for the game!

Too much 1 v 1 for my liking from both teams so far.

A soothing interlude until the Main Event... We won against them both.

Uurgh. So many fouls. Very little offensive flow. Hope second quarter gets better.

FSU leads 15-14 after 10 minutes.
Romero picked up her 3rd foul late in the 1st quarter. We won't see her again for a while.
A total of 12 fouls called overall. Might we see 50 fouls in this game?
Antonelli and Mowins are both commenting how there is zero rhythm to this game, and they're right.

Neither team can hit the broad side of a barn so far, including wide open layups

I think this game was mislabeled. It says Texas vs. Florida State, but it's really a game between Turnovers and Fouls. Turnovers are currently in the lead, 18-16.

Texas with a nightmarish 2nd quarter so far. McCarty looks like the only Longhorn who showed up.

Florida State is really frustrating Texas, and that's with Romero only playing 6 minutes in the first half, with 3 fouls. FSU 35-26 halftime.

Outside of McCarty, Texas looks nothing like the giant-killer who torched Baylor a week ago. Cold, cold shooting and giving up oodles of O-boards.

Offensive rebounding (13) leading to second-chance points (11) for FSU. Imani Wright and Brittany Brown got hot and combined for five 3's in Romero's absence.

Texas isn't always this horrible. At least McCarty came to play.

Is it possible to win a game without getting a defensive rebound? Texas looks like they're trying. Down by only 5 at the 3Q media timeout.

It would be nice if she had just a bit more help....

I can't believe these are two teams we played and had decent games with. I think we would steamroll either one now.

McCarty continues to be the lone salvation of the Lone Star Staters. Swishes a 3 at the 3Q buzzer, but that only cuts the lead to 10. And that elicits Antonelli's second "Shoot till your arm falls off!" of the night.

I suppose one downside of being a UConn fan is that my tolerance for all these boneheaded plays is low.

Holmes looked so good against Baylor last week, but tonight she is back to just floating around the perimeter. They should just give her a whistle.

Now it is heating up. Really like watching McCarty. A very smart and confident player.

If Texas wins at Baylor and at Florida St in a 10 day span, they could be the #2 team.

Wow what a collapse by FSU in the 4th quarter. Outscored 22-9 with 16 seconds left. What happened??
