Texas will play Fordham (!) for the tournament championship.

Nice comeback by Texas tonight. The Longhorns played well as a team and Sug Sutton really took the reins. I am encouraged.  Freshman Audrey Warren making her first start scored 15 points on 6 of 9 shooting (2 of 3 from 3) and 1 of 2 free throws. Add 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals,1block, and zero turnovers. Color me impressed.  Note that Audrey was not any kind of high school all-American that I know of.  Prospects Nation ranked her the 80th best prospect. She was outside the ESPN Hoopgurlz top 100.

In early games the Horns did not look like a top 25 team, let alone a top 10 team.  I thought that might be true of a number of ranked teams this early in the season and that view has been supported by the games this weekend.  Texas may still be closer to a top 20 or 25 team than a top 10 team. Losing Higgs is huge. Texas is without all three of last year's starting guards though Sutton would have started on many teams. The way I see the early season is this:  find a way to win the game in front of you, build your resume and RPI, try to get better each day.
