Well, then maybe Texas is taking heart from the fact that they held Baylor to fewer points than UConn did. :rolleyes:

Baylor was not shooting well. Texas got lucky, but I don't think they got lucky on the fact that they couldn't hit any either. Honestly, it's a shame that Tennessee and Texas both have so much talent, but no coach to develop it and use it correctly.
 
Thought this was a interesting post presser where Mulkey talks about Baylor vs Texas rivalry.

FWIW I don't really know what's happened at Texas in just the last couple of years. They weren't this inept or underachieving just 2-3 years ago. The team that gave the Stewart-led Connecticut team a relatively tough game in the Elite 8 in Bridgeport in 2016 wasn't that horrible, and they weren't just skating by on talent alone. I can't help but wonder if losing Travis Mays as an assistant has been the downward turning point.

My opinion only, but losing Travis Mays definitely hurt this program, team chemistry is obsolete, no focus, and no one wants to lead this team. Players look lost and confused, which could be from having a few transfers coming in and not understanding the playbook.
 
Although I am a SC fan, Texas use to be one of my favorite teams. Mostly because of Brooke and Ariel. But i lost all respect for Karen Aston because of what she did to Baylor's freshman Queen Egbo. I also think it was very weak of Aston to press the last two minutes of the game when Baylor put their bench in.

The Oregon State fans here would know but I think you’re right that the black with orange trim is the main road uniform, while the home uniforms are white.

Could have swown I’d seen an orange version in past years, though.

I'm pretty sure they did used to have road uniforms that were primarily orange. Seems like almost everybody has an alternate black road uni, but black and orange really are their school colors.

What did Karen Aston do to Queen Egbo?

edit--here's a shot of Weisner in orange, so it wasn't that long ago.

Weird. I clicked that link a couple minutes ago and it was a picture of Weisner. Now it's throwing up this redirect where if you click through the link you end up on an article with that picture of Hamblin.

That does look more like Hamblin. I swear it was a pic of Weisner that I linked, don't know what happened. When I clicked on my link just now it didn't show any image at all. I'll just delete it since it's not working properly.

When Queen went on her official visit to Texas she committed as soon as she put on the Longhorn uniform. Aston Asked her to hold off on her commitment because they had just gotten a word that Charlie Collier was about to decommit from UCONN. Collier committed to Texas. She basically put Queen on the back burner. A kid that really wanted to go to her dream school gets told to not commit because they want to see if they can get the higher recruit. Queen was really upset, but I'm so happy she found a home at Baylor. She is so happy there and kim loves her.

If you're familiar with local restaurants, would you have any other recommendations for Waco?

Just curious: How did you find out all this information? Was it publicly reported?

Was anything stopping Queen Egbo from committing days, weeks, or months before this event? Scholarships are not on the table indefinitely, things happen. Maybe it sounds bad but this may have been best for her. Even if Texas did honor their scholarship offer, would going to Texas with Sedona Prince and Charli Collier in the same class be a good idea? Probably not. So while it sounds bad it seems to have worked out for both parties.

I don't know, you would have to ask Queen that question. Alot of kids commit on their official visit. And yes it worked out in her favor. She is with a winning program and I heard her and DiDi are the life of the locker room. She extremely happy and loves it at Baylor. Queen just won her first ring last week ...Look at Texas now... sometimes Blessings come on disguise !!

Uh, she's a freshman playing very limited minutes behind Brown, Cox and her fellow freshman Smith. It's great that she gets to yuck it up in the locker room and all, but I'd hardly call that a resume builder.

I am not a big fan of how Syracuse plays in general. Too much reliance on 3 pt shooting and trap defense.

Also, I realize I do not see too many ORST games but I think their jerseys usually only have some orange trim?
Expand ...
Seems like a lot of trim.

I don't know what these people would have had Aston do. Should she have done what Mulkey has done in the past, collecting commitments like trophies even if it means over-recruiting at a certain position?

If in fact this water-cooler story is true (and experience has taught me to be suspicious of anonymous folks claiming a personal relationship with a recruit's family), then if anything Aston did the honorable thing in being up front about her priorities even if it meant losing a very good player to another school. Say what you want about Texas' struggles this year, but this is hardly a reason to be resentful of her.

What better way to learn as she gets to compete against Brown and Cox in practice daily. Queen's had more game minutes than all other freshman combined (with the exception of Smith), which is very odd with a KM bench. She's had a very good year and playing wisely beyond her years. I'm happy it all worked out for her.

Thank you Skilz, practicing with upperclassman that are bigger than her will only make her better.

I think these are now the alt road uniforms. There was a news item about the men from last season
Oregon State men's basketball to wear new uniforms for 2017-18 season
The Beavers, whose season starts in more than six weeks with a Nov. 3 exhibition against Pacific, will have black road uniforms and orange alternate uniforms, all designed by Nike.

Being obsessive compulsive sometimes I went back through the twitter feed for the Oregon State women and only saw the white home, pink cancer specials, and black road uniforms before I gave up.

Definitely! I’m looking forward to watching her grow with this team.
