Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4833208, member: 12088"] The difference is already apparent after the 85-79 loss to Baylor, who led for the entire game. Madison Booker had a great game more or less playing PG with 25 pts 8 assists 7 rebounds 5 TOs. I say "more or less" because it seemed more like a tandem PG with Shaylee kinda shoring her up and providing some needed speed. Shay Holly played well too. Booker has a good drive to the rim, which is more about muscle than speed. And Texas was notably slow. By the 4th quarter Booker was exhausted, and the whole team looked tired, and this contributed to 23 turnovers. Jones didn't play and Moore was used sparingly. One of the TV commentators suggested that the string of cupcake blowouts in their OOC schedule hadn't prepared them to play this hard for en entire game. Texas is definitely a hobbled team right now. Things will look better if Jones and Moore can return. But the loss of Rori is huge. Games against WVa, TCU, K St, ISU and Baylor (again) suggest they could take a bunch of losses, maybe as many as 5 or 6 in conference. I don't think they can be the favorite to win the Big12 any longer. [/QUOTE]
