Joyner Holmes just went to the bench with her 2nd foul at 3:04 in 1Q.

Both teams having trouble scoring. Texas up 9-6.
 
Texas leads 19-14 but their foul trouble is now a problem. Collier picked up her 2nd early in 2Q and Texas goes small, no Holmes and no Collier. Can TCU take advantage?
 
BTW, I like these two announcers. I still say despite Holmes having her best year by far, she is still underachieving and will fall into the category of Mercedes Russell, a heralded big who never reached her potential.

The color analyst is Longhorn legend Andrea Lloyd, a member of the undefeated 1986 team. She's a huge upgrade over Nell Fortner imo
 
Yes, she is actually filling me in on style and players on the floor and calling that there are not smart shots being taken...Now if TCU could stay close...

TCU has to be disappointed that they failed to capitalize of Texas's foul trouble. Holmes only played 5 minutes and Collier only 12.

Audrey Warren, in only her second game back from concussion protocol, was a lifesaver for Texas amid the foul trouble in 2Q, taking charges and hitting a short jumper as time expired. Texas leads by 5 at halftime.
 
I must say, these Longhorn Legend commercials are pretty funny. The Clemens commercial made me laugh out loud.
 
end of 3rd quarter.

TCU 50-45.

Horns tie the game. 60-60
 
TCU just got a go-ahead putback with 6 seconds left.

Texas calls timeout to try for the tie or win.
 
Down goes The Lady Longhorns!

TCU 65-63.

Sutton called for a travel, TCU wins at Texas for the first time ever.
 
Lauren Heard 26 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast, 3 stl

Another ESPNW player of the week candidate.
 
Karen said they didn't show up in the 3rd quarter.
TCU won it by 10.
 
Ok so TCU is better than Wichita St.... But this is what happens when a more talented team like TX doesn't handle an opponent who gets physical and fouls on every play. I'm sure glad UConn and in particular CW found a way last night....

I am not particularly a fan of Texas, but I do not like the way the refs gave this game to TCU. Two plays stood out for me: First, early in the game, Collier is going for a rebound, a TCU player goes over her back and lands on top of her and Collier is called for the foul. She leaves the game with foul trouble. Second, Taylor, near the end of the game, is bounced between two TCU players, one of whom hits her in the face, and Taylor is called for the foul. It fouls her out. Overall, I think the referees did a very poor job with this very physical game.

I do usually root for Texas (family in the area that does) although I'm not a fan of the coach and I'm no fan of TCU (but like their coach) - so I was fairly neutral.

I agree on the play near the end of the game , I thought it was odd, I don't remember the other. In general, however, the calls didn't seem particularly an issue.

It was a decent game to watch.

You are way out out of line here. It is the referee's responsibility to protect players from injury, which is why the refs call against Taylor was appropriate. It is about time that referees began to protect basketball vital areas like players knuckles and elbow joints from the thuggish assaults of the other players', (none basketball essential) faces in a blatant effort to injure and take them out of the game.
 
Some refereeing insight I noticed in the last two nights.
In two games that I watched, WS/UConn and DePaul/Providence, it was discussed at halftime how in each game the one team was the recipient of the foul calls and I believe in each case, one of the teams hadn't attempted hardly any FTs while the other team had attempted double digits.
However in the second half, that team started having fouls called on them with plenty of "in the same area code" type calls. So I believe that the refs are privy to the game stats at the half and adjust accordingly.
And BTW, it seems especially odd that Meg fouled out in less than 6 minutes of game time vs. WS. She got called for her first with about 2 minutes to go in the 3rd and fouled out before the 6 minute mark of the 4th quarter. Verrrrry strange indeed.
 
I was rooting for TCU - didn't notice the refs as being particularly bad one way or the other, but as a non-passionate fan, I was not as focused on it as maybe some others (or I just didn't pay enough attention!). Either way nice win for TCU.

I know Joyner Holmes has gotten some heat from fans on here, and while she's one of those kids who I think could REALLY have benefited from playing under Geno (or Tara or even Muffet), I was impressed with her. Big girl, moves well, has a nice touch, and tries hard. Not a fan of her uber-long fake eyelashes, but other than that, I was impressed. Still needs to get in better shape, but then I remember Kaili McLaren, who never seemed to get fit while at UCONN. I guess diet and fitness isn't for everyone...

That kid from TCU is fearless (actually they had a couple players with lots of effort). The announcers said they just missed out on the NCAA's last year so the HC beefed up the OOC schedule. Kudos to her. This was an important game. They got up about 8-10 points late, but Texas made a big run towards the end.

With all the top name talent Texas has, it's a game they should have rolled in. Off the top of my head I can name 4 Texas starters without looking, and that's not something I can say for most other top 25 teams, never mind non top 25.
