beat TAMU 79-64. GG is making a push for an automatic bid!
 
Texas guards Anderson and Fussell combined for 54 points. Surprised the aTm guards could not defend better.
 
An automatic bid entails beating Baylor. Really tough proposition for anyone, especially a middling team.

2-0 over the aggroids for the season! 2-0 in MBB, 1-0 in football, easily winning the Lone Star Challenge in what was generally a down year for Texas sports. Have fun in the SEC, losers.

LOL. :)

I was waiting to hear from you on this.
 
How do we think TAMU will do in the SEC??

Challenging KY/Tenn/LSU/SC for the top of the league.
 
Wins over TAMU & Oklahoma in the last week help A LOT. And puts them in tie for 6th.
But going 2-7 on the road in conference does not.

Oh, ok. 18-12 overall. 8-10 in conference. A nice tourney run would help. An early loss could mean WNIT.

I hoping for early loss. Texas would just get into the tourney to lose in the first round again. WNIT needs a "T" in it.

I think Texas will make the NCAA's. As for A&M in SEC. I think they will be a factor. I see Ole Miss, Mississippi ST. , Auburn all will have new coaches. I think those teams will be the bottom teams. SC, Arkansas have improved. Vandy was a young team this year. Tennessee will look diffrent. I think Graves and Carter will have impact right away.

I think they'll do quite well in the SEC in WBB. Their incoming class is stellar.

In football...yikes.

The Aggies have really let me down this year vs Texas... ESPECIALLY that football game. Oh well... I never liked them anyway.... just pulled for them to beat Texas this year.
 
The Longhorns just got stomped by Texas Tech 81-58 in the first round of the Big 12 Tourney. Wonder if they still make the NCAAs

The Longhorns and Tar Heels might be the victims of Gonzaga and St. Bonaventure failing to get automatic bids.
 
How's this for Gail's breakfast reading:

After overcoming two months of torturous ineptitude and then staving off three potential death blows in recent weeks, the Texas women's basketball team arrived at Municipal Auditorium as the Big 12's great survivors.

Then the Longhorns spent two hours inventing horrific new ways to kill their season.
In a dismal performance that brought their supposedly safe at-large NCAA tournament bid back into question, the eighth-seeded Longhorns were humiliated by ninth-seeded Texas Tech 81-58 in the first round of the Big 12 tournament Wednesday.

This game story is brutal. It continues:

How bad was the Longhorns' worst? During the game's first 12 minutes, they missed 22 of 25 shots and still found time to turn the ball over 10 times. In the first half, they shot 7-for-39 (17.9 percent).

Overall, they were 19-for-75 (25.3 percent), and many of the misses rolled off the rim from point-blank range. The ones from farther away often failed to draw iron at all. And the struggles came against the Red Raiders (19-12), a team so unaccustomed to playing good defense they didn't even claim to do it spectacularly on Wednesday.

"I wouldn't say we handled them," Tech coach Kristy Curry said. "They missed a lot of shots."
 
Charlie says they're "on the right side of the bubble" and I think that's just big conference bull. It's a privilege, not a right, to go to the Big Dance. Risk the ire of the horde and send, say, Appalachian State instead of some sorry excuse for a big money program.

Amen, and those kids from Appalachian State will value it so much more because just getting there is their dream.

Why? How does that benefit WBB? Texas has spent crazy money in support of women's sports, not to mention that, by way of ripple effect, a lot of other schools have as well (see the raises Gary Blair, Kim Mulkey, and Sherri Coale got for instance). What has Appalachian State ever done for women's sports or for their own brand?

Not to mention that, as erratic and disappointing as Texas has been, they could actually win a game in the tourney.

Who cares? What have they or their institution done to deserve it?
 
Appalachian State went 25-6 against a schedule that featured only two power conference opponents (Georgia and Virginia- who summarily dismantled them). In their last game they lost to Samford. Texas has wins over Cal, Texas A&M (twice) and Oklahoma. There's really no comparison.

Spent money a lot more efficiently and effectively to be on the same bubble as Texas. Give it to the team exceeding expectations not the one living them down. Doesn't have to be Appalachian State they are just the symbol.

Hey.... take it easy on App State..... they are good people up in the mountains. ;) Plus they will forever have a place in my heart for the football team's 2007 victory in Ann Arbor.

Unfortunately, said victory doesn't count in their WBB team's RPI. :)
