It's also worth mentioning that PaoPao is a better guard than Texas has on its roster.

The crowd/venue appears to be a factor too.

Lots of players deserve their flowers but I think we need to lift up Feagin after this one. Best game of her career!

I had forgotten how annoying Vic Shaeffer teams are. The most physical team you’ll see all year, but they flop over in a stiff breeze. Disgusting basketball.
Women’s game needs to start using the circle in the paint. Can’t let teams park a midget two feet in front of the basket and dare you to shoot a layup.

Notre Dame played nearly 9 minutes of the 4th on the road in a tight game at Clemson without being called for a single foul. Wow. That’s impressive discipline.

Dawn has never really had a lot of trouble with Vic's offense, but that was a 1% result in so many different ways on both sides.
I think obviously a statement for SCar and an early edge for SEC race.
Somewhat a reinforcement of the UCLA game in other respects.
Oldacre is no Betts.
Carolina somehow struggled with the pressure and also shot incredibly well. Just a strange thing all around.
I will be pulling hard not to have to see UCLA again in the tournament.

Kind of a strange game all-around. South Carolina actually won the rebounding battle but Texas had 28 (!) more shot attempts, aided by SC’s +10 turnover margin. Still, really odd result to see a team with that many extra shots lose by 17. Rematch should be very interesting:
If you’re Texas, you have to feel good that Booker won’t shoot 3-19 again and that Feagin may not have another career night.
If you’re SC, you have to feel good that you overcame the offensive rebounding differential and still came out on top. Need to find a solution for Oldacre though. She’s the kind of bruising low-post player that has always thrived under Vic.
I’m not sure Texas has the same kind of home court advantage as SC (few teams do), but I do expect a much closer contest in Austin.

Wow. I did not know that Coach Staley was winning like that against Coach Vic. Holy smokes!

Strange game today. I will say this about my SC team. When the light shines brightest the stars come out. I thought Feagin was outstanding today. She just battled all game. Never got frustrated. Bree Hall played outstanding defense. Yes, Booker missed a bunch of shots but I also don’t think she’s had somebody deny her the ball like Bree did today. When she got it she was just trying to get a shot up because she wasn’t getting easy access to the ball all game.
i also have to shout out MiLaysia. She was a difference maker. She had some turnovers, but she played great defense and was also very good in transition. She put a lot of pressure on Texas just by being there. I didn’t think she was careless with the ball, as 2 of her turnovers were on charges where she made the shot. She made Rori Harmon’s life miserable when she was in there also. Other than maybe Hidalgo, I’m not sure there’s a guard who can keep up with Lay.
You could tell these players have “been there” before. Dawn said these girls’ eyes light up when there’s a number attached to the team we are playing. They come to SC because they love these types of games. I also think the CLA with 18,000 people who seem to be right on top of you is intimidating. There’s not a day off in the SEC this year so both teams will have to move on quickly.
