Is this the first game that Joyner Holmes has played in this season?

I don't believe so

Second

Looks like Holmes played 3 minutes against Oklahoma on the 28th. That must've been her season debut.

She went 0 for 3, had 2 turnovers, and picked up 2 fouls in 3 minutes and didn't play the rest of the game.

Ouch! Some rust to shake off?

 

[Plebe]

West Virginia is down 2 starters, and one thing they cannot afford is foul trouble. Especially with Muldrow, who picked up her 2nd foul in 1Q and sat the rest of the first half.

Texas makes 1 good play and then 2 bad ones. They try to play too fast. They had 14 turnovers in the first half.

 

[Plebe]

Ouch! Some rust to shake off?

Yes. She wasn't allowed to join the team (for anything, including practice) until December 23. I would be surprised if she didn't have major rust.

 

[stwainfan]

I expected this game to be closer. Texas has looked very good so far.

 

[Plebe]

Rellah Boothe with a bit of a coming-out party. 14 points including two 3-pointers in a row in the 4th quarter.

Holmes is a shadow of her former self. Will she be able to round into form to any extent that will allow her to contribute?

If so let's hope it's not until after January 15th.

Well, maybe she can have one good game between now and the NCAA tourney.

You're right. Maybe she should call it quits as I expected much much more from her at this point in her return to organized/competive basketball.

I'm sure you are concerned about her finding her groove again.

You can't be serious. 3-4 team practices and 2 games with limited minutes and you think she should quit? Maybe you should quit having unrealistic expectations.

I'd like to think they were being sarcastic.

I thought that at first. But the second sentence confused me. My apologies if it was sarcasm.

 

[easttexastrash]

I hope she does. She is way too talented to have a season like this.

Of course I'm being sarcastic...how else could I've responded to that statement.
