So, they named Maddie as the player of the game. She was the one that saved us when we ran dry, pulling us out of those Texas runs. We saw some strong performances under pressure from Peyton, Gabbi, and Vivi. Carter set the pace at the start of both halves. Wish she would learn not to reach in (also Kay Kay).
We didn't even get the home officiating. That foul that they called on Sharane giving Enempkali free throws when it was Nneka consistently pushing Sharane in the back out front was absurd, as the announcers noted. What were the officials thinking?
Texas is good, and they can beat a lot of teams just with their inside power. They win most games by 18 points in the paint. We won tonight's game on points in the paint (it being 24-18 with about a minute left). They may have tied it as we let them get layups while we were hitting free throws at the end. Up until real late, we had the lead in the paint, and they usually dominate.
They were missing two key guards who will return. We may see a little different team in Austin. But, they may see a different team as well.
