Women Mean Green vs. UTA in NIT

[BleedingGreen]

Ladies up by 19 at halftime in a fun, emotion filled game . No more A Johnson but others taking up slack. Tenacious defense causing many turnovers. Watch on ESPN +.

Massive run by UTA cuts UNT lead to 5 at the end of 3rd.

What happened to Johnson?

That ref crew has called games before and were sketchy, especially the old guy. Not good.

I am curious also, however I think Brackens is a better player despite being undersized.

Yes, Brackens is one of the best athletes on the team.

She has good bloodlines.  Daughter of stud defensive end Tony Brackens who played for Texas and in the NFL.

Another win in a record breaking season. Good game. UTA brought their band, cheerleaders, and mascot. It was cool that they had a good showing, but their attendance was uncomfortably close to ours.

No idea what happened to Johnson. Burton mentioned postgame that "she's just no longer with us - her choice." She was listed on the paper roster available at the game and she's still listed on the roster online. So, I guess whatever happened was very recent. Just my speculation.

The men and women have a combined 33-2 record at the Super Pit this season. There is a chance the women could host again later in the tournament. Regardless if they get that opportunity it has been an amazing season of basketball at the Super Pit. GMG

I heard she just flat out quit and didn't say why.  Sad.

Sounds like Aniya Johnson could be the women's About Ousmane quitting on the team for the NIT. Let's see if we win the whole thing this year, too.
