WBB: #24 Texas (12/17/11)

[Mean Green Matt]

Frank Erwin Center

Austin, TX

7:00pm

Texas leads series 10-0

Despite a 1-2 week (against stiff competition though), NT remained at #29 in the mid-major poll. The three games in 5 days were brutal, but Karen Aston offered no excuses. Texas is ranked #24 in the country. Hopefully our Austin area alumni show up to this game in force to support a highly improved team that (by the looks of it) will contend for the SBC title.

This year, Texas has only lost to Stanford and Tennessee.

Apparently we are without Jasmine Godbolt and Braylah Blakely tonight...That eliminates our two best chances at an inside presence.

glad to see we finally have a coach that is not afraid to take it to a ranked team or body bag game.

Very refreshing.

I think it's clear by now that Coach Aston doesn't believe there is any such thing as a bodybag game.
