Inconsistency, along with not enough college basketball to make good decisions. It seem s to be the plague that is haunting the young Longhorn women. 21 games into the season, down two players to medical (Bass and Reed). Not enough players have stepped up to fill rolls on this team. That's where decisions are made within the players. Coaching can only take you so far. then players have to step up. 21 games, you're not rookies anymore.
The word tonight was, "URGENCY"! The Longhorn scoring drought toward the end of the first half (4:27, 24-25 ISU). A layup by Fussell. Until a jumper by Fussell at 18:34 of the 2nd half.(26-42 Iowa St). As Longhorns Coach Astin said "the urgency wasn't there." And it has to come very quickly, because this Saturday Baylor come to Frank Erwin, need I say more. It will also be Brittany Griner's last time in Frank Erwin as a college basketball player.
Then it was walk away time for Iowa St. Knocking down 3's (10-24). Iowa St's Anna Prins was (3-5) with timely 3's, to go along with Brynn Williamson (4-6). (19, 15). As a team Iowa St offensively do what they are pretty much known for and that is shoot 3's often. Whether they are making them on a regular basis or not. For Iowa St it is all about their offensive and defensive schemes. It is what works for them.
Final Iowa St 67, Texas 48.
The post game is coming later. Punching it out now.
