another phantom foul call, this one on Toomey playing standard post defense.

ESPN basically has an iso cam on the Texas coach and have mentioned him by name well over a dozen times. Meanwhile you would think UNC brought their club team with no coach.

We have a long history of our offense falling apart against better teams. It's something we can't get fixed for whatever reason.

Going to have to stay on them hard and not let them get up too much. They almost choked away the UCLA game so if we can stay within striking distance we may have a chance. another offensive effort like the second quarter will kill us though.

Home court cooking with these refs. One team gets to bulldoze players off the court, no foul, y
the other team gets phantom and touch fouls. Guess who is who. Think we need Brooks in just to generate some shots.

Bring the A game Heel's for the second half.
Settle down and play smart, get good shots and rebound.

I felt pretty good having UNC +16.5 at the end if the 1st quarter... not so good at the half.

Oldacre fouled Harris 3 times on that possession including the made shot

finally called it on the next possession, glad I got that in the complaint box in time

Hopefully the refs will not stick it to us with this review of contact.

Clearly not an unsportsmanlike foul. That was a basketball move coming straight down and Sidberry was in Toomey's cylinder.

Another review:

Not sure what the rule is here? Toomey was in the shooting motion but clearly had not released the ball. 🤷‍♂️

edit I was wrong, not yet in shooting motion. but I don't like the whistle to negate easy layup.

Texas player sliding over well after the pass was made. Basket should count.

What is CB doing with this new offense?? Like none of the players ever look in rhythm. And why is Hull just now checking in?? She's been one of the better shooters on this team all year. I just don't get what she's doing. Doesn't seem like she's putting players in the best position to succeed

TX cant seem to miss mid-range jumpers. the whole team appears automatic even when defended.

Had a feeling that the hot shooting couldn’t last forever. This team needs to build its defensive identity - probably can’t match last year’s intensity, but need to step it up.

On defense TX continues to play smothering perimeter defense. No UNC passing and no UNC 3 pointers. only 7 attempted and we made 2 of them.

We countered in Q1 with dribble penetration at will, but that has dried up.

Texas is very good. In the half court, they rival UCONN with their sets and their defense.

That is why you grab the ball and run. When we have let them set up their press and force us to play half court we have struggled.

I’m beginning to have doubts about our current head coach which I’ve never had during her tenure.

Texas shooting 50% on 2 pt shots and a majority of those points are midrange.

I’m drawing a blank, but is Coach Banghart’s best road win the Arizona victory in the NCAA tournament?
