WBB Schedule Released

Ok, you all know I have a prejudice in favor of womens' sports over mens', but I think this schedule is much more intriguing than the MBB slat released last month.

Highlighting the non-conference schedule will be the contest at Tennessee - UT’s first road contest of the year - which takes place on Sunday, Nov. 18 (2 p.m. Central on ESPN2), and a game at Arizona State (Thursday, Dec. 20). The Sun Devils were a a 2006 NCAA Final Eight squad. Along with Tennessee and Purdue, other Longhorn opponents advancing to the 2006 NCAAs include UT-Arlington (Thursday, Nov. 29), Louisiana-Lafayette (Sunday, Dec. 16), along with Big 12 opponents Baylor, Iowa State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M. Texas could face another opponent, DePaul (at the Maggie Dixon Surf ‘N Slam Classic), which advanced to the 2006 NCAA tourney as well.

Star-divide

Although Duke and Rutgers drop off the schedule, Texas has picked up perennial post-season vets Purdue and Arizona State. Throw in Tennessee and Texas has an extremely tough road schedule. That's not even taking into account Virginia and maybe Kentucky, Minnesota and/or DePaul at the neutral-site tournaments.

No backing down from tough opponents despite the loss of All-American Tiffany Jackson. I love that.  You gotta admit Coach G has b@lls!

A killer schedule ...

... what's your assessment of the team?

Still way too early to tell

There is talent on this team, given that Jody left behind 3 top-5 recruiting classes. And in a way I think the team will be better off without Tiffany, given that they always tried to force the offense through her rather than running a real offense. And I think Coach G has brought a new energy and focus. If we can avoid the injury bug I think we can challenge the Land Thieves and aTm for the conference title, but it's a tall order.

If we win one of the three big road games against Tennessee, ASU and Purdue I'll feel much more confident about the Big XII season.

Officially a Limey Longhorn
