Texas lost the way they've ALWAYS lost. Read Jerritt's press conference comments. Throw in a little head coach cheerleading and Khat Bell-in-the-huddle as your red flags. And there ya go.

I respect Texas. I’m sure the press conference wasn’t easy but they gave credit to Louisville and were gracious in defeat. This is how elite programs behave on the rare occasions when things don’t turn out the way we expect. Congrats to Louisville. It would be great to see them make the final four.

No coach will ever say it, but the ones that have a big talent advantage often put less preparation into teams they feel they should easily beat. I bet UT spent more time scouting Minnesota and Florida than they did Louisville. And yes, that's even coming off the scare against UCSB. Whereas DBK and Louisville were looking at Texas like their national championship match. That said, Texas shouldn't have lost that match, so hats off to DBK and her staff. They had a great gameplan and the players' belief never wavered. You could see it in their body language from the first point that they 100% believed they could pull off that upset and didn't get down on themselves during sets 3 and 4 when Texas started rolling.

I get looking past a team once. But to get a scare and do it a second time is unacceptable. You would have think that first time would wake them up. That’s usually the positive to getting scare early. It wakes you up. In Texas case I guess they didnt learn anything from prior game. Maybe they were under assumption khat not being on sideline coaching ment she was gonna suit up for them and play. I also think in some situations playing at home can be detriment. You can get too relaxed causing a focus lapse

Go ahead, just dont complain when other teams start to crap on Nebraska. Which I know will happen (for the record its not ok that they do that), and you will complain when they do it. I guess you don’t know that they already do, especially the Wisconsin and Texas jackjerks. That’s why I dish it back

When DBK comes into view, I can’t look at anything else besides her jacket Karch and Sunderland said DBK lost a bet with her team, which is why she wore the jacket. It’s allll making sense now.

Listening to Rockwell and thinking back to teams past for Texas, why have they NEVER sped up their offense? It’s not like they don’t have the personnel to do it?!?!

Did they have the setting or ball control to do it? point taken, but there has not been even a slightest shift in offensive philosophy.
