This team deserves their own thread. Scrappy defense and great offense. Up by 21 at half on 9-1 UNLV.

Iām here! My first Cowgirl hoops game this season. Been to several games in previous seasons and this squad has a completely different energy and passion for playing well. Our boys could learn something from the ladyās shooting and overall disciplined play.
Hoyt is the real deal. I predicted when Chad hired her that this would be a grand slam hire. So far, sheās proving me right.

Definitely have been playing well. Iāll reserve judgement until we see how they do once conference play starts.

Iām loving how they move the ball on the offensive side. So much better than our menās team. Maybe Boynton needs to take a few lessons from Coach Hoyt.

Girls scored 20+ points in every quarter. Never really had a scoring drought of any length. They didnāt ever take their foot off the throat at all. I love that mentality.

True, but in circumference the rim still doubles the menās basketball.

I always felt like shooting with a girls ball was harder than a menās ball. In OK they used W regulated ball sizes until the 9th grade, when I was in school. It was so much easier to aim the menās ball for some reason.

Yeah. Put too much power on it. But thatās why it seemed harder.

I was a big strong boy.
In general, womenās teams have a tendency to play more like a team. Much less āisoā (me first mentality) and more active movement and āassistā (team first mentality). IMHO this is tied to stereotypical differences in females and males. Women have less biological strength and are innate nurturers. This results is a compensatory emphasis on strategy, finesse, patience, and overall teamwork - all qualities that improve shot selection and accuracy.
But general stereotypes aside, Coach Hoyt definitely has this team playing much better than Iāve seen Cowgirl basketball in a long, long time! I say go Cowboys AND Cowgirls! Letās get both teams to the NCAA tourney!

This season, the ladies have already matched their win total from last year. They definitely are playing better than the boys right now

I knew last year was bad, but I didnāt realize they won so few games last year. Thatās crazy theyāve matched it before conference even starts.
It was pretty bad. 3-15 in conference.
I would expect them to do much better this year
Another hoops thread? Ahhhh yeah
Cowgirls play Air Force at 11 am. ESPN+
