I think she  may have finally found her pairings.  Callie Owens started for the first time along with Charlene Shepherd.  She only put one of the freshman guards on the floor at a time in the first half.  I think Jackson played the first quarter and Boyd the second.  Summer Jones has been coming off the bench late in games but has shown the ability to provide some offense.  She started for the first time too.

Her second group included Destinee McDowell and Anisha George to provide scoring.  Madi Townley is starting to take a few more shots too.  Trena Mims came off the bench but it was clear that she was taking the open 3's when she could.  It was her best game and the first time she has looked like she did last year.

Overall, it was the best they have played and I think Coach Mitchell may have figured out how to fit all the parts together.

We will have to see, almost anything will work against a very poor team like Xavier of NO.    Not starting your best players seems suspect.  McDowell looks like a player based on her play thus far, she should get starter minutes.

I think the starting lineup against Xavier was an opportunity to take some of the pressure off some of our freshman and rest George against an inferior opponent. The good news is that Jackson and Boyd found their offensive game a little in the second half and hopefully they can build on that going forward. I love McDowell's game, she could be a special player for us in the future. Jones has a sweet looking shot, hopefully she gains some confidence from her performance.

      He's "cleaning" something. Briskly, it appears. But I don't think it's the bell.

      Ask UTA how that worked out for them.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      The P2 schools make 5x our annual revenue. Five times! And most of their revenue is from media deals, ticket sales and donations while our revenue is mostly from student fees. This article mentions a possible 22% revenue distribution to players (collectively bargained pro sports are closer to 50%.). As far as I can tell, our revenue from all sources is running at around $44M annually so 22% is about $9.6M that would go to the players. Where would this money come from? What would we have to cut to get it? Could we increase donations to cover that? I doubt it. I don’t think that you can ask students to pay the salaries of other “students” playing sports. That is not right. I wouldn’t have an issue with the players being compensated via media deals, ticket sales and alumni donations. But at North Texas, that ain’t big bucks. I just worry that the train has left the station on competing in football. Especially since there are teams in the P2 who can afford to pay their BACKUP quarterback more than our entire NIL budget. And every good player on our football team last season has left our school for more money at other schools. At that point, why even pretend that we can compete for a national championship in football? And if you can’t win, why not play something else? Let’s find a different level with a sustainable model that provides an opportunity to really compete. Basketball is a different story because you can put all of your resources into a rotation of just 8 players. And I do believe that we can still compete at a national level in basketball.
