Tara was simply outcoached, plain and simple. The defensive pressure of Texas got into her players minds (including the theatricals of Audrey WARREN), resulting in them playing uptight throughout. On the other hand, the much smaller Longhorns played loose, like they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
regarding the theatricals of audrey warren, vic schaefer, when at texas a&m, used danielle adams in exactly the same way against stanford in the final 4. appears schaefer trains his players in many defensive strategies, some wholesome, some shady - including the flop.
