Baylor vs Notre Dame 4/7

[Undercovervol]

If Young goes pro this year, she needs to work on her three point shot. That's the shot Baylor is leaving open and Young hasn't attempted one.

She's capable of hitting them.

Feels like Baylor brought their A game and Notre Dame is struggling to get off their B+ game.

ND seemed really thrown off by their length and speed defensively. Just rushing shots and making bad decisions.

Jackie is playing like she's been thinking too much about the WNBA draft. She's as bad as I have ever seen her in a big game.

 

[Undercovervol]

Baylor looks better rn but Notre Dame is forcing a lot.

 

[Vowelguy]

FG percentage
Bay 61%
ND 26%

A lot of that is Bay's size, but gap will likely close a little

if notre dame dont make 3's i dont see em winning. Down 12 but it felt worse, they were down 13 vs miss st. Hopefully lightning strikes twice

I felt like she had a couple small openings but she likes to be wide open if she shoots the 3.

Interested to see if Didi Richards can defend Arike in the second half

That is one of the unique things about Baylor. They speed you up a lot more than usual and make you second guess your shots due to the size they have. The guards are pesky and you have two monsters in the paint swatting balls like volleyballs.

Right, torched us in the semi finals last year

If you get past the guards, you still gotta deal with volleyball player Cox once you’re at the rim

 

[Undercovervol]

Then she should take them! On at least 3 possessions I count she was open outside and never even looked to try it. She's not tall enough in the W to afford not having that in reliably in her offense.

She should def take them, but between her and Arike, who should shoot more? Depends game to game. Young also knows she can get to the rim at will...
I think it's shocking that Notre Dame has completely abandoned its high low game.

 

[Orangutan]

I would just like to see ND get close enough to put a little pressure on Baylor and see if they tighten up.

Right now, they are very comfortable and as long as they are up 10+ it will stay that way.

 

[SECbbfan24]

I wanna see more of Nalyssa Smith in the 2nd half

Kalani will have to hit her free throws. Leaving points out there.

I wanna see more of Nalyssa Smith in the 2nd half

Get ready for Cox/Smith next year...

Just foul Kalani. She's tighter than a drum at the FT line.

Yeah you start seeing them when they aren't even there yet. Except Turner who has drove it right at them a couple times when they were in position.

O boards are only thing keeping ND remotely in this. With that FG shooting disparity (FT attempts, made 3's, TOs all about even) this should be a blowout. Brown's 5 missed FTs also leaving the door open somewhat.

 

[Carnac]

I want to see more Baylor height and dominance in the second half. C’mom Baylor, fulfill your destiny. Be great, play like a champion the second half.

She's had a great game so far but those misses are very poor play

 

[Orangutan]

Well, whatever happens, I have most of a bottle of good whiskey and Wrestlemania is on tonight.

 

[DeeHusky]

Get ready for Cox/Smith next year...

Smith will take Brown’s place, who will take Jackson’s?

 

[Undercovervol]

This game isn't over. ND more than capable of coming back. Baylor will tighten up if it gets close.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Both teams scoring at will to start the 2nd half

 

[psconn]

Maj got that one right.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Cox got mugged in the paint that trip
